Aberdeen's newest lines of storage servers have many advantages over our previous line. Common features include: (a) PCIE 3.0 for twice the available expansion slot bandwidth. (b) IPMI with dedicated LAN port and KVM over LAN for remote server management. (c) High-efficiency redundant power supplies. (d) Hardware RAID with BBU. (e) JBOD expansion without adding an additional controller. (f) The convenience of tool-less mounting rails. The Stirling X86 is an 8U dual-sided storage server that features 64 (48 front and 16 rear) hot-swap hard drive bays for data storage and 2 additional rear bays for the OS drives. The X86 is part of the first generation of Aberdeen Stirling X Storage servers to feature Intel E5 2600 Series Xeon processors based on exciting new Sandy Bridge architecture. With support for up to 512GB of DDR3 memory, dual 10GbE LAN ports and three free PCI Express 3.0 expansion slots, the X86 has plenty of room to grow into your ultimate storage server.
