Highlights
- Meet growing workload demands with cost-effective processor and memory scaling
- Delivers value, performance and memory for midsized workloads
- Realize the benefits of four-socket architecture in a slim 2U server
The scalability to meet growing demands
The IBM System x3755 M3 is a four-socket server that provides outstanding performance and capacity in a data center-friendly 2U footprint. Based on the 8- or 12-core AMD Opteron 6000 Series platform, the x3755 M3 helps organizations scale as workload demands increase, accommodating up to 48 processor cores and 512 GB of memory for cost-effective scaling.
The right size for midsized workloads
The x3755 M3 is an ideal server for business workloads including database, virtualization, Java™, and enterprise applications such as ERP. The increased processor density helps reduce networking complexity and cost for high-performance computing environments, and the available 16 TB of internal storage facilitates data-intensive applications like business intelligence.
