The increased standard RAM will assist your students directly by ensuring all applications are running at optimum performance. Cliftons have also increased the standard memory of all room servers to 4GB and also offer new high end servers with multi-core Intel® Xeon processors, raid sets and redundant power supplies to cater for those times when server performance and reliability is paramount.
