Why a Mobile Workstation?

Mission-critical reliability
We understand your work is critical and
system down time or failure is not an
option. HP ZBooks are designed and tested
to comprehensively address reliability
in all its forms, so you can rest assured
your workstation will keep up in the most
demanding environments.
Business-rugged design
HP ZBooks are designed to stand up to
the rigors of users who are constantly on
the go. HP uses third party vendors to test
the ZBooks to military standards for drop,
vibration, dust, temperature, and altitude.

Tested beyond industry standards
HP knows you challenge your workstations
every day, so HP does too. HP Z Workstation
engineers conduct 115,000 hours of rigorous
testing to ensure world-class reliability. In
brutal three-axis testing—where frequency,
voltage, and temperature are varied—our
engineers push the limits of processors,
memory, and other system parts. This
three-axis testing uses proprietary tools
and techniques, and stresses components
in ways that help detect potential design
or component weaknesses that would
otherwise go unnoticed. In some cases,
rigorous qualication enables us to nd
issues that have been previously overlooked
by our component vendors. We have strong
relationships and inuence with these
vendors, which enable us to obtain and
integrate improved components into our
systems, many of which are unique to
HP Z Workstations.
ECC memory for data integrity
Memory errors can happen anywhere,
anytime—with consequences as disastrous
as a system crash in the middle of a critical
operation.
Error Correction Code (ECC) memory detects
and corrects soft errors in the memory
system on the y, preserving the integrity
of your data. HP oers ECC memory on
our workstations so your mission-critical
applications can run smoothly with minimized
memory errors.
Safe and secure
HP oers a variety of scalable hardware,
software, and BIOS-based security features
to help you defend your organization against
viruses and other threats. These integrated
security features safeguard what matters to
you the most—your data, device and identity.
• An optional ngerprint reader and
integrated Smart Card Reader help keep
your identity secure.
• HP SureStart goes to work at startup—
making sure your ZBook is protected
from malicious or unanticipated malware
attacks. It’s designed to automatically
restore the BIOS within 30 seconds if it is
ever attacked or corrupted.
• Secure Erase enables you to permanently
destroy data on your hard drive in
preparation for your system disposal or
redeployment.
Engineered BIOS
HP BIOS helps hardware compatibility and
increases workstation reliability by reducing
power consumption through preset sleep
states, adjustable fan speeds that maximize
operating eciency, and power management
features.
Independent Software Vendor (ISV)
certication
HP supports an extensive list of application
partners and works closely with many
software vendors to ensure that these
applications work smoothly and awlessly
on HP ZBooks in all possible congurations.
HP also provides a test suite to graphics
vendors, to help increase the reliability
and stability of industry-standard graphics
products. Learn more about how HP’s
relationships power you.
Ultimately, our intense focus
on reliability gives you
greater peace of mind when
running professional
applications on the
HP ZBook. You know
that you have a system
that is designed, tested, and
proven for the work you do.
