Designed, built and operated by one team: WZ-IT connects private cloud and networking with custom software and AI for your business knowledge. Hosted by us in Germany, in your cloud account or on your hardware. As a partner that grows with you, we keep your IT current across AI, infrastructure and open source.
The Problem
Four patterns we see again and again as systems grow and downtime gets expensive - and that single measures rarely solve.
Systems that grew over years, knowledge locked in a few heads, no solid plan for outages - the risk grows every year.
Hyperscaler bills and licensing models like VMware's keep rising while control over costs, data and dependencies shrinks.
Your current provider looks after what it knows. AI, open platforms or leaving expensive licences never make it onto the agenda, and pilots never reach production. Year by year, your IT falls further behind.
Monitoring, backups, updates, security and responsibilities are only clarified once the system is already in production.
Three layers
Your systems should work together. We connect all three layers and take care of the agreed operations.
Knowledge that helps your team: explore documents, preserve experience and use AI to support recurring tasks.
Applications that fit your working day: connect processes, modernise existing software and build solutions around your needs.
The foundation your business runs on: servers, networks and secure access - hosted by us or in your environment.
One shared operating framework. Access, updates, monitoring, backups and ongoing development are planned together - not added after launch.
The System Journey
Not every engagement starts at step one. This journey shows how our capabilities work together and why architecture, implementation and operations do not stop at team boundaries.
01Understand & design
We begin with business processes, system boundaries and ownership. Only then do we decide between cloud, Proxmox, Kubernetes, custom software or managed open source.
Architecture consulting on the operating strategy - cloud model versus own infrastructure, weighed on the facts.Explore our approachMigration as movement
The target picture is set. Now the controlled movement begins.
Reduced monthly spend from USD 1,300 to USD 250 through the migration.81%02Infrastructure foundation
We build public-cloud, private-cloud, Proxmox, Kubernetes, on-premises and hybrid architectures with clean compute, storage, network and backup design.
Built and modernized sovereign infrastructure for a medical professional society.Infrastructure & Proxmox03Connect securely
WireGuard, OpenVPN and NetBird are components in an architecture of identities, routes, policies and transparency. This also brings client, contractor and OT access under control.
Browser-based, role-based and auditable access to distributed water treatment assets in Australia.LiveNetworking & Secure Access04Application Platform & Operations
We stabilize existing business software, containerize it where useful and establish a resilient delivery chain from Git through build and registry to controlled deployment.
Deployed services to production, improved the existing configuration and continued supporting maintenance.Kubernetes & Application Platform05Software, Data & Open Source
We build portals, business applications, APIs, data platforms and operator tools and connect them with ERP, CRM, databases, legacy and open-source systems.
Stabilized and took over a legacy PHP application - now extending, restructuring and continuously building on it.Ongoing buildSoftware & Platforms06IoT & OT
We connect hardware, radio, edge, secure site connectivity, platforms and applications. The result is an operable system instead of isolated sensor, gateway or dashboard projects.
Provision new smart-gym sites in 5 minutes instead of 3 to 4 hours.98%Explore IoT & OT07AI & Knowledge
We connect data sources, models and applications with permissions, quality checks and operations. On your existing platform or jointly planned infrastructure.
Integrated a local AI solution into the existing IT environment quickly, competently and pragmatically.AI Systems & RAGAI
From model to application: we make knowledge useful and connect AI to your processes, data and permissions.
Structure conversations, notes and documents for subject-matter review. Support succession and onboarding with traceable sources.

GPU infrastructureManaged LLMOpsLong-Term Ownership
One team remains accountable for infrastructure, application platform and production application. This reduces handoffs, blind spots and time to resolution.
Our managed operations cover cloud and Proxmox as well as Docker, Coolify, Kubernetes, open-source applications, IoT platforms and AI systems. View managed operations
Our philosophy
Stay for the quality of our work. Not because leaving is impossible.
One system. Your operating model.
Independent by design: we plan operations and the path to another provider from the outset.
Reviews & projects
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.

No risk: worst case, you leave with a clearer understanding of your project than before.
Whether a specific IT challenge or just an idea - we look forward to the exchange. In a brief conversation, we'll evaluate together if and how your project fits with WZ-IT.
WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.
