What we handle on the floor

Smart hands, not spare hands
01 Rack & stack

Servers, switches, routers, firewalls, and PDUs — unboxed, railed, racked, labeled, powered, and verified against your elevation.

02 Structured cabling & patching

Copper and fiber patching, cable management, and labeling — dressed cleanly so the next tech (and the next audit) thanks you.

03 Hardware installs & swaps

Line cards, optics, power supplies, drives, and memory — installed or swapped with serials captured and RMAs coordinated.

04 Troubleshooting & diagnostics

Console access, link and light-level checks, reseats, and reboots — with your NOC on the bridge and eyes on the gear.

05 Cross-connects & circuits

Cross-connect coordination, demarc extensions, and circuit turn-up support — light levels verified before anyone closes the ticket.

06 Decommissioning & audits

De-racking, cable removal, asset recovery, and site audits — inventory, port maps, rack elevations, and photo documentation.
