8 times the sum of the divisors of n.
a(n) is also the total number of horizontal rhombuses in the terraces of the n-th level of an irregular stepped pyramid (starting from the top) in which the structure of every 45-degree three-dimensional sector arises after the 45-degree zig-zag folding of every row of the diagram of the isosceles triangle A237593. The top of the pyramid is an eight-pointed star formed by eight rhombuses (see Links section).

FORMULA
Dirichlet g.f.: 8*zeta(s-1)*zeta(s). (After Ilya Gutkovskiy)
Conjecture: a(n) = sigma(7*n) = A283078(n) iff n is not a multiple of 7.
Conjecture is true, since sigma is multiplicative, so if (7,n) = 1 then sigma(7*n) = sigma(7)*sigma(n) = 8*sigma(n). - Charlie Neder, Oct 02 2018
