Remote Workstation Solutions for Power Users
Powering Compute- and Graphics-Intensive Collaboration From Afar
For those working in compute-hungry occupations—including animators, developers, and data scientists—the personal devices they use at home may not provide the power they need to perform their work. HP’s ZCentral solutions solve this problem by harnessing the power of in-office workstations, making high-performance computing possible from almost any device, anywhere.
Companies are eager to put their power users back to work, and IT leaders are tasked with making it happen. While some enterprises can afford to fund the rapidly changing priorities of their IT-related needs, many are bracing for ongoing economic turbulence. This means any solution IT departments identify for supplying power users with the remote workstations they need to do their jobs must be a cost-effective one. It must also be flexible enough to support the various programs and operating systems that are used by professionals who work with large data sets and complex graphics daily.
Not your average remote desktop solution
Remote desktop solutions are nothing new, as they’ve been helping companies support remote workers for some time. But for remote workers with complex, compute- and graphics-intensive projects to tackle, your average remote desktop solution won’t cut it. Here’s why ZCentral Remote Boost is unlike any other remote workstation software solution on the market.
High-performance computing from almost any device
Outfitting remote power users with at-home high-power workstation devices is a luxury few companies can afford. That means most IT departments must make do with what they have available. In some cases, members of the same team are even using different operating systems, further complicating IT efforts to support high-power remote collaboration.
With ZCentral Remote Boost, your decentralized power users can access a transformative remote work experience on almost any device. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux3, ZCentral Remote Boost supplies power-hungry users quick access to large, high-quality files at the office via incredibly responsive remote workstation access for compute- and graphics-intensive work.
Encryption you can count on
Data breaches are costly. And now that entire companies have moved to a remote work model with little-to-no supporting infrastructure in place, cybersecurity risks are at an all-time high. This can be an especially sensitive topic for creators working with proprietary assets or data scientists working with private data—all of which must be protected at all costs.
ZCentral Remote Boost empowers IT professionals to manage, monitor, and assign dedicated remote workstation performance on a secure private network. Because ZCentral Remote Boost transfers pixels only, the data remains locked down. That means all information that your power users share over the network will be encrypted.
Real-time, pro-grade collaboration
If there’s one thing we’ve all learned from this unplanned remote work experiment, it’s that many online collaboration tools leave much to be desired. This is true of even the most basic functional needs. As such, power users have been hampered by their inability to work in tandem with their heavily interdependent teams.
By deploying ZCentral Remote Boost software, decentralized teams can access predictable and dedicated remote performance that’s independent of the end-point device. This means global teams can collaborate in real time—even on something as graphics-intensive as a 3D model.
Strong solutions for strange times
As companies work hard to adapt their playbooks to better address the new working normal, IT leaders are burdened with big decisions that require fast thinking and decisive action. ZCentral Remote Boost is a secure, cost-effective software solution that creates efficiency gains for decentralized power users.
