Today, HP Inc. unveiled new additions to the Z by HP portfolio,
built for professional creators and power users who need
performance, reliability, broad hardware expandability, and the
versatility to get the job done in any work environment.
More than ever, today’s workforce needs the right technology and
tools to be productive, connected, and collaborative, whether
working from home, in the office, or somewhere in between. As 80%
of professional creators and power users want to continue working
from home either full or part-time12 even after offices reopen,
flexibility in how and where they work is critical. Additionally,
40% of workers need to move around the home for meetings during the
day13, reimagining the idea of office mobility. HP is adapting its
technology to meet the needs of the mobile workforce by
incorporating powerhouse performance into dense form factors with
ZCentral 4R, Z2 Mini, and ZBook Fury, and including “beyond the
box” innovations for anyone from IT decision makers to architects
and data scientists.
“Professional creators and power users need a curated experience
that aligns to the way they work and live in today’s new normal,”
said Jim Nottingham, general manager and global head, Advanced
Compute and Solutions, HP Inc. “Our Z portfolio delivers the
mobility, performance, and flexibility the creative community wants
with innovative solutions like ZCentral 4R, designed to ensure
access to the cutting-edge technology and security solutions needed
to power the next creative breakthrough.”
ZCentral 4R: Designed for Remote Performance and
Expansion
HP introduced ZCentral 4R, the
world’s most powerful 1U racked workstation for media and
entertainment, product development, data science, and healthcare.
ZCentral 4R is engineered to harness the power of a Z4 workstation
in a 1U form factor and designed for high density in racked
environments. Equipped with the latest Intel Xeon® W Processors (up
to 18 CPU cores) and graphics options up to the NVIDIA® Quadro®
RTX™ 8000, remote workers get professional-grade performance built
for intense workloads. ZCentral 4R also provides layers of security
with an exterior lockable front panel, HP Security Suite preloaded
inside the box, all while physically secure in a racked data
closet.
HP ZCentral is the world’s first single sourced
remote workstation solution14 and with the addition of ZCentral 4R,
enables workers to better create, connect, and collaborate
seamlessly from remote locations. New updates to the solution help
address two top IT challenges: managing multiple remote devices at
once and the increased security risk from more remote endpoint
devices.
Latest updates and features include:
- ZCentral Connect16 gives IT departments
flexibility to work remotely and still easily manage user
connections and share the centrally located workstation power.
ZCentral Connect offers increased security to prevent unmanaged
connections, real-time workstation hardware health status, and the
ability to activate LED locators, saving time for IT managers who
deploy ZCentral.
- ZCentral Remote Boost17 brings improved
digital inking tools with a preview of an enhanced Wacom display
and tablet18 experience. This enables artists, designers, and
engineers a natural inking input from anywhere19 as if local to the
machine.
- ZCentral paired with HPs Device as a Service
provides more custom configuration and service options. With GPU
analytics via HP TechPulse, this solution offers valuable data on
the hardware, software, and security. IT departments can now make
more informed decisions on how to manage their fleet and provides
flexible, custom-tailored offerings, with simplified purchasing,
delivery, and deployment.
Z2 G5 Desktops: Going Beyond the Box
The new entry Z by HP desktop portfolio is built for today’s
designers who are shaping the world around us. HP’s new powerful
entry workstations, HP Z2 Mini G5, HP Z2
Small Form Factor G5, and HP Z2 Tower G5,
take the latest processing power to another level, offering
performance previously only available in high-end desktop
workstations, and at an accessible price for any power user. The
new Z2 lineup brings performance gains, higher wattage power
supplies for max configurability, and market leading expandability.
It’s now easier to build the ideal, ergonomic friendly, home office
set-up that is purpose-built with well-being in mind.
HP Z2 Mini is the world’s most powerful mini
workstation for creators using Adobe Creative Suite20 and the
world’s highest performing mini workstation for running SolidWorks
and Autodesk applications21. The Z2 Mini is redesigned with new
thermals using copper to deliver 1.4X CPU22 performance and 3X
better GPU performance23 than its predecessor. Creators can now
confidently tackle complex workloads like rendering photo-realistic
3D models with full performance and whisper-quiet acoustics. A Z2
Mini combined with a Z display not only offers price-to-performance
value than a comparable commercial solution24, but it also provides
a full home office set-up and the ability to collaborate by racking
the Z2 Mini or simply sharing the power to co-create remotely via
ZCentral Remote Boost.
The Z2 Small Form Factor and the Z2
Tower bring high performance compute capabilities and
increased expandability in smaller footprints. The Z2 Small Form
Factor features up to Intel® Xeon® W processors and NVIDIA Quadro
3000 graphics to deliver outstanding performance, and features,
including accelerated ray tracing and AI, in a chassis that is 19%
smaller than previous generation. The Z2 Tower is considered the
benchmark in entry-level workstation power for professional
creators. With the Z2 Tower, users can now run multi-threaded
applications while multitasking with the help of NVIDIA Quadro RTX
6000 graphics and Intel® Xeon® in a sleek 15% smaller chassis than
the previous generation.
Z Book: Unthrottled Performance25 Just Got
Smaller
In the past, content creators had to choose between performance
and mobility. Today’s power users seek greater performance,
reliability, and lightweight and thin designs that are durable and
easy to use when moving around the house, with long battery life
for the work anywhere lifestyle. Now with ZBook Fury and ZBook
Power, content creators and data scientists get the performance
needed with full expandability in a more portable size.
The ZBook Fury gives users uncompromised
desktop-level performance26 from the home office to the kitchen
table. The ZBook Fury 15 is now 12% smaller than the previous
generation and the ZBook Fury 17 is 29% smaller this year, making
it the world’s smallest 17-inch mobile workstation with RTX 500027.
With NVIDIA professional graphics up to Quadro RTX 5000 or AMD
Radeon™ Pro and RX graphics, ZBook Fury brings industry leading
workstation performance for any visualization – from data science
to machine learning to 3D rendering applications – while
multitasking.
Engineered with the Z VaporForce thermal solution, peak
performance can be achieved as users simultaneously use both the
CPU and GPU. This new ability in the ZBook Fury is important for
multiple photo and video workflows and when engineers, architects,
designers, and creatives use multiple applications. For
color-critical workflows, next-gen Dream Color accurately
represents content on-screen with factory calibration for easy
out-of-box experience. PANTONE Validated™ displays meet the color
expert’s fidelity criteria31 in the simulation of the full range of
real-world PANTONE® Colors, meaning creatives can design with
confidence.
The ZBook Power, HP’s most
affordable mobile workstation, makes the power of the ZBook more
accessible and ideal for STEAM students. The mobile workstation
offers fast performance and improved thermals allowing for up to
NVIDIA Quadro® T2000 graphics and Intel® Xeon® or Core i9
processors in a chassis that is now 19% smaller, 11% thinner, and
nearly 10% lighter than previous generation.
Data Science Software: Accelerating Predictive
Modeling
On select Z products HP will be adding factory installation
options for Canonical Ubuntu Linux and pre-loads of the most
popular data science developer and execution tools. With this
option data scientists and students of data science can be
productive on day one, right out of the box.
Sustainability: Leading the Way
With an unwavering commitment to the environment, HP is proud to
offer the world’s most sustainable PC portfolio29. HP uses 100%
renewable electricity to power the final assembly of 67% of its PC
and display products worldwide30. Z by HP continues to add
sustainable products that incorporate ocean-bound plastics,
recycled materials, and is innovating in every aspect from
packaging to energy efficiency.
