NTS

What NTS does

NTS Netzwerk Telekom Service AG is an Austrian-headquartered IT infrastructure and managed services provider founded in 1995 by Alexander Albler and Hermann Koller in Raaba-Grambach near Graz. The company operates as a Cisco-centric systems integrator with deep specialization in networking, cybersecurity, data center, collaboration, and hybrid cloud, holding NetApp Prestige Partner status and maintaining certified expertise across 46 CCIEs, 380+ Cisco certifications, and 100 Splunk professionals. NTS employs more than 870 staff across 24 locations in Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Australia, and the USA, and serves over 1,000 enterprise and public-sector customers including Red Bull, SPAR, Liebherr, HILTI, MAGNA, Energie Steiermark, and government bodies.

The product portfolio is organized into five pillars — Network, Security, Data Center, Collaboration, and Platform — delivered through modular managed services and As-a-Service consumption models (NaaS, Firewall-as-a-Service, Private Cloud-as-a-Service, Splunk-as-a-Service). Proprietary assets include the NTS Operations Center (24/7 SOC), NTS Defense Services (SOC, SIEM, MDR), OT by NTS (industrial cybersecurity under IEC 62443/NIS2), INVENTORY4ALL (automated IT inventory), and the NTS AI Platform for on-premises AI deployment with data sovereignty. The company is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISAE 3402 Type 2, and carries the Cyber Trust Austria Gold Label.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring managed services (monthly/annual subscriptions), project-based professional services, consumption-based As-a-Service contracts, and one-time hardware/software resale from Cisco, NetApp, Dell, VMware, and other vendors. Pricing is quote-based and engagement-specific. The company reported group revenue of approximately EUR 100 million for 2025 and has been expanding its product surface aggressively in 2024 with AI-ready infrastructure, Kubernetes managed services, and the "NTS Super Services" security umbrella, signaling a deliberate pivot toward recurring, AI-inflected managed services for regulated DACH enterprises.
