Smart Hands in Phoenix
DE-CIX says Phoenix represents the fifth largest data center market in the U.S. Phoenix is also the capital of Arizona and the fifth-most populous city in the United States. For a company that keeps servers and network equipment in a Phoenix data center, that means the work in the rack rarely stops at pressing a power button. PhoenixNAP stands on E. University Dr in Phoenix. Smart hands is the part of datacenter support that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge. Where remote hands follows an instruction step by step, smart hands means an engineer who reads what the equipment is doing, decides what to check next and acts on it.

Our Smart Hands Services
Smart hands work in Phoenix is scoped around your equipment and the problem you need solved. Reboot Monkey is a third-party datacenter services operator, so the engineer works inside a data center that another company owns and runs, on hardware you own or lease. A request starts with a description of the fault or the change, and a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site.
The work typically covers the following:
- Diagnosing faults on servers and network equipment that need judgement beyond a reboot or a visual check
- Configuration-aware work on equipment in your rack, carried out on your instruction
- Installing and patching cabling in your rack, including cross connects ordered through the facility operator and the carriers present in the facility
- Fibre inspection, with a fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit available on request
- Component swaps and hardware replacement on live equipment where the fault calls for it
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. It is not a hosting company and it does not own datacenters. That separation matters when a smart hands request involves several parties: the building belongs to the operator, the circuits come from carriers, and the equipment in the rack is yours. Reboot Monkey sits across those parts as one point of contact. The network side is handled in the same way as the physical work. Reboot Monkey sells the network for the rack, 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. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
How Reboot Monkey Works
These terms apply in every facility in Phoenix 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does smart hands cover in Phoenix?
Smart hands covers technical work that needs diagnostic judgement and configuration knowledge, as distinct from remote hands tasks such as reboots, cable checks and visual checks. Prices are quoted on request and depend on the customer and the size of the job.
Do you provide on-site IT support in Phoenix data centers?
Yes. Reboot Monkey engineers work on site at your rack, diagnosing faults on servers and network equipment and installing and patching cabling. A fibre inspection scope and cleaning kit are available on request. You send a request describing the fault or change, and a second, briefed Reboot Monkey engineer is named as backup for every customer site.
Do you work in every datacenter in Phoenix?
Reboot Monkey engineers work in any facility in Phoenix 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 Phoenix?
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 Phoenix?
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.
