HP Z Workstation
Our commitment to compatibility
Photo caption.
HP Z Workstations help you handle the most complex data, designs, 3D
models, analysis, and information; but we don’t stop at the hardware—we
know that leading the industry requires the best in application performance,
reliability, and stability.
Software certication ensures that HP’s workstation hardware solution is compatible with the software products that
will run on it. We work closely with our ISVs from the beginning – both in the development of new hardware and in the
design of new software or a software revision. This commitment to partnership results in a fully certied HP
Workstation ISV solution, and ensures a wholly compatible experience between hardware and software that is stable
and designed to perform.
In this document, HP Z Workstation experts identify the workstations recommended to run industry specic
applications. While many congurations are certied for each application, our recommendations are based on
industry trends, typical industry data set sizes, price point, and other factors.
