Gain Collaboration without Compromise

The reality of hybrid work is that you probably have employees working both on- and off-site. And while remote solutions like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and cloud may have worked in the past, they throttle the productivity of power users such as engineers, designers, creatives, and data scientists tackling compute-intensive workflows and large, data-rich files.
 
Can you create a fulfilling in-office technology experience specifically for these employees who use specialized software and demanding AI applications in their compute-intensive workflows? In this guide, you’ll learn how the HP Z Remote Access SolutionHP Z Remote Access Solution includes HP Z workstations or HP Commercial devices, HP Anyware software and HP Remote System Controller. Network access required. HP Anyware software and licensing are available through a 1- or 3-year subscription. Renewal is required after the subscription term. HP Anyware subscriptions are based on the number of concurrent PCoIP connections used (pay for the number of host connections, not the software) with a minimum order quantity of 5. For a limited time, an HP Anyware Professional subscription also includes access and support for ZCentral Remote Boost and ZCentral Connect and is available for purchase through an HP reseller or contact sales at hp.com/Anyware. ZCentral Remote Boost Sender requires Windows 10 and 11, RHEL/CentOS (7 or 8), or UBUNTU 18.04 or 20.04 LTS operating systems. macOS (10.14 or newer) operating system and ThinPro 7.2 are only supported on the receiver side. ZCentral Connect requires Windows (10 or 11) or Windows Server (2016 or 2019) operating system, Microsoft Active Directory and Intel Active Management Technology for select features. For system requirements and to install HP Anyware and Anyware Manager, refer to the Admin Guides at: https://docs.teradici.com/find/product/hp-anyware. HP Remote System Controller is sold separately.* offers dedicated workstation-level performance and simple manageability all at a predictable cost. That’s better performance, without compromises—for your power users and for IT.

Meet the Needs of Your Power Users

Employees with compute-intensive workflows need high-end performance and low-latency connectivity because they’re generating designs and insights that drive your company’s intellectual property. These workers need to collaborate worldwide on graphics-heavy apps, analyze big data live in the field, run complex simulations, and use data-intensive AI applications and tools from anywhere they’re working.
 
Their tasks differ, but their requirements have key similarities: No matter what their specific jobs entail, all kinds of technical and creative professionals benefit from a remote workflow that provides secured, shared access to compute power, data, and applications. In today’s hybrid work environment, they need to be able to change work locations dynamically and access full, fluid GPU, CPU, and NPU acceleration from anywhere.
 
Additionally, these users, who often access massive amounts of sensitive data, prefer to think about the inventive, creative nature of their jobs—not the security of their endpoints. This makes built-in isolation from the BIOS up even more crucial, particularly in an era when AI is facilitating increasingly advanced attacks. Along with built-in security, power users benefit from tools that streamline collaboration, reduce the time taken by busy work and distractions, and enable them to focus on meaningful work that drives innovation.
 
Entrusting terabytes or petabytes of personal information and intellectual property to a VPN connection isn’t a risk worth taking. By providing power users with secured remote access, IT can gain peace of mind and enable data teams to stay productive without worrying about their safety.

Why Traditional Remote Models Slow You Down

VDI and cloud are the traditional approaches for hybrid and remote work. But for performance-driven data scientists, engineers, and designers, these solutions can slow down workflows. VDI restricts compute power, and cloud provisioning and performance can’t always keep pace with the explosion of data-heavy workloads.

Virtualized server concept.

VDI Drawbacks

Workflows often rely on shared corporate storage, large datasets that the entire team works on, or data that needs to stay secure. That drives some companies to use a VDI or virtualized servers that access a virtualized pool of computing resources. But these methods don’t provide undivided access to workstation-class performance and can introduce latency, complexity, and overhead costs.

Data cloud storage concept.

Cloud Constraints

Putting apps and storage in the cloud can be a viable solution for regular office workers, but it presents several challenges for power users with flexible work locations. Provisioning more space isn’t always an instant process. Overhead expenses grow rapidly with large amounts of data moving to and from the cloud. Location, configuration, and bandwidth constraints can cause unpredictable performance. AI applications that require substantial processing power can also experience significant delays in the cloud. Plus, when data leaves your premises, security risks increase.

Unify and Accelerate Power-user Teams

HP Z Remote Access Solution—powered with HP Anyware—moves past the traditional challenges of VDI and cloud for industries that need to enable power users working from anywhere with fast, secured access to data and applications. This solution combines hardware and software in a turnkey offering—empowering your global workforce with remote workstation access that rivals the experience of working locally. It also eases the IT burden with significant cost, security, and manageability advantages.
