Perhaps your business has recently grown a lot, or you\u2019re thinking of starting a business and you want to make sure you get off on the right foot. The types of Internet services out there that an MSP can provide for your business vary greatly. Once you\u2019re all caught up on how exactly your Internet service will be helping your company, it\u2019s good to know some more details about the various \u201cperks\u201d involved. \u201cRemote hands\u201d is one of these perks, and it\u2019s a great feature of any MSP\u2019s program that will go above and beyond other aspects of a service you expect to have.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about \u201cremote hands\u201d and how it will help you immensely as your MSP monitors your business\u2019 Internet situation:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is \u201cRemote Hands?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most people have a general idea of what it means to access a computer or network remotely. Maybe you don\u2019t know how to do it yourself, but you know it can certainly come in handy when you\u2019re in desperate need of help from your MSP. Remote hands is a way for your MSP to access your equipment at the data center when you can\u2019t go there yourself. It could either be because you\u2019re traveling or because you just can\u2019t seem to figure out what to do. Overall, it\u2019s just easier when a technical specialist can hop in there right away. After all, why waste time?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because Time is Money<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, you can\u2019t afford to sacrifice your company\u2019s efficiency just because you\u2019re having an Internet issue. If you\u2019re running a large business online, you can lose a lot of money even if you have a minute of downtime. Your MSP understands this.<\/p>\n<p>And, as we know, time is money.<\/p>\n<p>An MSP knows that the type of Internet services businesses choose from are chosen for a reason. You need your IT team and the rest of your staff to focus on what\u2019s important. You can\u2019t take the chance that someone <em>might<\/em> be available if your server fails. And, anyway, you can\u2019t ask staff to walk away from their responsibilities to visit the data center when you\u2019re not around. Luckily, a remote hands service will be there to rescue you and the rest of your staff in no time.<\/p>\n<p><em>In addition to the variety of Internet service packages Wowrack provides for businesses, we take it a step further. As part of using our services, we offer \u201cremote hands\u201d options that will leave you worry-free when you can\u2019t physically be available to fix a problem with your Internet.\u00a0 <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowrack.com\/about\/contact-us\"><em>Contact us<\/em><\/a> <em>today to learn more<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Difference Between Basic Remote Hands and Smart Remote Hands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While \u201cremote\u201d really has only one meaning in this case, there are different ways your MSP can access your equipment to help you. Of course, this will vary by each managed service provider, but generally, you can find this type of set-up across the board:<\/p>\n<p>One type of remote service is known as\u00a0 \u201cBasic Remote Hands.\u201d This is when your MSP can do the basics by remotely accessing your system. This includes situations that would require anything from a reboot to checking out KVM\/IP hook-up problems, replacing hot-swappable power supply units, or just checking your device to better understand what the issue may be.<\/p>\n<p>The other type is more advanced, and it\u2019s known as \u201cSmart Remote Hands.\u201d This allows your MSP to do things that they would essentially only be able to do in person through smart technology. With this type of remote hands service, they can open up a device and troubleshoot directly, and even replace certain components that could be causing the problem you\u2019re business is having with the Internet. Of course, since this is more complex, your MSP may charge a different amount for such a service.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sometimes, it\u2019s nice having an extra set of hands; even if those hands are digital!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking into utilizing the help of a managed service provider, then you already know what it can do for your company.
