HP today announced the HP Z8 G4, the most powerful workstation on
the planet1 and security features that denote HP as having the
world’s most secure and manageable desktop workstations2.
The reinvention of HP’s most powerful desktop PCs meets the
compute power needs demanded by the world’s inventors of change,
including product designers, architects, digital creators,
scientists, educators, healthcare workers, financial traders and
others. The HP Z8, Z6 and Z4 Desktop Workstations are equipped with
extreme power, unprecedented security2 and innovative design,
future-proofed to support the fast growing fields of virtual
reality, machine learning and advanced design.
IT managers in today’s world must make security a top priority.
HP’s new powerhouse portfolio includes the industry’s most
comprehensive set of security features2 including HP SureStart (the
industry's first self-healing BIOS with intrusion detection), the
HP Client Security Suite and more. With the highest security levels
in the history of the HP Z Workstations business, this generation
performs with extreme power and protects intellectual assets.
“The stakes for world-class security have never been higher or
more important for workstations,” said Xavier Garcia, vice
president and general manager, HP Z Workstations, HP Inc.
“Workstation users create the most valuable IP for a company and HP
is meeting the security needs with the world’s most secure and
manageable desktop and mobile workstations. As the most powerful
desktop workstation in the world, the HP Z8 Workstation can deliver
the extreme power and the security demanded by our customers.”
HP’s New Desktop Workstations
Every inch of the new tower workstations was intentionally and
thoughtfully re-designed to deliver superb power, style and the
inspiration desired by the inventors of change. The ID was
completely updated to incorporate advanced manufacturing techniques
and materials, and represent the power of the machines, their users
and the work that’s completed by creatives.
The new workstations incorporate Thunderbolt™ 3 (optional) and
Dual 1GbE Ports (standard) to support the high bandwidth data
transfer demanded by current and future users, as well as Microsoft
Windows 76 support for legacy workflows. Each of them offers
modular front IO with USB 3.1 G2 Type C™ ports. The Z8 and Z6
models each support up to dual CPUs, and an optional dual 10 GbE
network module for high speed networking at half the cost of
current HP Workstations, and without consuming a precious PCIe
expansion slot.
The HP Z8 G4 Workstation delivers top-of-the-line power to fuel
those who reimagine the design of everything from race cars to
rockets. As the most powerful desktop workstation on the planet1,
the HP Z8 Workstation has the capability to run the most complex
simulations and process massive amounts of data. Users can run 3D
simulations and edit 8K video in real time with up to 56 processing
cores and up to 3 TB of main memory, 3x the capacity of its
predecessor4. Certified for serious software, such as ANSYS or
After Effects5, users can deliver creative work in less time.
HP’s flagship workstation has an all new ID with inventive
ducting that routes fresh air to the second CPU, rather than
recycling warm air expelled from the ducting on the first CPU and
state-of-the-art design from world-class computer architecture
experts.
A split chassis architecture enables rear access to the hefty
1700 W power supply with a locking mechanism, 24 DIMMs, and a total
of 9 PCIe slots (7 full length, full height PCIe slots and two
internal PCIe “personality” slots) to bring this coveted machine to
life for specialized workflows. The HP Z8 Tower has 67 percent more
memory bandwidth, 27 percent greater processor core count capacity,
40 percent greater PCIe I/O bandwidth and 29 percent greater power
supply capability – as compared to the Z840 – for customers running
the most demanding workloads.
The HP Z6 G4 Workstation is designed with the ever-changing
needs of VFX artists in mind. Supporting the latest professional
graphics, 384 GB of system memory, and dual M.2 slots for HP Z
Turbo Drive PCIe SSDs users can experience seamless performance in
visual effects and design visualization workloads.
A future-proof powerhouse, the HP Z6 Workstation also delivers a
highly-modular design experience with options like a second
processor and memory riser solution so users can quickly and simply
double their compute capabilities. The HP Z6 Workstation has
up to 1.5x the amount of total system memory, 67 percent more
memory bandwidth, 27 percent greater processor core count capacity
and 22 percent greater PCIe I/O bandwidth for customers refreshing
from the Z640.
The HP Z4 G4 Workstation is the next generation of HP’s
best-selling workstation and redesigned from top to bottom. The
system is ahead of its time with more standard features and
delivering performance upgrade options never before available in an
HP single-processor workstation. Users across a broad range of
markets can choose the ideal configuration to meet performance
requirements. With the impressive new Intel® Xeon® processor W
family, users from CAD to simulation will see extraordinary
application performance scaling, giving them the ability to
visualize ideas anytime during the design process. The HP Z4
Workstation also features major design improvements for tomorrow’s
office environment with a sleek and modern industrial design
including ergonomic front and rear handles, a dramatically smaller
chassis for cramped workspaces and a new dust filter option for
industrial environments.
The HP Z4 Workstation, a great solution for embedded
applications, unleashes new levels of IO bandwidth with dual 1GbE
networking and dual M.2 slots for HP Z Turbo Drive PCIe SSDs
standard, and the ability to easily upgrade the front USB to
include two USB 3.1 G2 Type C™ ports. The HP Z4 Workstation has 11
percent more memory bandwidth, 25 percent greater processor core
count capacity and 13 percent greater PCIe I/O bandwidth for
customers refreshing from the Z440.
New HP Z Displays Include a Stunning 38” Diagonal Curved
Display
HP also announced seven new HP Z displays. HP Z Displays are
designed for the most discerning customers that value amazing
visual experiences, out-of-the-box calibration and best-in-class
reliability.
Users can completely immerse themselves in the expansive
elegance of the HP Z38c Curved Display. This display features a
seamless workspace without the distracting center bezel of dual
display setups and has a large 37.5-inch diagonal curve with a 2300
mm radius and a wide 21:9 aspect ratio. The HP Z38c has a
crystal-clear 4K screen, 3840x1600 resolution5 display with
optimized pixel density so icons and text are the ideal sizes,
allowing users to spend less time panning and zooming and more time
creating.
The HP Z38c joins six additional impressive HP Z Displays
ranging in sizes from 21.5-inch thru 27-inch diagonal. Like all HP
Z Displays, each model delivers a customer insights-based feature
set to optimize the end users workflow. Users will appreciate the
virtually borderless screens for maximum impact imagery, factory
color calibration to ensure optimal color accuracy and flexible
connectivity for all devices.
