What Anovis does

Anovis (legal entity ANOVIS GmbH) is an Austrian-headquartered managed connectivity and cybersecurity services provider founded in 2004, headquartered in Vienna and operating from additional offices in Graz, Salzburg, and Kundl (Austria), Brno (Czech Republic), Munich (Germany), and Bassersdorf and Winterthur (Switzerland). The company delivers 24/7 managed services to globally distributed enterprises and mid-market firms, combining network connectivity (Managed Secure SD-WAN, WAN Acceleration, Network Infrastructure, End User Experience Monitoring), security (Network & Datacenter Security, Business Application Security, OT & IoT Security, Deception Technology, Cybersecurity Awareness, Anovis Security Monitoring), and managed service modules (24/7 Global Service Desk, Hardware Maintenance, Carrier Management, Security Operations, Reporting). Its proprietary Anovis Service Management Platform (SMP), built on open-source ITIL foundations, acts as the central orchestration and ITSM layer tying these modules together, while third-party vendor technologies (Cisco, Barracuda, Forcepoint, VMware, Riverbed, Nozomi, CYBERTRAP) supply the underlying infrastructure and detection capabilities.

Anovis operates thousands of IT security systems for customers across more than 50 countries, with named enterprise clients in manufacturing (Wienerberger, Mondi, Silhouette, Fundermax), automotive (AVL), healthcare (VAMED), and telecommunications (A1 Telekom Austria). Its go-to-market blends direct enterprise field sales with technology partner channels and business partnerships (A1 Telekom Austria, T-Systems, Wipro), and monetizes primarily through multi-year managed services subscriptions priced on modular scope and SLA. ANOVIS GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of x-tention group gmbh and operates as a member of CymbiQ Group AG (Zurich); Mag. Markus Guttenberg serves as Geschäftsführer and Peter Mercelis as co-founder and Chairman. Certifications include ISO/IEC 27001:2022, GDPR compliance, and elite partner tiering across Cisco Premier, Forcepoint Platinum International, VMware Advanced, Extreme Diamond, and Riverbed RASP, supporting credibility in regulated European enterprise security deals.

Core offering

Anovis provides 24/7 managed connectivity and cybersecurity services to globally-acting enterprises and mid-market companies, delivering a modular "care-free package" that includes a 24/7 Global Service Desk, managed SD-WAN, WAN acceleration, network infrastructure, security monitoring (SIEM, NDR, deception, OT/IoT), hardware maintenance, carrier management, and reporting. The offering is underpinned by its proprietary Anovis Service Management Platform (SMP), an ITIL-based ITSM platform that automates workflows and integrates multi-vendor tools (Cisco, VMware, Riverbed, Forcepoint, Nozomi, CYBERTRAP), with consulting and implementation services spanning plan-build-run.

Product overview

Anovis offers a comprehensive portfolio of managed connectivity and security services organized around three pillars: Connectivity (SD-WAN, WAN Acceleration, Network Infrastructure, End User Experience Monitoring), Security (Network & Datacenter Security, Business Application Security, Cybersecurity Awareness, OT & IoT Security, Deception Technology, Anovis Security Monitoring), and Managed Services (24/7 Global Service Desk, Anovis Service Management Platform as the core ITSM platform, Hardware Maintenance, Security Operations, Carrier Management, and Reporting). The Anovis SMP (Service Management Platform) serves as the foundational ITSM/automation layer underpinning all managed services, while individual security and connectivity solutions are offered both independently and as part of the integrated care-free package. Services are delivered from Anovis's own 24/7 Global Service Desk with operations in Vienna, Graz, Kundl, Salzburg, Brno, Munich, and partner locations in Switzerland.
