Autodesk® is the world’s leading digital design andcontent company, serving more than 6 millionprofessionals in industries where design is critical tosuccess–including building, manufacturing andinfrastructure. While best known as a CAD company,Autodesk provides a broad range of solutions thatcombine industry-leading software with expert consultingand a network of dedicated developers and partners.

Solutions offered by Autodesk improve the complexprocesses used to engineer and manufacture products,design and construct buildings, and develop andmaintain infrastructure and alter the fundamentalprocesses used to create value and satisfy customers.

The goal is simple: provide tools that optimize the processof turning your ideas into something real.

Building solutionsAutodesk’s comprehensive software and service solutionsconnect and support teams in the building industry. Toolslike Autodesk Buzzsaw®, Autodesk Revit® and AutodeskArchitectural Desktop™ help everyone work smarter, fasterand, most of all, together.

Built on AutoCAD® software, Autodesk ArchitecturalDesktop delivers the productivity of automateddocumentation, the efficiency of intelligent architecturalobjects, and the flexibility of file-based collaboration. TheAutodesk Revit building design and documentation systemis specifically designed for building information modeling.Its parametric change technology lets you changeanything, anytime, anywhere, while Revit coordinates thechange everywhere. Design information is coordinated,consistent and complete.

Manufacturing solutionsAutodesk delivers a complete solution for manufacturers,including the most innovative 2D and 3D design toolsand the only practical data management solution on themarket. Working with Autodesk software, you’ll use designdata to accelerate product development cycles, collaboratemore efficiently with manufacturing partners, and, in theend, get better-quality products to market faster.

PartnershipHP and Autodesk provide engineers, architects andGIS professionals with the tools they need to create,manage and deliver complex designs and large modelsin the fastest, most cost-effective way possible. HPworkstations provide the sheer muscle, technology andadvanced graphics to establish the backbone of asuperior solution and come backed by legendary HPreliability, support and innovation. Indeed, HP considersevery need from exclusive utilities to optimizedconfigurations to complementary hardware—all to makeAutodesk users more productive, spur innovation anddeliver a superior return on investment. When you want toget more from an Autodesk Manufacturing, Building orInfrastructure solution, you can trust HP.

Powerful workstations HP Personal Workstations offer the latest graphicsand technologies to create a customized Autodeskenvironment to satisfy any CAD/AEC/GIS need—todayand in the future.

Processor power, processor technology.HP workstations utilize the world’s fastest processorsand offer unrivaled choices so engineers can build atechnological solution that best suits their needs, whilemaximizing productivity and value. HP offers Intel®

Pentium®, Intel Xeon™ and AMD Opteron™-basedworkstations, so whether you are an architect using amainstream design program or an engineer who needsextreme graphics performance and power for complexsimulations and large models, HP has the idealworkstation for you.

HP has the future covered as well. All HP PersonalWorkstations are capable of running 32-bit or 64-bitapplications with no performance lossi. That means thatwhen Autodesk moves its applications to 64-bits, yourHP workstation will be ready and waiting for your new64-bit operating system and applications.

HP: Engineered for Innovators

Why choose a workstationinstead of a PC?An HP workstation improves productivity andincreases return on investment by delivering betterperformance, stability, support and expandability.A PC is a lower-cost system designed for a varietyof home and standard business tasks, not thecomplex CAD, AEC and GIS needs of architects,engineers and design professionals. Those movingfrom 2D on a PC to 3D will find that 3Dapplications demand workstation performance.

Consider these workstation benefits:

• Performance: HP workstations are designed forbetter performance. They include workstation-level chipsets, professional-level graphics,high-performance memory, a choice of one ortwo processors, and applications that arecertified and tested for stability.

• Graphics: Professional graphics cards designedfor CAD, CAE and AEC applications—notgames. Workstations handle the toughest 3Dvisualization, feature OpenGL support and offerspecific application support to maximizeperformance.

• Memory: Workstations feature ECC andDDR-2 memory for greater performance.

• Application stability: Engineers test and certifyworkstations with specific applications to ensurestability and reliability. Workstations also includeoptimized drivers.

• Greater expandability: Workstations featureadditional and higher powered PCI slots, higherRAM capacity through more memory slots,higher disk capacity and higher capacity powersupplies.

Professional graphicsHP works extensively with its software partnersand graphics vendors to deliver thoroughly-tested,application-certified graphics to market faster. This meansthat you have a workstation you can trust will performwithout a glitch in even the most demanding CADenvironment. It also means that HP has developed theexpertise to provide you extensive support andquick resolution if an issue arises down the road.

Low noise designHP workstations reduce work environment noise with newcircuitry that allows fans to run quieter at lower speedswhen the system is idle or running low-powerapplications, but retain the ability to accommodatehigh-power applications and configurations.

HP Personal WorkstationsHP continues to build on more than 20 years ofworkstation technical and graphics expertise. HP’s latestworkstations redefine personal performance and valueby offering affordable technology that deliversthe best return on investment.

i An EM64T enabled workstation should provide leading performance for many 32-bit applications. Although not all 32-bit applications may run as normal when you decide to change to a 64-bit operating system, many will, providing excellent flexibility. It is advised to pre-test your applications by visiting Microsoft’s 64-bit 120 day free trial before you order EM64T(www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/trial.mspx). EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabledfor Intel 64-bit processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without a 64-bit enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Seewww.intel.com/info/em64t for more information including details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.

ii Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology requires a computer system with an Intel Xeon processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system.Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information including details on which processorssupport HT Technology.
