CHOOSING THE RIGHT HP WORKSTATION Overview •Find the workstation that fits your needs • Get the most out of your add-on budget • Compare workstation features to plan ahead HP’s family of personal workstations Workstations have a variety of characteristics that can give an organization a competitive advantage, increase business productivity, and allow users to work with confidence and peace of mind. HP offers a full range of workstations (including workstation blades, not discussed here) that are exclusively designed and engineered to give customers an edge up on their competitors. HP personal workstations feature: System reliability—Features such as error checking and correcting (ECC) memory and more sophisticated cooling mechanisms help ensure expandability while maintaining high reliability. ISV application certification—ISV certification means application and workstation combinations have been thoroughly tested together, giving predictable and reliable results from one application run to the next. Superior return on investment—Features that increase ROI include a large number of I/O slots, toolless chassis design, and the additional performance possibilities from single or dual multi-core processors 1 . Professional graphics—Workstations are designed to support the most powerful graphics cards, a requirement for high-end applications where multiple 2D or 3D monitors are required. Choosing the right workstation Given the wide range of price and performance covered by the HP family of personal workstations, choosing the right workstation can be a challenge. The enclosed tables help a prospective buyer determine the optimal workstation solution. The table on the following page has the following columns: “Application segment”—A general description of the kind of application into which the workstation will be deployed. It is generally sorted by decreasing need of performance and other features, and contains a brief description of the market. “You generally need...”—A generalization of the top two or three most important requirements for this market segment (in priority order). This list assumes that a purchaser has to make some priority decisions based on budget. “Choose the right workstation”—A visual indication of the first choice of workstation model to choose. “...Choose your add-ons”—Answers the question “If I have a small amount (5-10% of the purchase price) of budget left, how is it best spent?” These items are in priority order, and generally describe the most effective add-ons to purchase given the primary workstation model and application segment.
