Aberdeen x70 Series
Stirling Servers Feature Dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 Processors To Improve Data Center Applications
A performance boost, no matter how small, is always a good thing. A performance boost
reaching up to 80%, however, is a major step up. Aberdeen’s dual-socket x70Series Stirling Servers open the door to such a performance gain by including
the new Intel® Xeon® Processsor E5-2600 series, which is built on the
Sandy Bridge-EP core design and part of the Romley platform when paired with
the new Intel C602 (Patsburg) chipset.
Based on Intel’s 32nm
manufacturing technology, the Xeon E5-2600 processors offer more cores, cache,
and memory capacity, as well as bigger, faster communication pathways, Intel
says. The Xeon E5-2600 processors can help companies meet the demand for
efficient, secure, and high-performing data center infrastructure by offering
unparalleled, balanced performance across compute, storage, and network
environments, Intel says.
A Boost For Data Centers
Aberdeen offers the
Xeon E5-2600 processors in dual-socket (Dual LGA2011 Socket R) configurations
in eight base models within the x70 Series Stirling Server family in 1U
Mainstream, 1U Advanced, 2U Mainstream, 2U Advanced, and 4U Mainstream options.
The base 4U Mainstream configuration, for example, provides an AberdeenStirling 470 server with dual 2GHz Xeon E5-2650 processors, 16GB of
DDR3-1600MHz memory (up to 256GB), two 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar 7200rpm drives (up
to eight drives supported), an LSI 9261 SAS2 controller, and a SuperServer
7047R-TRF server kit. The 171-178 and 179 have redundant 80 Gold level power
efficiency certified power supplies in a 1U, while the 278 can have up to 24
2.5-inch drives. All x70 Series Stirling models can be customized with add-on
cards, backplanes, storage, and other features.
The Xeon E5-2600 series
has 17 parts supporting up to eight cores per processor and up to 768GB of
system memory (quad-channel DDR3 up to 1600MHz). The Xeon E5-2600 processors
provide up to an 80% increase in performance compared to previous Xeon
5600-series processors. They also include new Intel Integrated I/O technology
with PCI Express 3.0 support built in. Intel says the addition can triple the
rate of data flows coming in and out of the processor, reducing latency by up
to 30%. Support for Intel DDIO (Data Direct I/O) technology enables Intel
Ethernet controllers and adapters to route I/O traffic straight to processor
cache.
The processors include
support for Intel AVX (Advanced Vector Extension), technology. Also noteworthy
is the Xeon E5-2600’s ability to improve energy efficiency by more than 50% vs.
the Xeon 5600 series processors, a boon to data centers seeking to gain added
performance while reducing power consumption and operating costs. Intel says
the new age of “intelligent performance” that the Xeon E5-2600 processors are
introducing will result in best-in-class support for virtualization,
consolidation, and cloud computing.
Guaranteed Excellence
Beyond the x70 Series
Stirling Server models, Aberdeen has been producing general-purpose and storage
servers since 1991, placing a strong emphasis on providing customers
customization options and high performance offered at competitive prices. In
addition to customized servers ranging from 1U to 8U form factors, the company
also sells barebones server configurations.
Aberdeen covers every
fully configured rackmount server with a five-year-warranty that guarantees the
server to be free of material defects for five years. Aberdeen also warranties
each server to be free of workmanship defects for the server’s lifetime. Other
customer-tailored programs include an Internet-based leasing program and a
CARES (Custom Assembled Rackmount Evaluation Service) program, which provides
qualified customers with a server that’s configured to their needs that they
can use for a free 30-day assessment period with no obligations.
