Outstanding performance and capacity in a small
footprint
The scalability to meet growing demands
Highlights The IBM System x3755 M3 is a four-socket server that provides out-
standing performance and capacity in a slim 2U design. Based on the
● Meet growing workload demands with
cost-effective processor and memory 8- or 12-core AMD Opteron 6000 Series platform, the x3755 M3
scaling helps organizations scale as workload demands increase, accommodat-
ing up to 48 processor cores and providing 32 DIMM slots for cost-
● Delivers value, performance and
memory for midsized workloads effective memory scaling.
● Realize the benefits of four-socket
architecture in a slim 2U server The right size for midsized workloads
The x3755 M3 is an ideal server for midsized workloads, including
Java™ workloads, databases, virtualization workloads, and enterprise
applications such as ERP. The increased processor density helps reduce
networking complexity and cost for high-performance computing
workloads, and the available 16 TB of internal storage facilitates
data-intensive workloads like business intelligence.
A solution for your growing workloads
Offering flexible configuration options, the x3755 M3 is a natural
choice for two-socket workloads that are outgrowing the performance
and capacity available on their legacy servers. The x3755 M3 helps
IT organizations bridge the gap between two-socket and four-socket
servers by providing a high-performance four-socket option in a 2U
design.
With features for reliability and serviceability, backed by IBM world-
wide service and support, the x3755 M3 offers a powerful solution for
addressing today’s demanding workloads.
