Lenovo Press Product Guide

The System x3755 M3 is a four-socket AMD Opteron processor-based server that is optimized for 

outstanding density and cost. It provides flexibility and scalability while offering multiple levels of 

price/performance. With features such as high performance AMD Opteron 6300 series processors, up to 

32 available DIMM sockets with up to 512 GB of memory , and robust I/O, the System x3755 M3 provides 

four-socket performance at an entry-level price.

The x3755 M3 is an ideal server for business workloads including database, virtualization, Java, and 

enterprise applications such as ERP. The increased processor density helps reduce networking 

complexity and cost for high-performance computing environments, and the available 32 TB of internal 

storage facilitates data-intensive applications like business intelligence.

Figure 1 shows the System x3755 M3.
