In a first-of-a-kind gala event, HP hosted partners and customers from across the Middle East today at the Viceroy hotel, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi to showcase a range of its workstations including its Z1 workstation.
HP claims that the Z1 is the worlds first all-in-one workstation.
Built for computer-aided design, digital media, entertainment, architects, education, and independent professionals, the HP Z1 combines a sleek industrial design with accelerated computing and visual performance.
Speaking about the launch, Salim Ziade, general manager, HP Personal Systems Group, Middle East said: We are excited to bring the worlds first all-in-one workstation to the Middle East. Weve been visiting customers around the region in automotive, audio and video among others, and the response is overwhelmingly positive with comments like its insanely cool and just the right size,. Customers say theyre impressed with the combination of accelerated performance and design thats not available on any other product in the market today.
The display of the new HP Z1 snaps open so users can easily swap out parts and make upgrades without additional tools. The HP Z1 combines a sleek industrial design with accelerated performance featuring Intel Xeon processors, NVIDIA Quadro graphics and support for more than 1 billion colours.
The event provided an opportunity for HP to collaborate and network with more than 200 of its partners and customers, discussing new growth strategies and identifying ways to expand their businesses by tapping into the power of HP.
Our main objective of organising this event was to help our regional partners and customers develop a better understanding of the HP value products and solutions, including workstations, thin clients, retail point of sale and digital signage. Its important that we engage in a dialogue with our customers and partners to address the evolving IT environment and how we can meet escalating consumer demand, added Ziade.
Several of HPs leading global partners who have an extensive history of collaborating with HP to deliver innovative technology, were present, including Adobe, Intel, Autocad, VMware, Citrix, Autodesk and Scala. The one day conference included keynote addresses from top-level HP executives, breakout sessions and meetings with partners, customers and HP executives.
