INTRODUCING ZCENTRAL

Introducing the world’s only single-source remote workstation solution1. Centralize your high-compute performance and free your power users to tackle complex, graphics-intensive projects from anywhere.

THE ULTIMATE HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOLUTION

  • KEEP CLOSE CONTROL

    Manage connections between remote power users and your centralized hardware with HP ZCentral Connect². Assign individual machines or create pools for groups to share. All from a single console.

  • Z POWER. ANYWHERE.

    With 1:1 access, your users get the same experience as if their workstation were next to them. HP ZCentral Remote Boost software³ compresses and quickly transports pixels for a seamless experience. 

  • PROTECT YOUR IP

    Lock your data down tight on HP's most secure workstations⁴. We only transfer encrypted pixels over the network, so your sensitive information never leaves your data closet. It's foolproof.

  • UNLOCK SAVINGS

    We're the only vendor that offers a single-source remote workstation solution with hardware and software1. Share pools of workstations with no additional virtualization software required.
