What are Smart Hands services in a US data center?
Smart Hands services are skilled onsite technicians who perform physical IT tasks in a data center or server room on behalf of a remote team. In the United States, companies use Smart Hands when their engineers are in another city, another state or another country, and they need hardware installed, replaced, cabled, inspected or troubleshot without travelling to the site.
ITDW Group combines US Smart Hands with hardware procurement, international shipping and data center deployment, so equipment sourced abroad can be delivered to a US facility and installed by the same partner. ITDW Group has a US office, US account management and a US phone line: +1 (321) 352-6519.
In shortYour engineers decide what needs to happen. ITDW technicians do the physical work at your US site and report back.
