Why DACPROS

Don't take a chance with generalists.

You don't have a full-time DC team — and you shouldn't need one. But when your server goes down at 2am or a client needs 10 servers racked by Friday, you need someone who knows their way around a cage. That's us.

With a generalist

  • Your colo's remote hands takes 4 hours for a 5-minute reboot.
  • You drive to the data centre yourself — again.
  • The freelancer you found online can't get badged past security.
  • Nobody photographs the work, so six months later you're guessing.

With DACPROS

  • One certified engineer owns the job — call to sign-off, same day.
  • Badged and cleared at major UK facilities — Telehouse, Equinix, Global Switch and more.
  • Every visit photographed, labelled and documented with a full audit trail.
  • You stay at your desk. We deliver at the data centre.

Field operations

No DC team? No problem.

Most of our clients don't have on-site data centre staff — they're SaaS companies, MSPs, hosting providers and growing businesses with racks in a colo. We're the team they call when they need hands on the floor, without hiring a single engineer.

Proven standards

Before / after. Meticulous by default.

Questions

Smart hands, answered.

My server is down — can you send someone to the data centre?
Yes — call our London hub on 0333 444 8301 and we'll dispatch an engineer to your data centre. We attend major UK facilities including Telehouse, Equinix, Global Switch and regional sites. We scope the work — attendance is scheduled subject to location, scope and engineer availability. We can reboot, diagnose and swap components on your behalf — you don't need to be there.
I need someone to rack and cable new servers — do you do that?
Yes — rack and stack is one of our most requested services. We rack the hardware, route and dress the cabling, connect power and network, install the OS if needed and test the lot. From a single 1U to a full-cage buildout, we handle it end to end.
Can you be our outsourced data centre team?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are SaaS companies, MSPs and growing businesses that have racks in colocation but no on-site staff. We act as your data centre team on demand — smart hands, builds, maintenance, decommissioning, the full life cycle — so you get enterprise-grade support without the headcount.
What is a smart hands service?
Smart hands is on-site technical support at a data centre or server room. DACPROS engineers act as an extension of your IT department — re-seating cables, swapping components, racking and stacking, running diagnostics and being your hands and eyes on site, available.
Where does DACPROS operate?
DACPROS covers the whole of the UK with engineers nationwide, coordinated from our London hub in Hammersmith. We attend data centres and server rooms across major UK corridors including Slough / M4, London Docklands and the Thames Valley.
What hardware life-cycle services do you provide?
We cover the full equipment life cycle: smart hands, build and deployment, decommissioning, recycling, moving infrastructure, RMAs, ITAD, and white-label IT services.
Is DACPROS certified and accredited?
Yes. DACPROS engineers and processes are backed by industry accreditations including CompTIA A+, CDCMP (Certified Data Centre Management Professional), PRINCE2 and ITIL.
Do you operate outside business hours?
DACPROS operates Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00. Attendance is scheduled subject to location, scope and engineer availability. Pre-arranged out-of-hours attendance may be available.
