Smart Hands vs Remote Hands

While related, remote hands and smart hands represent different service levels in data centre support. Here’s what you get with each.

Smart Hands

Handle complex technical challenges that require specialised expertise and physical equipment access. Our smart hands technicians perform equipment installation, advanced troubleshooting, firewall configuration, complex cable management, and hardware repairs. These services require skilled engineers who can make technical decisions on-site.

Remote Hands

Cover basic operational tasks that don't require opening equipment or complex decision-making. These include power cycling servers, checking indicator lights, basic cable management, and status reporting. Remote hands services are typically included in standard colocation agreements and provide essential monitoring capabilities.
