Name£ºIBM System x3755 M3
   Details
Overview
 
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 slim 2U design. 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 providing 32 DIMM slots for cost-effective memory scaling.
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.
