"We are excited about our new 4x4 server, and feel that the Stirling 444 can maneuver through the toughest of computational terrains", stated Moshe Ovadya, President of Aberdeen.
The award-winning Aberdeen Stirling line of high-performance rackmount servers utilizes the quad socket, quad-core Intel Xeon Processor 7300 Series to combine high performance processor technology, power efficiency and reliability into every customizable server. The multi-processor Stirling 444 is a multi-tasking beast that delivers the best value in multi-processing and delivers optimal performance in clustered environments.
"Intel and Aberdeen both work to deliver high-performance and innovation for server customers", stated Boyd Davis, general manager, Intel's Server Platform Group Marketing. "The Aberdeen Stirling 444 server is a great example, incorporating the industry-leading performance, efficiency and dependability of the new 4-way Quad-Core Xeon processors."
The Stirling 444 is effectively a 16-core supercomputer available to perform highly calculation-intensive tasks such as quantum mechanical physics, weather forecasting, climate research, molecular modelling, flight simulations, AI, graphic rendering and 3D modelling. As for multitasking, the quad-core multi-processor Stirling provides intensive computational power by off-loading certain tasks to specific cores, thus freeing up additional processor resources for other tasks and resulting in improved productivity for universities, military agencies, scientific research laboratories, game development, digital media design, film and video rendering.
The Aberdeen Stirling HPC servers offer quad-core quad-processor support with a 1066Mhz front side bus, low energy consumption, 8MB Cache, up to 192GB of fully-buffered DIMM DDR2 memory, redundant 1200W power supply and SAS storage technology for premium disk drive performance and SATA compatibility for a maximum of 5TB storage capacity. Starting around the $8000, the Stirling 444 provides high-performance 16-core processing and delivers radically increased throughput, capability and reliability.
Features include:
- Multi-Processor Quad-Core Intel Xeon 7300 Series
- Premium high-end computing performance
- Dedicated high-speed interconnects for improved data bandwidth
- Chipset Snoop Filter for reduced chipset traffic
- Fully buffered DIMM Memory
- 192GB capacity
- SAS Hard Drive Support
- 3Gb/s transfer speed - (faster than SCSI)
Aberdeen offers its high performance multi-processor quad-core Intel Xeon based Stirling HPC servers in 1U, 2U and 4U rackmount sizes. The Stirling 144 is a space saving, cluster friendly 1U rack-dense server while the Stirling 244 2U offers up to 6TB of storage capacity. All models are currently shipping with worldwide availability. Aberdeen can custom configure any server to meet even the most stringent requirements. Aberdeen has a media recognized, industry leading 5-year limited warranty as well as a free 10-day trial assessment programme with all of its branded server solutions. |
