HP today unveiled the HP Z Workstation series �a reinvention of the product category from the core outward that offers customers unprecedented performance, value and serviceability in a sleek new design.
The HP Z800, HP Z600 and HP Z400 Workstations are the culmination of more than 20 HP design innovations � including a self-checking power supply � and take advantage of the new Intel� Xeon� processor.
HP�s engineering investment in the Z line already is paying off for customers such as Schlumberger, which reports it is realizing step-change performance improvements ranging from 300 to 500 percent on its flagship engineering applications.(1)
�The new Z line marks the first HP workstations to be totally serviceable with your fingers � from the power supply to the motherboard,� said Jim Zafarana, vice president and general manager, Workstations, HP. �Early studies show that an HP Z Workstation may pay for itself in a surprisingly short period with its performance and productivity gains.�
HP workstations are being used by the world�s most demanding power users in industries such as graphic arts, broadcast, computer-aided design (CAD), engineering, medical imaging, finance, and oil and gas exploration. Companies use HP workstations to design everything from running shoes to race cars, animated characters to deep-sea submersibles, and to manage everything from billions of dollars of tradable securities to mission-critical IT environments.
The interior of the Z line offers a totally modular design, in which components slide neatly into place in a cable-less environment for optimal serviceability. On the outside, the Z line features a streamlined brushed-aluminum exterior inspired by automotive and industrial design leader BMW Group DesignworksUSA.
