Aberdeen Satiates Hunger
Delivering Expandable Storage to Satisfy the SMB Market
Santa Fe Springs, California - Aberdeen releases the next generation of Stirling storage server
solutions with the addition of the 50TB Stirling X881.
The 8U Stirling is set to have its East Coast debut at the HD World
Conference & Exposition in New York on October 15th and will be unveiled
to the West Coast at the HD Expo in Burbank, California on October 29th.
As the ideal for media sharing storage, content backup, streaming media,
near-line storage, and post-production needs, the Stirling X881 can
deliver up to 64 concurrent HD video streams and store over 400 hours of
1080p 10-bit HD video. Aberdeen's bestselling scalable storage deliver
the industry’s most expandable and affordable networked storage.
Small and medium businesses (SMB), whose storage
requirements often mirror those of a larger enterprise, have neither
centralized storage nor big budgets to implement complex IT solutions.
These companies are on the lookout for easy, expandable and
cost-efficient solutions for data storage, as well as simplified storage
management.
Most SMBs are starving for storage capacity large
enough to meet today's needs. In such a scenario, SMBs have a need
for cutting-edge storage solutions and the ability to accommodate
growth without requiring a complete storage solution upgrade later on.
Aberdeen now tailors the completely custom configurable Stirling
expandable storage solutions to meet these requirements. This
emphasis on ease of storage growth potential and simplified network
integration provides the best TB/$ ration in the industry.
“The
Aberdeen Stirling expandable server platform will grow as an
organization’s storage needs multiply,” said Jack Tateel, Executive VP for Aberdeen. “Rather than having to
obsolete an appliance every time you reach existing capacity, with the Stirling you can
easily increase
the storage availability up to nearly 1/2 Petabyte one step at a time. For example, an
organization can purchase a 50TB NAS appliance today and expand to well
over 400TB in 16TB increments as future needs dictate.”
The Stirling storage servers new expansion capability enables customers to increase the
capacity of their storage environment in a simple and flexible manner. With the largest
single platform now available for storing up to 50TB of
network-level data, Aberdeen's Stirling servers can expand via cascading
16TB JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) units up to 128TB. Daisy-chaining XDAS RAID enclosures delivers up to an additional 240TB.
By offering
a full spectrum of scalable, maximum capacity, storage
solutions, the
Stirling expandable storage server line creates a robust storage
environment
and offers substantial growth potential for years to come. Aberdeen delivers high performance, Quad-Core
Intel® Xeon®
servers with enterprise-grade storage via SAS or SATA drives providing
over 800MB/s internal transfer rates. The Aberdeen XDAS-JBOD
enclosures provide easily expandable storage without the need to
purchase additional
controllers. Additionally, the
Aberdeen line of Stirling storage servers
can be configured as Network Attached Storage appliances employing either Linux-based NAS
or Windows-based NAS.
