Smart Hands in Bangalore
CtrlS Bangalore DC1 stands on Veer Sandra in Bangalore. For a team that runs equipment in the city but not from the city, the question is who can stand at the rack when something needs diagnosing, reconfiguring or replacing. Smart hands answers that question. It covers the technical work that goes beyond following a written instruction: tracing a fault across a server, a switch and a cable, deciding which component is at fault, and applying the configuration the fix requires.
The distinction from remote hands matters when you write a work order. Remote hands covers physical tasks carried out exactly as instructed, such as reboots, cable checks, component swaps and visual checks. Smart hands is the next level, where the engineer needs to understand what they are looking at and make a call. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator and not a hosting company, so the hardware, the contract with the facility and the decisions stay yours, and the engineer acts as your hands and your eyes on site.

Our Smart Hands Services
A smart hands request in Bangalore starts with a description of the fault or the change you need. A Reboot Monkey engineer is dispatched to your facility, works through the task on site and reports back on what was found and what was done. A second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site, so the work does not depend on one person being available.
Typical smart hands tasks sit between a simple reboot and a full installation project:
- Fault diagnosis on servers and network equipment, where the cause is not obvious from a remote console
- Configuration work on hardware that needs more than a power cycle
- Cabling checks and corrections in your rack, including patching ordered cross connects
- Fibre inspection and cleaning, with an inspection scope and cleaning kit available on request
- Component swaps that follow a diagnosis made on site
- Hardware monitoring of your servers and network equipment by the Reboot Monkey NOC, where the work is paired with monitoring
Why Reboot Monkey
Reboot Monkey sells rack space, IP transit, leased IP addresses, network, data-centre hardware and the services that deliver, install and support them, inside data centres that other companies own and run. That model shapes how smart hands works in practice. On the connectivity side, Reboot Monkey orders the cross connects and carrier circuits from the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility, and its engineers install and patch the cabling in your rack. One supplier can therefore handle the circuit order and the physical work that follows it, which keeps a fault or a change from bouncing between several parties. For procurement, prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job. A quote request that describes the equipment, the task and the facility lets the scope be set before any engineer is dispatched.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Bangalore where Reboot Monkey engineers work.
- Response: 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA, and a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. The incident response SLA covers incidents and unplanned requests; on-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
- Monitoring: 24/7 NOC monitoring across all facilities, covering IPMI, iDRAC, SNMP, temperature, power, network signals.
- Hardware: vendor-neutral technicians for Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper and Arista equipment.
- Independence: independent from facility operators (not Equinix SmartHands, not NTT staff).
- One agreement: single provider across cities, so a customer in several cities needs only one agreement.

- Published case study: a major ICT provider engaged Reboot Monkey for three full infrastructure rollouts in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, with the hardware installed the same day at every site.

Smart Hands
The data centres we work in hold their own certifications, such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001. Ask us for the certificate of your site.
Smart Hands in Other Cities in India
If your equipment is spread across more than one Indian city, the same service is available elsewhere in the country, and a single scope of work can be reused across sites. For example, the same approach applies to Smart Hands in Mumbai.
Related Services
Smart hands is often the support layer for equipment that has just been placed, moved or connected. If you are still deciding where the hardware should sit, Colocation in Bangalore covers rack space inside the data centres of other operators. Where the work goes beyond diagnosis, Reboot Monkey also handles rack and stack, which is the installing, mounting and cabling of new hardware, and server migration, which is moving equipment between racks, rooms or facilities.
When hardware reaches the end of its life, data center decommissioning covers removing and disposing of retired equipment, and IT asset disposition covers data wiping, on-site shredding or degaussing, collection and transport, with resale or buyback quoted case by case. All of these can be ordered under one agreement for the same site.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does smart hands cover in Bangalore?
Smart hands covers technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. In Bangalore that means a Reboot Monkey engineer tracing a fault across servers, network equipment and cabling, applying the configuration a fix requires and swapping components after diagnosis. Simple physical tasks carried out on instruction, such as reboots and visual checks, fall under remote hands instead.
Do you provide on-site IT support in Bangalore data centers?
Yes. A Reboot Monkey engineer is dispatched to your facility, works through the task at the rack and reports on what was found and done. The engineer works under the facility operator's site rules, and a second briefed engineer is named as backup for every customer site. Prices are quoted on request, depending on the customer and the size of the job.
Do you work in every datacenter in Bangalore?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Bangalore where the customer has equipment and access, under the operator's own access and safety rules. The customer adds the engineers to the facility's access list before the first visit.
How fast can Reboot Monkey respond in Bangalore?
Incidents and unplanned requests are handled under a 1-hour, around-the-clock incident response SLA. There is also a 15 minute premium response available where technicians are stationed on-site, as a paid add-on. On-site, dispatch and resolution times, priority tiers, and planned or scheduled work are agreed per site in the service agreement.
How is Reboot Monkey different from the facility operator's own staff?
Facility operators' own technicians work for the building. Reboot Monkey engineers work for the customer: they are independent from facility operators (not Equinix SmartHands, not NTT staff), follow the customer's instructions, and the same team can cover several buildings in the city under one agreement.
How do I get started with smart hands in Bangalore?
Send the site, the equipment and the task through the contact form. Reboot Monkey replies with a quote and an engineer plan for that facility. Once agreed, the customer adds the engineers to the facility's access list and the smart hands work is scheduled under the operator's rules.
