Highlights
- The industry’s only AMD Opteron processor-based system capable of a three-processor configuration, delivering outstanding performance for lower cost
- Outstanding leadership with IBM Xcelerated Memory Technology
- Deliver superb performance per watt with this cost-effective solution.
When is three>four?
The IBM System x3755 provides unmatched price, performance and energy efficiency with three six-core AMD Opteron processors and IBM’s exclusive central processing unit (CPU) Pass Thru card. This innovative card delivers near-linear performance and flexible configurations with headroom to grow in one-CPU increments – providing real savings while increasing performance.
Fully populated memory, full speed, full time
The x3755, using IBM’s exclusive Xcelerated Memory Technology, is the only AMD Opteron processor-based four-socket server capable of running fully populated memory at the maximum 667 MHz. Competitive systems are forced to clock memory speed back to 533 MHz with fully populated Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs).1,2 The x3755 provides outstanding memory price performance for general purpose computing environments, mission-critical business applications and virtualised environments.
Easy to use
Features such as the pull-down light path diagnostics panel and IBM Predictive Failure Analysis allow quick and easy identification of component failures, helping to maximise uptime. With light path diagnostics for major components such as hard disk drives (HDDs), memory and CPU, along with fans, voltage regulator modules and power supplies, the x3755 delivers a full set of alerts to help keep your system running at maximum efficiency.
