HP Unveils Its First Enterprise-class All-in-One PC

SYDNEY, Australia, August 19, 2010 – HP Australia today announced its first all-in-one PC as part of the enterprise-class HP Compaq 6000 Pro family, which offers customers proven performance and reliability in an easy-to-use, space-saving design that features integrated collaboration tools.

Ideal for mid-market, corporate and enterprise environments, the new HP Compaq 6000 Pro All-in-One Business PC delivers powerful performance, high-definition (HD) visuals and energy-saving features that are consistent with the HP Compaq 6000 Pro series PC line. Its one-cord design ensures easy, out-of-the-box setup and serviceability, removes cable clutter and provides a more functional workspace in office cubicles and shared environments.

“Our first enterprise-class all-in-one has been designed with the reliability, security, manageability and stability our customers expect from the HP Compaq 6000 Pro series,” said Chee-Mei Gan, Director of Product Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP South Pacific. “The 6000 Pro All-in-One offers a great mix of performance, integrated features and sleek design for no-compromise computing at a great price.”

Businesses can easily produce and share digital content using the 16x Max SuperMulti optical drive and slim-tray DVD burner with LightScribe,(1) and they can take advantage of seven USB ports and an IEEE 1394 FireWire® port for easy data transfer. Additionally, the six-in-one memory card reader, optional MXM graphics and optional TV tuner offer enhanced multimedia flexibility.(2)

The incorporated display port helps customers conveniently attach to a high-resolution external monitor or digital signage display,(3) allowing for better multitasking and workflow. For customers who require added security, the PC also features PS/2 ports to allow users to disable USB ports on their PCs, while still using the PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard.

Stability, serviceability and built-in security The HP Compaq 6000 Pro All-in-One offers easy access to components for simplified service and upgrades similar to the 6000 Pro series small form factor and microtower PCs. Sectioned, removable panels on the back of the chassis allow administrators to easily and efficiently service the PC without incurring additional downtime.

Businesses can also rely on remote PC access for secure hardware and software image stability through Intel Standard Manageability, reducing time spent on IT deployment. Customers receive security benefits using Face Recognition for HP ProtectTools software(4) with auto-login capabilities and the TPM 1.2-compliant embedded security chip. Internal intrusion monitoring sensors and optional HP security locks and cables help protect PCs from theft.(2)

Collaborate in interactive, shared workspaces The HP Compaq 6000 Pro All-in-One is an ideal communications portal for multiple-user access in business, healthcare and education environments, allowing users to share information, collaborate with remote colleagues and conduct virtual meetings from a single console. Designed for ultimate flexibility, including compatibility with VESA-compliant mounting solutions for wall mounts and articulating arms, the 6000 Pro All-in-One features an HD webcam, dual-array microphone and premium stereo speakers.

The PC also comes standard with a full version of the HP SkyRoom videoconferencing collaboration tool(5) – a $231 inc. GST value – and is Microsoft® Office Communicator certified.(6)

Compact design and a smaller carbon footprint Built to deliver lower energy costs and promote a smaller carbon footprint, the HP Compaq 6000 All-in-One is ENERGY STAR® qualified, EPEAT® Gold registered and offers 89 per cent energy efficient power. HP Power Assistant software also comes standard on the PC, helping businesses maximise energy savings without interfering with end-user productivity or desktop maintenance.(7) Packaging the PC in one box, instead of two, results in fewer waste materials and allows for reduced shipping costs.
