What PBIT Systems does

PBIT Systeme GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held, owner-managed IT system house headquartered in Cottbus, Germany, founded in 2015. The company delivers manufacturer-independent IT infrastructure services to mid-market and large enterprises as well as German municipalities and public authorities, with a geographic focus on eastern and central Germany (Brandenburg, Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Thuringia) supported by regional offices in Dresden, Schwerin, Erfurt, and Neubrandenburg. Its service portfolio spans server virtualization and private cloud (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Hypervisor, Proxmox), network design and management (Cisco, Fortinet, Barracuda), workplace systems and VDI (Citrix), infrastructure monitoring (PRTG, Check_MK), IT security aligned to BSI IT-Grundschutz, and storage and backup (PureStorage, SEP, fast-lta). A core operational asset is a BSI-compliant, DIN EN 50600 availability class 3 data center in Cottbus with climate-neutral cooling, solar self-generation, and Blue Angel (DE-UZ 228) environmental certification. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001 certifications, is a Microsoft Silver Partner, and is a member of the Alliance for Cyber Security and the LOHROB IT network.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: IT consulting and engineering services delivered on a project basis, recurring managed services and IT operations under defined SLAs (including remote operation of central IT infrastructures for industrial and public-sector clients), and data center/hosting services from the Cottbus facility. The company sells exclusively through direct, consultative enterprise sales with engineering-led engagement and partner-level knowledge transfer, and does not publish pricing. Customer concentration is split between private enterprises and public administration, with no individual customer logos or revenue figures disclosed in the available material.
