Data Centre Smart Hands UAE

Trusted Inside the Cage

Global companies run critical infrastructure in UAE data centres but rarely have their own engineers in the country. When a drive fails, new equipment arrives or a server needs a hands-on check, they need someone local they can trust inside their cage.

Our engineers have carried out smart hands work in Equinix in Dubai for global technology and cloud companies. We follow each client’s method of procedure, access rules and change windows, and report back with photos, serial numbers and a clear sign-off.

Smart hands sits alongside our global field services and data centre solutions, so one team can install, maintain and support equipment from the comms room to the data hall, across all seven Emirates.

What is data centre smart hands?

Smart hands means skilled engineers who carry out hands-on technical work in a data centre for you, such as installing and cabling equipment, replacing failed parts and running checks, so you do not need your own staff on site.

What is the difference between remote hands and smart hands?
