HP has released its latest line of workstations, called the 'Z' Series. The company says they are the best in design and performance, based on Intel's Xeon processor platform.
The new line includes the HP Z800, the HP Z600 and the entry-level HP Z400 devices.
Jim Zafarana, VP and GM for HP's Workstation global business unit, said the Z Series workstations are the culmination of more than 20 HP design innovations. This includes a self-checking power supply, which takes advantage of the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with integrated memory controllers and Intel Turbo Boost technology.
“These new workstations will give an unprecedented experience to the super power user to revolutionise on innovation, as well as experience a superior return on investment,” Zafarana added.
Charl Snyman, VP for PSG HP EMEA, said: “Early studies already show that an HP Z workstation may pay for itself in a surprisingly short period of time, as a result of its performance and productivity outputs.”
The design of the Z workstations was left to BMW Group DesignworksUSA, after a user assessment and study showed the need for a sleeker design, ease of service and better power consumption. It is now up to 89% power efficient in hibernation mode, with the HP-exclusive WattSaver feature.
“There is no need for any screwdrivers or other tools to make changes, except if you need to repair changes to electrical cables underneath the motherboard. I, however, can't recall in my history at HP any time where repairs to cabling had to be done, so in effect, you will almost never need to use any tools with the Z workstations,” said Terry Pilsner, VP for R&D, HP PSG's Workstation global business unit.
The new HP Z Series workstations will be available globally from 6 April and EMEA pricing starts at EUR1 700 for the HP Z800 Workstation; EUR1 400 for the Z600; and EUR1 000 for the Z400.
