Aberdeen's Stirling servers anchor the most robust scope of fully customizable performance tuned and storage dense servers available. With the introduction of the Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series, previously codenamed "Woodcrest," featuring the Intel® Core(TM) microarchitecture, the Stirling line of servers now deliver an unprecedented choice for a custom configured server.

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 series, previously codenamed "Dempsey," brings innovation, a new low price point, lower power consumption and higher performance to the value server market segment. The performance optimized Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 series, based on the Intel Core Microarchitecture, yield another 40% more performance in the same server platform and will only consume a maximum of 65 watts.

"No company can exceed our 5-Year Warranty, and with our improved processor and power consumption choice, Aberdeen continues to ease server deployment concerns and deliver an exceptional performance to value ratio for customers from all IT environments," says Moshe Ovadya, President of Aberdeen. "Intel's new powerfully efficient Intel® Core(TM) microarchitecture delivers industry leading performance and innovative energy saving efficiency."

New advancements to the Aberdeen Stirling server line feature; redundant power chassis, low energy consumption options, SATA II hard drive technology, 65nm fabrication, dual-core processor support up to a 1333Mhz front side bus, and fully-buffered DIMM memory. FB-DIMM memory delivers up to four times the capacity and is critical for creating balanced platforms utilizing multiple cores and the latest technologies, such as virtualization.

"Intel and Aberdeen both work continuously to develop leading-edge solutions for server customers," says Boyd Davis, General Manager, Intel's Server Platforms Group Marketing. "Aberdeen Stirling servers featuring the new Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5100 represent a culmination in that effort to enable more efficiency, responsiveness and dependability. These leading-edge server platforms bring about new advancements in memory, low power processing, I/O, and reliability."

The highly flexible Aberdeen Stirling 128, 226, 328 and 428 servers radically increase performance expectations. For example, the newest generation of Aberdeen Stirling servers ranging from slim-lined 1U servers starting under $2,000, up to our 16TB 6U storage servers deliver up to 60 percent performance improvement over competing x86-based architectures, whilst delivering breakthrough performance per watt scores. Businesses can maximize ROI, minimize downtime and confidently consolidate more applications on proven Intel-based Aberdeen Stirling servers.
