Complete peace of mind
HP Workstations are designed for mission-critical applications, where system failure is not acceptable. The tool-less chassis makes it easy to service and simple to access, change and add components. All HP Workstations come with a limited 3-year parts, 3-year labor, and 3-year onsite service standard warranty that is extendable up to 5 years.
Rigorous testing and certification
HP invests in people, equipment, partner relationships, as well as testing and ISV (Independent Software Vendor) certification processes to ensure HP Workstations work as expected with professional applications from the world's leading software companies. Before HP Workstations receive ISV certification, they undergo rigorous testing. This level of HP effort means your investment in software and HP hardware is protected — the HP commitment to the quality and support of your solution.
