HP unveiled workstation offerings that include the first small form factor workstation to be available in every region of the world, multicore processor updates to its Z Workstation series and a mobile workstation with DreamColor display technology.
Adding to the award-winning HP Z Workstation series, the HP Z200 SFF Workstation delivers workstation performance and reliability in a sleek, ultra compact and affordable package, and is a great choice for space-constrained environments including the health care, engineering, education, financial and original equipment manufacturer markets.
The HP Z200 SFF breaks new ground with a space-saving design. Tapping the power of Intel’s newest technologies, the HP Z200 SFF offers dual-core processor options based on the new Intel series, as well as quad-core processor options based on the enterprise-class. The HP Z200 SFF is designed for ease of use and serviceability – with a tool-less chassis and convenient USB ports located on the front of the system.
The new six-core, 32nm Intel® Xeon® 5600 series processors are now available on HP Z800, Z600 and Z400 workstations, which deliver greater parallel processing performance. The new processors allow for up to 24 threads to run at one time when using two 6-core processors with Hyper-Threading turned on.
HP workstations are 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 deep-sea submersibles, and to manage everything from billions of dollars of tradable securities to mission-critical IT environments.
The HP EliteBook 8740w Mobile Workstation features a 17-inch diagonal display, a range of Intel processors including Core i7 Extreme Edition, and support for up to 16 GB of memory, the 8740w can meet the needs of the most demanding applications. The inclusion of USB 3.0 provides increased bandwidth and performance, while the DreamColor display option enables professionals to work with deep, accurate colours for precise results every time.
The HP mobile display assistant and optional HP colour calibration kit further allow control, adjustment and alignment of the DreamColor notebook display to ensure predictable colour. Workstation-class graphics solutions maximize onscreen performance. The 8540w and 8740w are engineered to meet the tough military-standard tests for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude, and high and low temperatures,
HP Performance Advisor software – preinstalled on HP workstations – automatically tunes the workstation, finding and installing the proper drivers and configuring the system to optimal settings based on a user’s workflow. This type of tuning can result in significantly improved performance along with system and software stability that adds up to an improved return on investment.
