IBM System x3630 M3

IBM System x at-a-glance guide

The IBM® System x3630 M3 is a storage-rich dual-socket 2U server that integrates the leadership

features of traditional enterprise server offerings with affordable components to deliver outstanding value

to cost-conscious buyers. Based on the Intel Xeon 5600 processor technology, the x3630 M3 offers high

performance and maximum storage capacity. It provides up to 28 TB of internal storage capacity for a

much lower cost per terabyte than external storage, making it an ideal solution for storage-intensive

workloads.

The x3630 M3 helps keep your business running smoothly with availability features that include

redundant cooling fan modules and hot-swap/redundant power supplies, RAID protection, and predictive

failure analysis. The x3630 M3 also offers a comprehensive suite of systems management tools that help

simplify management tasks.

Did you know

The x3630 M3 is the best choice to maximize internal storage. With support for up to twenty-eight 2.5-inch

hot-swap SAS or SATA disk drives, the server can house up to 28 TB of local storage. In addition,

comprehensive systems management tools such as the built-in integrated management module, light

path diagnostics, Predictive Failure Analysis, and support for IBM Systems Director make it easy to

deploy, integrate, service, and manage the server.
