The Aberdeen Stirling X888 storage server can deliver 48TB
(up to 100TB with 2TB drives) of pure SATA storage and expand to a storage capacity well beyond 1 Petabyte.
This behemoth Stirling X888 expandable storage solution can provide 1 Petabyte of additional network capacity by utilizing the
Aberdeen XDAS expansion enclosures.
With the continued storage file explosion and the need for high-volume scalable capacity, choosing the correct storage solution strategy hinges upon having the storage scalability to grow seamlessly from 1 Terabyte to 1 Petabyte.
The Stirling X888 features Intel Microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem, featuring Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which increases performance by increasing processor frequency and enabling faster speeds when conditions allow. (This feature is supported on most Xeon 5520 and higher.)
The custom configurable Stirling X888 rackmount server features the Intel 5520 (Tylersberg-EP) chipset and utilizes Intel® QuickPath Interconnect Technology enabled Intel Xeon 5500 Series (Gainestown) processors which can achieve 6.4 GT/s and 4.8 GT/s data transfer speeds.
