On-Premise Server Rental
Rent the server you need, installed inside your own environment — pure operational rental, not a financing arrangement, and not hosted in a third-party datacenter.
Servers are delivered and installed on your site, configured to your workload, and integrated into your local network. Your data stays in-house, under your control.
Serving organizations across the Benelux, France, and the European Union.
How On-Premise Server Rental Works
Getting started with on-premise server rental is straightforward. Rather than selecting from fixed datacenter packages, every server is configured to match your actual workload.
You define the requirement; we specify, deliver and install the hardware on site.
The process follows three steps — scope, deliver and install, integrate — and the system is ready to run under a contract sized to your needs.
Scope the configuration
We size the server to your actual workload — never a predefined package. Every configuration is built to the requirement.
Deliver & install on site
The hardware is delivered and installed at your location, inside your own environment — not in a third-party datacenter.
Integrate into your network
The system is integrated into your local network and ready to run, under a contract sized to your needs.
When On-Premise Server Rental Is the Right Move
Buying your hardware outright is usually the natural route. On-premise server rental exists for the situations where it isn’t — when the investment budget for the year is already committed, when cash flow needs to be preserved, or when a project cannot wait for a purchase cycle. In those cases, renting keeps the project moving.
What stays the same is control: the rented server runs inside your own professional environment, your critical data stays in-house, and access never depends on a third-party datacenter or an internet link to an external provider.
With Virtualtek’s On-Premise Server Rental model the cost is a clear operating expense, with no financing commitment — and for organizations that specifically want an external financing arrangement, our partner Grenke Leasing remains available as an alternative.
It is also a practical answer to procurement uncertainty: in a market facing hardware volatility and rising component costs (RAM, storage), rental gives you immediate availability and a predictable monthly cost, without tying up capital in a purchase right now.
On-premise, on your site
The hardware lives where you do.
- Server delivered and installed in your own environment

- Configuration often selected from predefined packages

Rental First — Leasing if You Prefer
Our core model is pure rental, contracted directly with Virtualtek: a service rather than a financing arrangement, with no external lessor and no credit file.
It is recorded as an OPEX (operating expense), stays flexible, and remains open to organizations — such as public administrations — that cannot or prefer not to contract external financing.
For those who specifically want a financing arrangement, Grenke Leasing is available as an alternative.
Rental — direct with Virtualtek
Pure operational rental — a service, not a credit.
- Contracted directly with Virtualtek, with no external lessor
- No leasing credit file or bank financing assessment
- An operating expense, not a financing commitment on your balance sheet
- Flexible terms from 12 months, tailored to your actual need
- Optional purchase or renewal at end of term, scoped to your situation
- Accessible to public administrations that cannot use external leasing
Leasing — via Grenke
Optional, if you prefer an external financing arrangement.
- Financed by Grenke, an external leasing provider
- Subject to the lessor's credit assessment
- A financing commitment, treated accordingly in your accounts
- Available for private-sector organizations that request it
A Typical Use Case
On-premise server rental fits a wide range of needs. A representative example: virtualization and backup deployed on dedicated, on-site hardware.
We support industry standards such as VMware and Veeam for these deployments.
Virtualization and backup
A virtualization platform combined with a backup solution, deployed on dedicated on-premise hardware.
Capital budget exhausted, or cash flow to preserve
The investment budget is depleted, or the organization needs to preserve cash flow rather than commit to an outright purchase.
Flexible rental from 12 months, main or remote site
A Virtualtek Rental contract from 12 months, on the primary or a remote site — with Grenke Leasing available as an option if a financing arrangement is preferred.

On-Premise Server Rental — Your Questions
Straight answers — tailored to your environment
It means the rented server is delivered and installed on your own site, inside your environment — not hosted in a third-party datacenter. You keep complete access and operational control, your critical data stays in-house, and reaching it does not depend on an external provider or an internet link. You get the flexibility of renting without the dependency of off-site hosting.
For a Virtualtek Rental contract, terms are flexible from a 12-month minimum — typically 12, 36 or 60 months, but adjusted to your actual need. At the end of the term you may, optionally, purchase or renew, scoped to your situation. A Grenke Leasing arrangement follows its own durations and end-of-term conditions as a financing contract. We define the right setup with you.
Every contract includes on-site installation of the hardware, hardware maintenance, Next Business Day (NBD) support, and part replacement in case of failure (NBD). Additional services — a specific SLA beyond NBD, monitoring, configuration, provisioning of virtualization, storage and backup systems, and training — are available and billed separately, scoped to your situation.
Yes. The rented hardware can be deployed on your primary site or on a remote site, depending on your needs. In all cases it is installed in your own environment and integrated into your local network.
Rental directly with Virtualtek is our core model: pure operational rental — a service with no external lessor and no leasing credit file, recorded as an operating expense rather than a financing commitment, and open to the public sector. Leasing through Grenke is the alternative for organizations that specifically want an external financing arrangement; it involves a third-party lessor and a credit assessment, and is treated as a financing commitment in your accounts.
Yes. Public administrations often cannot contract external leasing such as Grenke. Virtualtek's Rental contract is pure operational rental rather than a financing arrangement, so it does not require a leasing credit file — keeping on-premise hardware, with installation, NBD maintenance and flexible terms, accessible to the public sector.
Always. Every server is configured to match your actual workload — there are no fixed packages. We scope the configuration with you before delivery, so the hardware fits the requirement rather than the other way around.
With a hosted rental, the server runs off-site in the provider's facility, your data sits on third-party infrastructure, and access depends on connectivity to that provider. With Virtualtek's on-premise rental, the hardware is installed in your own environment, your data stays in-house, and you keep direct operational control of the system and its integration into your network.
