ZCentral HP- Header-img

A COMPLETE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SOLUTION TO POWER A REMOTE WORKFORCE

HP’s ZCentral Remote Boost has helped the media and entertainment industry transition to a new way of working. By providing remote access to advanced computing, editors, artists, and other creative professionals can now create and collaborate from anywhere.

ZCentral is more than just Remote Boost, as HP released ZCentral Connect, a light-weight connection manager geared specifically for ZCentral Remote Boost.

ZCentral Connect Management Software allows the IT manager to manage and monitor ZCentral Remote Boost connections. It’s designed to simplify the management and sharing of centralized workstations with multiple users powered by HP ZCentral Remote Boost software to provide amazing remote workstation experiences.

With ZCentral Connect, HP has become the only IT company that is the single product line source for all the hardware and software for a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment. The entire VDI stack has been designed from the ground up, and perhaps more importantly supported by HP.

ZCENTRAL VS VIRTUALIZED SERVERS

Unlike a virtualized server, our solution provides direct, undivided access to workstation-class performance without the additional maintenance and costs.

ZCENTRAL VS CLOUD

Cloud-based solutions don't offer the cost-structure you need for power-users. Get predictable pricing without trading-off configurable performance.

ZCENTRAL VS OTHER WORKSTATIONS

As the world's only single-source remote workstation solution, no extra remote hardware or software is required. It's a simple end-to-end solution.

THE FUTURE OF REMOTE COMPUTE IS BRIGHT

GET THE BEST OF BOTH. TERADICI CAS AND ZCENTRAL REMOTE BOOST.

The first step towards combining the best of both Emmy® Award-winning remoting software solutions is here, and the choice is yours.

Available now, a single 1-year subscription2 of Teradici CAS and ZCentral Remote Boost for the flexibility to choose the right software suite to tackle graphics or compute intensive projects from anywhere. Teams can securely access the cloud, virtual machines, or localized workstations from most devices for fast responsiveness and high-definition image quality, even with film editing and big data visualizations.

Getting the HP-Teradici single subscription (also known as the Teradici CA+ subscription) is the start of what will be an amazing year ahead as HP and Teradici bring the best of both worlds together into a single product in 2022. The future combined product will be based on the Teradici CAS software and licensing platform while including many of the features of ZCentral Remote Boost and ZCentral Connect that are not in Teradici CAS today.
