Smart Hands in Toronto
The Toronto Stock Exchange is located in Toronto and was founded in 1861. TorIX, the Toronto Internet Exchange, says it is Canada's largest internet exchange point and one of the largest in the world. For a business that keeps equipment in the city, that means a growing share of its estate sits in colocation halls where the building is run by someone else and the hardware is yours. Telehouse Toronto (151 Front St West) stands on Front Street West in Toronto. Smart hands covers the work that goes beyond a reboot or a visual check. It is technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge: an engineer who can read what a device is reporting, decide what is wrong, and act on it inside your rack. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator. It works inside data centers that other companies own and run, and it does not host workloads or operate buildings. A request starts with a description of the fault or the change you need. When the work is finished you receive a written account of what was done, so your own team has a record of the state in which the equipment was left.

Our Smart Hands Services
Smart hands in Toronto is scoped around the task rather than a fixed menu. The engineer on site works from your instructions and from what the equipment itself shows. The work that typically falls under this service includes:
- Fault diagnosis on servers, switches and storage, working from console output, LED states and link status to locate the failing component.
- Hardware configuration and reconfiguration where the task needs configuration knowledge, not only physical handling.
- Component replacement after diagnosis, including the swap itself and a check that the device returns to a healthy state.
- Cabling work: Reboot Monkey engineers install and patch the cabling in your rack, and cross connects and carrier circuits are ordered from the facility operator and the carriers present in the building.
- Fibre troubleshooting, with a fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit available on request.
Why Reboot Monkey
Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network and data-centre hardware, together with the services that deliver, install and support them. The company is not a hosting company and does not own data centers. Continuity is built into how jobs are staffed. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so a single unavailable person does not stall a request. As of 2026, Reboot Monkey's field engineers work in 190 countries and more than 400 locations. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. Ask for a quote with the task, the rack location and the time window you need, and the scope is confirmed before any engineer is dispatched.

Do you work in every datacenter in Toronto?
