A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS
Sunspeed’s Smart Hands service provides expert, on-the-ground technical support for your data centre and comms room environments. Our engineers can carry out a wide range of physical tasks, from installing servers and patching cables to replacing components, labelling infrastructure, and performing routine health checks. Whether the job is reactive or planned, single-site or multi-site, we deliver consistent, high-quality support across your infrastructure.
Our approach is grounded in process. Every task is handled with care and documented appropriately, giving you visibility and assurance throughout. Because our engineers are experts in critical IT environments and trained on industry best practices, you can trust us to operate safely and efficiently even when handling business-critical systems.
ON-DEMAND
Best for organisations with a minimal physical footprint or low-frequency site work.
Engineers are dispatched as available to carry out tasks such as cabling, equipment swaps, and device checks.
SCHEDULED
Engineering work scheduled in advance for planned change or maintenance windows.
Ideal for organisations with a predictable operational rhythm and structured change process.
RETAINED
Contract-based support with defined SLAs and response times.
Tasks are submitted via ticketing portal, making this model well suited to uptime-critical infrastructure and multi-site operations.
RESIDENT
Full-time engineers embedded on site as part of your team.
A cost-effective solution for regulated industries or large-scale environments with ongoing hands-on requirements.
EXTEND YOUR REACH, MAINTAIN CONTROL
Strong governance is critical in maintaining stability and consistency, particularly when physical tasks are being carried out remotely or across multiple sites. Without defined standards and clear change control processes, even simple actions like a cable swap or hardware install can introduce unnecessary risk.
Sunspeed helps customers implement structured, well-documented approaches to physical infrastructure management. We work with internal teams to define task-level standards, align with existing policies, and embed governance into every Smart Hands engagement, from task logging and escalation paths to photographic evidence and sign-off procedures. The result is a more controlled, predictable environment where physical changes are executed safely, consistently, and with full accountability.
CASE STUDIES
COMBINED SERVICE DELIVERY
Our Smart Hands support can be delivered as a standalone service or as part of a fully integrated operational model. Many customers choose to combine Smart Hands into a Master Services Agreement with complementary services such as logistics and secure transport, hardware staging and configuration, warehousing, and asset disposal. By bundling services under one provider, you streamline coordination, reduce handover points, and keep your infrastructure moving efficiently.
This model also enables Sunspeed to be responsive to your strategic requirements including project-based change initiatives. With a foundation of strong data captured during our engagement, we can effectively plan and execute projects including:
