Designed for maximum performance and scalability with applications including database, e-mail servers, storage servers and virtualisation. Clarendon SP252 combines Intel server technologies to create a more reliable, more efficient, more available, and easier to service IT platform.These innovative technologies are seamlessly integrated into the SP252 to complement the capabilities of the latest generation Intel® Xeon® processor and chipset. The standalone pedestal chassis allows this workplace friendly server to operate unobtrusively in an open plan small business environment with a choice of fixed or hot-swap hard drives.

The Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series automatically regulates power consumption and intelligently adjusts server performance according to application demand, maximizing both energy cost savings and performance. Based on new 32nm Intel® microarchitecture, the 5600 series reduces energy cost over single-core servers by automatically shifting the CPU and memory into the lowest available power state, while intelligently adjusting performance to application needs. The series includes both 4 core and six core models offering a wide range of performance and allowing processors to be matched to budget.

Intel® Active Airflow Control Operates chassis fans at the minimum speed required to cool the system, resulting in lower power consumption and acoustic noise.

Intel RAID Technologies A choice of software and hardware RAID solutions to ensure data security.

Intel® Server Management Allows increased IT efficiency with a combination of hardware and software products that stream line the management and deployment of servers plus the convenience of full remote support.
