We take over the agreed operational scope for your OVH Dedicated Servers, VPS and Public Cloud instances. Monitoring runs around the clock; human response follows the selected service level. Your systems remain in your OVH account.
OVHcloud
OVHcloud provides dedicated servers, Public Cloud, and vRack for different infrastructure models. With self-managed systems, the customer remains responsible for operating systems, applications, monitoring, backups, and technical troubleshooting. We take over these tasks within the agreed scope and coordinate provider-related escalations.
We design private networks between suitable dedicated and Public Cloud resources. VLANs, routing, MTU, and failure domains are documented.
Additional IPs are routed or connected in bridge mode according to the server range. We use virtual MACs only where the product and target architecture support them.
We align OVHcloud Anti-DDoS and Edge Network Firewall with the local firewall, exposed services, and alerting.
Responsibility
For self-managed OVHcloud systems, the customer generally remains responsible for the operating system, applications, data, and operational controls. WZ-IT takes over the agreed portion.

OVHcloud service areas
OVHcloud combines bare metal, VPS, and Public Cloud with its own networking, storage, and platform services. For each product, we define what OVHcloud provides and which configuration or operating responsibility WZ-IT takes over.
Bare metal & VPS
We take over suitable Linux systems after an assessment and align the operating path with the relevant OVHcloud product family.
Responsibility boundary: OVHcloud is responsible for hardware, data centers, and the provider network. The operating system, local security, data, and applications remain customer responsibilities unless WZ-IT takes them over.
Outcome: A product-specific operating path instead of treating every OVHcloud server the same.
vRack & IP
OVHcloud networking features differ by server range and Public Cloud product. We document routing, bridge mode, VLANs, and failover behavior before implementation.
Responsibility boundary: Additional IP, vMAC, and vRack behave differently by product and region. WZ-IT checks current OVHcloud documentation and does not base critical architecture on unverified assumptions.
Outcome: Traceable network paths for bare metal, virtual machines, and hybrid environments.
Security & traffic
Provider-side network protection, local firewalls, and application access serve different purposes and are designed together.
Responsibility boundary: Anti-DDoS and Edge Network Firewall do not replace host and application security. Their coverage and technical limits remain separate assessment areas.
Outcome: A coordinated protection path from the OVHcloud network edge to the service inside the operating system.
Public Cloud platform
In OVHcloud Public Cloud, we take over the remaining platform and application responsibilities above the managed provider services by scope.
Responsibility boundary: A managed control plane or database does not automatically cover workloads, data models, access, capacity, observability, or application recovery.
Outcome: A clearly scoped platform operation for OVHcloud Public Cloud.
Backup, Proxmox & operations
We combine available OVHcloud storage functions with application-aware protection. Proxmox on Dedicated Servers is designed as a separate architecture scope.
Responsibility boundary: Storage features, backup, and high availability are not equivalent. Proxmox clusters, networking, quorum, and recovery are assessed separately.
Outcome: An operating and recovery model that fits the selected OVHcloud product family.
One operating model
The provider is only one operating location. WZ-IT connects servers, clouds, and on-premises systems into a documented environment with consistent monitoring, controlled access, and one coordinated service level.
View hybrid and multi-cloud operationsContracts, accounts, and administrative control remain with you. We take over the agreed technical operations without moving the infrastructure into a closed hosting product.
NetBird, WireGuard, or existing site connections integrate further clouds, Proxmox systems, and on-premises networks through controlled paths.
Monitoring, updates, backups, documentation, and incident response are designed across all participating systems and operated according to the selected service level.
vRack
Private connectivity is one building block. Routing, failure domains, recovery, and application operations must align with it.
Network scope
Note
Process
The audit first establishes current state, responsibilities, and required action.
We inventory systems, access, networking, updates, and recovery.
We implement agreed safeguards and technical access.
We configure monitoring, alert paths, maintenance windows, and documentation.
We perform the documented operating duties according to the service level.
Service scope
With Monitoring Only, our team reviews alerts and notifies your team during service hours; incident resolution stays with you. Your servers remain in your provider account. The first managed Linux server starts at €149.90; progressive volume pricing applies from the second server.
Onboarding typically starts within 1 to 2 business days after signing

Networking & Provisioning
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.
