HP is ready to help you navigate the impacts and opportunities of AI. We understand your business needs and meet them with the insights, tools, and services to keep power users at their best.

3 ways AI will impact your power users An IT guide to preparing for AI’s effect on software, hardware, and security

01 Support software compatibility and workflows AI is upping expectations for power user outcomes and reshaping how we think about software. It’s vital to provide workstations that surpass today’s specs and meet tomorrow’s demands.

Z by HP workstations: built for AI-driven workflows.

Optimized for software compatibility Z by HP works with leading independent software

vendors (ISVs) to test and certify their software on our hardware for full compatibility, to help you meet performance needs today and in the future.

Workflow solutions Z by HP goes beyond certification requirements,

adding the assurance of up to 360,000 hours of rigorous testing1 workstations with actual workflows.

Z by HP simplifies matching your power users’ needs with the right technology through the Z by HP ISV certifications site.

The Z by HP Data Science Stack Manager gives teams working on AI and data science projects easy access to popular tools and libraries and automatically keeps them up to date.2

03 Brace for AI- generated and quantum attacks AI-generated phishing attacks are already getting too sophisticated for users to spot, and quantum attacks could soon break past encryption protections.

Z by HP workstations are ready for AI-era security.

Hardware-based security Z workstations leverage HP’s unique hardware-enforced, always-on capabilities to secure and provide a resilient platform. From the BIOS to the browser, data and workflows are protected from ever-evolving threats.

Firmware protection HP Sure Start protects the BIOS by constantly monitoring firmware for deviations every time the PC powers on. If a problem is detected, it will replace the BIOS with a safe copy—for BIOS protection that antivirus solutions can’t provide.4

Added endpoint security The HP Endpoint Security Controller (ESC) chip, used by tools like HP Sure Start, ensures that clean firmware is used at startup to protect against tampering or corruption.

Isolation security Z workstations can support endpoint isolation security offerings like HP Sure Click Enterprise,5 which protects against phishing and ransomware attacks via files in email attachments, web links, or even from USB drives by containing each file in a micro-virtual machine (µVM) and then disposing of the µVM to safeguard data and PCs from compromise.

Quantum protection Z by HP offers the world’s first mobile workstations to protect firmware against quantum computer hacks.6,7

02 Choose hardware that can evolve with demands The compute requirements for generative AI, 3D modeling & animation, and machine learning development will continue to grow, and you’ll need hardware designed to be future-proofed.

Z workstations have been at the forefront of AI for years and include pro-grade components that maximize AI workflows.

Advanced processors Maximize performance across a multitude of tasks. Z by HP workstations offer Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® processor options that can handle sequential tasks and overall system management and an NPU3 with appropriate TOPS (trillions of operations per second) to offload productivity tasks while also tackling new and more demanding AI-enhanced workflows.

Graphics cards With optional high-end professional graphics, Z by HP workstations offer the performance and speed needed to develop, train, and fine-tune AI models; accelerate VFX and 8K rendering; and blaze through 3D modeling and generative design. Plus, with the capacity for up to four high-end GPUs, you can equip your team for complex workflows today and in the future.

Tool-less access Easily update components like memory and storage with tool-less access to the interior of Z by HP desktops and the ZBook Fury laptop.

1 HP Total Test Process testing is not a guarantee of future performance under these test conditions. Damage under the HP Total Test Process test conditions or any accidental damage requires an optional HP Accidental Damage Protection Care Pack. Military standard testing is not intended to demonstrate fitness of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) contract requirements or for military use.

2 Z by HP Data Science Stack Manager requires Windows 10 version 21H2 (Build 19044) and higher or 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 and is available on select Z workstations.

3 Features and software that require a NPU may require software purchase, subscription or enablement by a software or platform provider, and third-party software may have specific configuration or compatibility requirements. Potential NPU inferencing performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors.

4 HP Sure Start is available on select HP PCs and requires Windows 10.

5 HP Sure Click requires Windows 10 Pro and higher. See https://bit.ly/2PrLT6A_SureClick for complete details.

6 Based on HP’s internal analysis of business PCs with preinstalled encryption, authentication, malware protection, BIOS-level protection and passing MIL-STD testing, finding that no other in-class PC implements a quantum-resistant cryptographic scheme to protect the integrity of UEFI BIOS firmware as of February 2024.

7 Requires Windows 10 or higher. For supported HP PCs with the latest HP Endpoint Security Controller. See https://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA8-3644ENW
