Custom-Built Refurbished Servers to Your Spec
Enterprise Performance. Lower Cost. Built for Your Business.
If your business needs a new server for virtualisation, file and print, backup, VDI, database, or AI workloads, buying new hardware isn’t always the smartest option.
At XS Network Tech, we help businesses in Australia get the server hardware they need. Our servers are fully customised, fully tested, and delivered at a much lower cost than brand-new equipment. Get the exact server configuration you need without paying new-hardware prices.
We specialise in configured-to-order refurbished servers from leading enterprise vendors including Cisco, Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and NVIDIA. Our team sources hardware from trusted suppliers, builds to your specification, and supplies the finished server ready for your data centre, branch office, hybrid cloud, or on-premise environment.
Whether you're updating a rack in your data center, setting up a new virtualization host, or installing a server for a branch office, we can procure, configure, and supply a pre-owned server that fits your needs and financial plan.
Why choose a configured-to-order refurbished server?
Buying a CTO refurbished server through XS Network Tech gives you:
1. Lower cost vs new
Refurbished servers offer high performance at a much lower price than new hardware. They are perfect for organizations with limited budgets, project costs, or plans to save money.
Many of our customers save 40–70% compared to buying new without sacrificing reliability or performance.
2. Enterprise platforms, not consumer gear
XS Network Tech focuses exclusively on true enterprise server platforms, including:
These units are built for real-time performance, data security, processing power, and virtual environments, not consumer-grade tasks.
This makes our refurbished servers ideal for:
✔ IT teams
✔ MSPs
✔ SMBs
✔ Cloud computing environments
✔ Hybrid cloud integrations
✔ Data-intensive workloads
3. Hardware tailored to your workload
Every environment is different. Whether you're building a virtualisation cluster, supporting AI workloads, running virtual desktops, or refreshing a data centre rack, we build the ideal configuration for your needs.
You choose the components. We build it.
We can tailor servers for:
- Virtualisation (VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox)
- Backup and DR
- Surveillance workloads
- Database workloads
- VDI
- Development / test / lab environments
- On-prem or hybrid cloud deployments
You specify:
✔ CPU
✔ Memory
✔ Storage
✔ RAID
✔ Networking
✔ Storage capacity
✔ Form factor
✔ Real-time performance requirements
This ensures your server is optimised for your actual workload, not a generic preset.
4. Sustainability built in
Refurbished servers meaningfully reduce e-waste and support environmentally conscious buying practices without sacrificing performance.
Using high-quality enterprise hardware again keeps equipment out of e-waste. It keeps platforms useful for small and medium-sized businesses. These platforms can still handle many tasks for enterprises.
For businesses with sustainability goals, this also helps support ESG compliance and environmental reporting.
