PALO ALTO, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 30, 2009—  HP (NYSE: HPQ) today unveiled the HP Z Workstation series – a reinvention of the product category from the core outward that offers customers unprecedented performance, value and serviceability in a sleek new design.

The HP Z800, HP Z600 and HP Z400 Workstations are the culmination of more than 20 HP design innovations – including a self-checking power supply – and take advantage of the new Intel® Xeon® processor.

HP’s engineering investment in the Z line already is paying off for customers such as Schlumberger, which reports it is realizing step-change performance improvements ranging from 300 to 500 percent on its flagship engineering applications.

“The new Z line marks the first HP workstations to be totally serviceable with your fingers – from the power supply to the motherboard,” said Jim Zafarana, vice president and general manager, Workstations, HP. “Early studies show that an HP Z Workstation may pay for itself in a surprisingly short period with its performance and productivity gains.” 

I’ve played and supported HP workstations for years from the AP400, AP550, XW6000 etc and have been a fan ever since, they’ve always been generally very hard working machines, so it was interesting to read an article about their new workstations and check out the details on the HP site here.  Anything HP can do to improve the servicing of the systems, reduce reliance on screwdrivers has to be a good thing for those with large deployments, I’ll need to read up more, having a brief look, the Z600 please, nice and small and hopefully quiet?
