This reduces overall IT costs, increases security, and allows these power users to work wherever they are located. There are a slew of NVIDIA GPUs that are certified to work with the device as well.Ĭreated with product designers, video editors, architects, and other power users in mind, the HP ZCentral 4R Workstation is built around ZCentral Remote Boost. The workstation has USB Type-C connectivity, including the ability to charge, for those that are directly working from the computer. Ultimately the 4R can support six drives in total, though users could also leverage the PCIe slots for more storage if needed.įor networking, the 4R has both 1GbE and 1/2.5/5/10GbE onboard. Two 2.5″ SATA bays on the front come standard, with one 3.5” HDD for extra capacity that can be converted to two 2.5″ bays for more storage flexibility. From a storage perspective, the 4R supports high-speed PCIe SSD storage in the form of two internal M.2 bays. The system houses up to 256GB of DDR4-2933 ECC memory via 4 DIMM slots.

Just like a traditional tower workstation, the 4R has the ability to be easily upgraded, so organizations can start off on the small side and scale up as needed or as new technology or workflow requirements emerge.įrom a hardware perspective, the 4R can be outfitted with a CPU from the Intel Xeon W processor family, giving it up to 18-cores. This allows organizations to densely pack the workstations in, up to 42 in a standard rack.

Applications respond remotely, just as if they were local and native to the user.īilled the HP’s most secure workstation, as well as being touted as the most powerful 1U workstation, the HP ZCentral 4R form factor allows for several to be packed into a standard server rack. The main selling point is that leveraging the company’s remote workstation solution allows power users to work and collaborate from anywhere, without seeing a drop in performance. The multi-layered name implies both the use of the company’s “Z” performance as well as HP ZCentral Remote Boost, for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The HP ZCentral 4R Workstation is a 1U, rackmount system for maximum compute density.
