13 OUR COMMITMENT TO COMPATIBILITY Resources, contacts, and additional links HP Z Workstations help you handle the most complex data, designs, 3D models, analysis, and information; but we don’t stop at the hardware— we know that leading the industry requires the best in application performance, reliability, and stability.

Software certification ensures that HP’s workstation hardware solution is compatible with the software products that will run on it. We work closely with our software partners from the beginning – both in the development of new hardware and in the design of new software or a software revision. This commitment to partnership results in a fully certified HP Workstation application solution and ensures a wholly compatible experience between hardware and software that is stable and designed to perform.

In this document, HP Z Workstation experts identify the workstations recommended to run industry specific applications. While many configurations are certified for each application, our recommendations are based on industry trends, typical industry data set sizes, price point, and other factors.
