Outstanding price/performance for mid-size workloads

Suggested Uses: Businesses requiring a rack-optimized compute-dense server for business

intelligence, midsized databases or virtualization, ERP, HPC, and the like.

The challenge today is to squeeze as much performance out of your IT dollars as possible, while

saving cost on features not needed. The four-socket, IBM

System x3755 M3, incorporating

IBM X-Architecture

™

features, meets that challenge. It was designed to eliminate system

architecture bottlenecks through the use of separate, high-speed links between the processors,

main memory and I/O. It is well suited for application workloads that benefit from a 4-processor

system with outstanding price/performance, offering high compute density, large memory

capacity, and high I/O throughput, all in a small rack footprint. Up to 21 x3755 M3 servers can be

installed in a single 42U rack, offering the compute density of up to 84 processors (1008

processing cores) per rack.

The x3755 M3 supports the latest 12- and 8-core AMD Opteron 6100 series processors with

DirectConnect Architecture and HyperTransport technology, to offer impressive computing power

in a 2U rack-optimized design. This server offers up to 48 processor cores, high memory

bandwidth, and high floating-point performance at an affordable price. The x3755 M3 offers

up to 512GB

of industry-standard 1333MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600) memory with Chipkill

™

ECC

(Error Checking and Correcting) protection—for high performance and reliability. For even higher

levels of availability, the x3755 M3 also offers online memory sparing. Two dual-port

integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers are standard—offering TOE (TCP offload engine), iSCSI,

and RDMA support, load-balancing and failover capabilities, along with four high-performance

PCIe Gen 2 adapter slots.

All models offer support for either two or four processors and a choice of high-performance

hard disk drives with an internal storage capacity of up to 16TB

(eight 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS

or SATA HDDs). In addition, up to 12TB (six 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA drives) is supported

via the configure-to-order (CTO) process. The integrated ServeRAID

™

SAS (Serial Attach

SCSI)/SATA (Serial-attach ATA) controller provides hardware-based RAID-0/1/10 or RAID-

0/1/10/5/50 support standard (model-specific). Additional RAID support is available via upgrade.

Standard in the x3755 M3 is an integrated Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC) that

enables the user to manage and control the server easily—both locally and remotely. This high

level of manageability is designed to keep costs down and the system up. A pop-out/drop-down

light path diagnostics panel enables quick servicing of the system if a problem develops.

These advanced features help maximize network availability by increasing uptime, as do

integrated RAID; temperature-controlled fans; IPMI 2.0 support, including highly secure

remote power control and Serial over LAN; as well as text-console redirect over LAN.

Another improvement in the new generation of X-Architecture is the replacement of legacy BIOS

with a new generation Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). UEFI provides a more

intuitive user interface and understandable event logs and better management.

With the inclusion of unique IBM service and support features such as IBM Active Memory

™

, the

iBMC, UEFI, light path diagnostics, IBM Systems Director, IBM ServerGuide

™

, and others, the

x3755 M3 is designed for maximum uptime.

If you need highly manageable, quad-socket/multi-core price/performer in a rack-dense 2U

package, the x3755 M3 is the ideal system.

Selling Features

Price/Performance

The x3755 M3 offers numerous features to boost performance and reduce product and operating

costs:

Maximum memory and disk capacity may require the replacement of standard components with the largest supported component

available. 512GB capacity using 16GB DIMMs requires a 4-processor system in order to use all 64 sockets. In a two-processor

configuration, only 16 total DIMM sockets are available; thus a two-processor system is limited to 256GB of RAM (16 x 16GB).

GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes when referring to hard disk drive capacity. Accessible capacity may be less.
