HP has announced a major renewal of its catalog of high-performance desktop workstations, a line that, as many of our readers will know, is grouped under the well-known Z by HP brand. This brand is synonymous with performance, but also with versatility, safety and stability.
The new Z by HP workstations have maintained all these values, and have managed to raise the bar in terms of power thanks to the integration of the new Intel Xeon W-2400 and W-3400 processorsand the use of the new professional graphics solutions NVIDIA RTX Ada Lovelace. This has also allowed HP to shape a near-perfect CPU-GPU balance, has opened the doors to the arrival of new standards that are essential in high-performance computing, such as DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5 connectivity.
The new Z by HP workstations are, therefore, state-of-the-art solutions that offer all the power we will need to cope with any workload without problemsranging from rendering, content creation and video editing to much more complex and demanding ones, such as scientific simulations, artificial intelligence, deep learning and inference, and also data science.
There is no doubt that power is important, but Security and efficient remote fleet management is also key for many companies. Recognizing this reality, HP has also introduced HP Anyware, software that gives IT administrators full control from a single pane of glass. This will allow them to start a kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) session, perform out-of-band management tasks including pre-boot access, BIOS updates, and install an image from anywhere.
With this interface it will be possible to manage a fleet of devices in a much simpler, safer and more efficient way, since it will also allow them to securely access system information, including model numbers and BIOS versions, receive reports and develop different perspectives. to optimize your infrastructure and solve problems before they affect your users. It goes without saying that, thanks to this, it will be possible minimize interruptions and problems that can affect productivity in the workplace.
Z by HP Workstations: Top Features and Availability
- HP Z4 G5: it is the entry model and we can certainly consider it as a balanced workstation that offers a solid value with different workloads. It is ideal for carrying out simulations, content creation, 3D rendering, design and video editing. We can configure it with processors with up to 24 cores and 48 threads, it supports two next-generation NVIDIA RTX graphics cards working simultaneously, supports up to 512 GB of DDR5 memory, and uses the PCIe Gen5 standard.
- • HP Z6 G5: a model that positions itself above the previous one and is therefore capable of offering a higher level of performance. It can be configured with Intel Core Xeon W-3400 processors with up to 36 cores and 72 threads, supports up to three high-end NVIDIA graphics cards, supports up to 1TB of DDR5 memory, and uses the PCIe Gen5 standard.
- HP Z8 G5: here we have already made the leap to the high-end of the Z by HP series. This model is very powerful and versatile, since it uses a double socket configuration that allows us to reach a maximum configuration of 64 cores and 128 threads. It allows us to mount up to two next-generation and high-end NVIDIA graphics cards, supports up to 1 TB of DDR5 and uses the PCIe Gen5 standard.
- Z8 Fury G5: we reached the top of the Z by HP series. It is a recommended choice for highly demanding workloads such as advanced computing and simulation, AI, deep learning, scientific simulations, and data science. It can be configured with a CPU of up to 56 cores and 112 threads, supports up to four next-generation NVIDIA graphics cards, supports a maximum of 2TB of DDR5 memory, and uses the PCIe Gen5 standard.
HP has confirmed that these new workstations They are already available for pre-purchase. We can find more information and make the pre-purchase through the HP official websitealthough we still do not know the official sales prices in Spain for each configuration.
For its part, HP Anyware will hit the market in springso we won’t have to wait long to start having access to this important software.
Regarding this important launch, Pablo Ugarte, general manager of HP Personal Systems, has commented:
“The Z by HP range offers the best computing experience possible to drive new levels of speed, precision and creativity. HP design engineering, along with the power of Intel and NVIDIA, provide the performance, scalability, and security our customers need to meet their needs today.”
For his part, Roger Chandler, Vice President and CEO of Intel, said:
Intel and Z by HP represent the future of high performance computing for work stations. With Intel Xeon W, users can expect top performance, advanced security features, and the scalability needed to tackle the most demanding workloads.”
