Engineers, designers and power office users are constantly demanding more from their desktop systems. Increasingly sophisticated applications require more computing performance, larger memory, and a range of professional graphics - all on similar or shrinking budgets. Although ordinary business PCs can sometimes fulfill these users' needs, the demands these applications make on a desktop system often make a workstation a required solution. However, until recently, the per-unit pricing of workstations meant that organizations could only justify deployment to users with higher-end computing requirements. With the recent introduction of two entry-level workstations, HP has made workstation power uniquely affordable to a broader range of users.
