What testing and reliability has been built into the HP Z2 Mini Workstation?
At HP, we recognize that professionals can’t settle for anything less than the highest levels of reliability, so we design our
workstations to meet the challenges of the most demanding application workloads and duty cycles—an HP focus for the
past 30 years. Today, our three decades of workstation engineering innovation have paid o in a level of reliability that is
widely recognized in the industry. HP Workstations are designed for heavy usage and are fully tested with and certied for
a broad variety of professional applications in Product Development, AEC, Financial Services, Media and Entertainment, and
many other segments.
Please read the white paper, Building reliability into HP Workstations, for details about how HP tests workstation products.
