Some Issues Just Can’t Be Solved Remotely
Remote support handles 80%+ of tickets, but the remaining 20% requires hands-on attention. Without local engineers, those tickets stretch into days.
Hardware failures need physical access
Failed servers, dead workstations, broken switches — these don’t reboot themselves. Remote sessions can’t replace cables.
Office moves and buildouts
New office, expanded space, or major reconfiguration? Onsite engineering for cabling, networking, and physical setup.
Major outages need someone in the building
When everything’s down, a remote ticket queue isn’t enough. Onsite presence for diagnosis and rapid recovery.
Hardware deployments
New laptops, monitors, conference room AV, printers — onsite installation and configuration when you need it done right the first time.
Cabling and structured wiring
Drops, patches, racks, terminations — physical infrastructure work that absolutely cannot be done remotely.
Executive support and meetings
Sometimes leadership needs a real person in the conference room when something fails. Onsite presence builds trust during crises.
What Our Onsite Engineers Handle
Six core categories of work that benefit from a real engineer in your office.
Server & Hardware Installation
New server, switch, firewall, or appliance? Physical install, rack mount, cabling, configuration, and validation onsite.
Learn more →Hardware Troubleshooting
When something fails physically — RAM, disk, NIC, power supply — onsite diagnosis and replacement faster than mail-in repair.
Learn more →Networking & Cabling
Structured cabling, drops, patches, rack terminations, wireless surveys — work that fundamentally has to happen in the building.
Learn more →Workstation Deployment
New laptops and desktops imaged, joined to domain, software deployed, and delivered to user desks ready to work.
Learn more →Office Moves & Buildouts
New office or major reconfiguration. Network design, cabling, equipment relocation, and cutover coordination.
Learn more →Emergency Response
Major outage, security incident, or critical hardware failure. Onsite within 1-2 business hours during business hours.
Learn more →One Hire vs. an Entire Bench.
Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
