What Smart Hands means in practice.
Smart Hands — also called Remote Hands — is the practice of placing a qualified onsite technician at your Costa Rica location to perform physical tasks under the direction of your remote engineering team. The technician works with your NOC, TAC or helpdesk in real time, executing exactly what is needed at the rack, cable tray or equipment room.
Console access — serial cable or management port connection to network equipment, servers and out-of-band devices.
Cable management — patching, labeling, tracing and documenting structured cabling in wiring closets and server rooms.
Rack and stack — physical installation of equipment in racks following your layout specifications, under remote direction.
NOC bridge call support — joining your conference bridge or video session and performing physical tasks in real time as directed by your engineers.
Asset documentation — capturing serial numbers, model numbers, firmware versions, port assignments and rack locations, with photos.
Hardware swap and power cycling — physically replacing components or cycling power to devices as instructed by your remote team or TAC.
MOP and SOP execution — following your Method of Procedure or Standard Operating Procedure step by step during the onsite visit.
ISP and carrier coordination — a technical presence onsite when ISP or vendor technicians arrive for circuit work or equipment visits.
