Outstanding performance, affordable price
The IBM System x3455 delivers robust performance in a small package at an affordable price. For scientific, technical and financial applications, the x3455 provides the latest AMD Opteron™ quad-core processors—helping process data more quickly. The x3455 also provides outstanding memory performance with power-efficient DDR II memory and AMD Direct Connect Architecture. And high-performance 3.5" SAS hard disk drives deliver blazing access to data.

Solve problems more quickly
The x3455 addresses traditional high performance computing application bottlenecks with non-traditional, innovative server architecture. IBM Xcelerated Memory Technology™ allows six DIMMs per processor to run at 667 MHz, which means faster access for large memory configurations. As well, IBM eXtended I/O™ technology featuring a choice of I/O slots means greater flexibility for cluster interconnects.
