Streamlined Infrastructure Deployment
Once infrastructure arrives at its destination, the next step is getting it installed and integrated into the environment it will operate in.
For some organisations, this work is handled internally. Others use third-party remote hands for installing hardware into racks, connecting systems, optimising, and setting up infrastructure.
Our installation and set-up services can fully support any stage of deployment.
Whether it’s basic hardware handling and troubleshooting, or full rack integration, we help ensure systems are installed expertly, precisely, and optimised perfectly for their use case.
Practical support where it’s needed
Every solution and environment is different. From deployments in large on-premise data centres and colocation facilities to smaller IT environments and manufacturing sites, we can provide installation and support services across a range of settings. This may involve sending our own in-house engineers or working through a trusted partner network to support deployments.
The aim is simple: make sure the infrastructure arrives and is installed properly, without adding complexity to your team’s workload.
The full end-to-end solution
Installation support can range from straightforward rack and stack tasks to complete hardware integration, cabling and testing. Typical activities include:
- Installation planning, including rack layouts, equipment positioning and connectivity requirements.
- Unpacking equipment, inspecting deliveries and removing shipping materials.
- Rack and stack installation of servers, storage and networking equipment.
- Power connections, including connection to existing rack power distribution.
- Copper and fibre optic cable installation, patching, routing and dressing.
- Professional cable labelling and end-to-end port documentation.
- Initial power-on checks and validation of physical network connectivity.
- Preparation of installation records and handover documentation.
Expert Installation Services
Our installation services are designed to be flexible and meet a broad range of deliverables.
You may need support installing a single system, deploying a rack of servers, or integrating multiple systems into an existing environment.
Whatever the task, we work with you to determine the correct level of involvement, ensuring the deployment runs seamlessly without disrupting any wider infrastructure operations.
Comprehensive server builds, stress tests and configuration
Before hardware is shipped to its end location hardware is passed through our in-house technical team to give customers and installers full confidence and control.
This ensures all infrastructure is operating at its best, has no faults, and is configured optimally for the end user’s needs.
Global deployment capability
Our team regularly supports infrastructure deployments across a range of national and international locations.
Where required, we work through a trusted network of established and professional remote hands partners to provide installation services beyond the UK and Europe, ensuring customers can receive consistent support regardless of where systems are deployed.
Ready for the next stage
Once installation is complete, systems are ready to move into configuration, validation and then operational use.
If you require ongoing assistance after deployment, our support services can help maintain, optimise and troubleshoot any issues as the infrastructure moves into production.
