Product description

• HP Z6 G4 Series Tower Workstation Enjoy smooth rendering of 3D models, compiling of programming codes, and handling of other intensive tasks with the Z6 G4 Series Tower Workstation from HP. Under the hood, an Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processor can be found along with 8GB of DDR4 ECC RAM that will accompany it. Never sacrifice performance with eight processing cores running between 1.8 and 3 GHz, while the ECC RAM automatically detects and corrects errors to help prevent data corruption. Beyond memory correction, a 3.5" 7200 rpm hard drive is on board to provide 1TB of digital storage space for storing documents, photos, videos, and more. Windows 10 Pro 64 for Workstations is installed on this drive. Furthermore, HP has designed this Z8 G4 workstation with no integrated or dedicated graphics processing unit included, so you can tailor this system for your needs with a user-supplied graphics card.
  
  As for connectivity, you'll find two Gigabit Ethernet ports as well as ten USB 3.0 ports, with one of the USB ports supporting device charging. Other notable connections include one headset connector, audio-in, audio-out, PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard, and serial. There's also a slim HP DVD writer for recording memories on to optical media. The expandability features on the HP Z6 G4 start with one 2.5"/3.5" internal bay as well as two M.2 slots and two 5.25" external bays. The workstation is armed with three PCIe 3.0 x4, one PCIe 3.0 x8, and two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to enable support for optional Thunderbolt 3 cards, RAID controllers, and other useful PCIe cards. For accommodating up to 192GB of memory modules, a total of six memory slots are available. Additionally, the Z6 G4 can support a second sold-separately processor to further enhance the system's capabilities.
  
  Photo is an authorized HP reseller with professional in-house technicians available for upgrades & installations on these workstations and laptops. Built with power and speed in mind, the Z Series system is designed to enhance audio and video post-production workflows and more by sporting a range of top-tier processors and large RAM loadouts.

  Windows 10 Pro

  Start Menu
  • After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
  Cortana
  • Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
  Microsoft Edge
  • After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
  Windows Store
  • For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
  Windows Continuum
  • Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
  Xbox on Windows 10
  • Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
  Windows 10 Pro
  • The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for businesses users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.

• HP 1ME41AT Quadro P2000 Graphics Card Designed for CAD workflows, professional graphics rendering, and processing the HP Quadro P2000 Graphics Card incorporates NVIDIA's efficient Pascal architecture. The GPU features 1024 CUDA cores coupled to 5GB of VRAM with a 160-bit memory bus providing a maximum of 3 TFLOPS of single-precision computing power. Using supported APIs and CUDA, that computing performance can translate into high resolution and realistic real-time 2D and 3D graphics rendering or improved computing speed with hardware acceleration. The output panel on this card features four DisplayPort terminals. Up to four monitors can be simultaneously supported by a single card, without any extra hardware, to create high-resolution video walls with your workstation or for more desktop real-estate to increase productivity. DisplayPort 1.4 support allows this card to drive UHD 5K displays as well. Included with the card is one DisplayPort to DVI-D SL adapter for connecting to legacy displays. Other separately available adapters can be used with this card to drive other kinds of displays and projectors. For cooling, an active fansink cooler uses a radial fan to force air through the card's heatsink, dissipating heat from the GPU and other internal components. This cooling configuration is best suited for cases with unrestricted airflow.
