ZCentral 4R is designed to harness the power of a Z4 workstation in a 1U form factor and is designed to respond to high-density rack environments. Equipped with the latest Intel Xeon W processors (up to 18 CPU cores) and graphics options up to Nvidia Quadro RTX 8000, remote workers get professional-grade performance for intense workloads.

It also provides great layers of security with a lockable exterior front panel, preloaded HP Security Suite, all while being physically secure in a rack cabinet.

It is the world's first workstation solution for remote work in a single location, with the addition of ZCentral 4R, it allows workers to create, connect and collaborate seamlessly from remote locations. The new solution updates help address two of IT's biggest challenges: managing multiple remote devices at once and increasing the security risk of more remote endpoint devices.

The world's most powerful 1U rack workstation that fits 4 times the number of drives compared to a similarly configured Z4 workstation, meaning IT administrators can provide access to unrestricted workstation power to the most remote users from almost any endpoint device.

The latest updates and features include: ZCentral Connect which gives IT departments the flexibility to work remotely and still easily manage user connections and share the power of the central workstation. ZCentral Connect offers enhanced security to prevent unmanaged connections, understand the health status of workstation hardware in real time, and offers the ability to activate LED locators, saving time for IT administrators implementing ZCentral; ZCentral Remote Boost, featuring enhanced digital inking tools with an enhanced Wacom display preview and tablet-like experience[xviii]. This allows artists, designers and engineers natural inking input from anywhere as if it were local to the machine.

Z2 G5 Desserts
