What is Smart Hands Support?

Smart Hands support is outsourcing the onsite management, installation and troubleshooting of your data center equipment to third-party IT professionals.

Smart Hands FAQs

Many businesses lease data centers that aren’t near their physical offices. With Remote Hands services, third-party IT professionals are on-site to perform simple maintenance tasks like monitoring alerts, power cycling and rebooting servers.
The biggest difference between Remote Hands and Smart Hands is whether the complexity of the task and whether the technician must open up the hardware. So, Remote Hands can be handy if your needs are small, but Smart Hands can handle everything Remote Hands does and more. If your data center is extensive and your needs are high, then you should consider a Smart Hands solution. Remote hands services involve basic maintenance for your data center hardware. While remote hands services may vary, they typically include:
  • Receiving equipment shipments
  • Inventory management and labeling
  • Securing or moving network cables
  • Rebooting servers
  • Power cycling routers
  • Reporting equipment status
Many data centers offer remote hands services as part of the contract for a fee or at no additional cost.
Smart Hands services can be delivered proactively or reactively, depending on your budget and needs. In a proactive model, the tech team constantly monitors equipment and fixes issues to prevent outages. In the reactive model, equipment issues must be identified before they are resolved. While the proactive model requires ongoing management and is therefore more expensive, it also ensures greater uptime. The reactive model is more budget-conscious but incurs greater risk of downtime.
