Reimagine GPU Power. Boost Productivity.
HP Z Boost
World's first on-demand GPU compute solution, turning your workstation into a shareable resource.
HP Z Boost shifts GPU access from hardware bound to on demand, accelerating rendering, visualization, and AI workloads through shared resources. Give every engineer, designer, or AI professional the performance they need when they need it, without overprovisioning.
How It Works
1. Access GPUs from an end user PC for complex workflows.
2. With HP Z Boost view and select workstations with available GPUs to connect to.
3. Tap into up to four high-end GPUs within a HP Z workstation for increased GPU performance.
Boost Your Team’s Impact
Accelerate AI Innovation
Accelerated Design Cycles
Shorten design cycles and unblock teams by dynamically assigning shared GPUs to the users and tasks that need them. On-demand, on-prem resources accelerate workflows from idea to output no waiting for upgrades, reconfigurations, or render queues.
Remote Agility
Low-Latency Shared GPU Access
On‑prem GPU compute, optimized for low‑latency LAN‑grade network performance
Cost Efficiency
Maximized GPU Utilization
Deliver value by turning underutilized workstation GPUs into shared, centrally managed resources. Dynamically allocate individual GPU resources avoiding overprovisioning, increasing utilization, and extending the workstation value.
Security
Local Data. Secure Workflows.
Keep sensitive project files and data on-prem, on-device and under your control. HP Z Boost lives within your network, minimizing cloud‑related risks and preventing unpredictable cloud-computer cost.
Architecture Overview
Boost decouples the GPU work in the application from the local workstation, allowing shared GPU pools to accelerate many users.
User Application
(ON LOCAL WORKSTATION)
Catia V6 / Siemens NX / Enscape, etc.
The application process runs here. It thinks it has a local GPU, but Juice intercepts the API calls.
GPU Calls Over Network
CUDA API Calls
Vulkan API Calls
DirectX 12 API Calls
GPU Host Workstation
NVIDIA professional workstation GPUs
The actual GPU work executes here. The results (frames, tensors) are sent back to the client.
Works over LAN and WAN | No application code changes required.
The HP Z Boost Advantage
See how HP Z Boost stacks up against traditional infrastructure. We eliminate the complexity of VDI, the latency of batch processing, and the rigidity of hardware partitions.
