Product Description
The IBM® System x3755 provides unmatched price, performance and energy efficiency with two six-core AMD Opteron processors and IBM's exclusive 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. 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 DIMMs. The x3755 provides outstanding memory price performance for general purpose computing environments, mission-critical business applications and virtualized environments. 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 maximize uptime. With light path diagnostics for major components such as hard disk drives, 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.
