- Manage risk with resilient architectures and virtualised environments.
Packed with innovation
The IBM System x3650 M3 provides outstanding performance for your mission-critical applications. Its energy-efficient design supports more cores, memory and data capacity in a scalable 2U package that’s easy to service and manage. With more computing power per watt and the latest Intel Xeon processors, you can reduce costs while maintaining speed and availability.
Simplify management and serviceability
The x3650 M3 offers a flexible, scalable design and simple upgrade path to 16 hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs) and 288 GB of memory. Comprehensive systems management tools such as advanced diagnostics, a cable management arm and the ability to control resources from a single point make it easy to deploy, integrate, service and manage.
