Performance & Reliability
Aberdeen LLC’s New Stirling 277 Is VMware-Ready &
Ready To Be Seamlessly Integrated Within Virtual Infrastructures
128GB RAM (expandable to 256GB) and
support for up to eight CPUs.
Other notable features of the Stirling 277
include dual onboard RJ45 10GbE ports and
support for PCI-E 3.0. The 10GbE ports are
backward compatible with 1GbE networks
and infrastructure, enabling customers to
utilize their existing network and switches,
and then benefit from 10GbE when they are
ready. Seven available PCI-E 3.0 slots are
built in, providing ample slots to add fiber
storage ports, 10GbE or iSCSI ports. The
Stirling 277 can also utilize SAN storage,
while supporting up to 32TB storage in the
server itself for smaller setups, or to utilize
