when you employ
the optional Blu-ray DVD+/RW SuperMulti DL drive. The Blu-ray format offers more
than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs, and the high-definition
multimedia interface (HDMI) connector allows you to connect to high-definition

HP PERFORMANCE TUNING FRAMEWORK
Set up a mobile workstation for enhanced stability and performance, and configure
the device to best suit your needs with this simple, Windows
®
-based interface that’s
unique to HP. This feature enables availability of the latest graphics cards and
drivers, and runs diagnostics of hardware and software to help the computer
balance its tasks—from high-end graphics and large applications to digesting large
volumes of data.
RAPID AND ROBUST

processor available in HP Mobile
Workstations. A choice of two or four execution cores provides a truly powerful multi-
tasking environment, ideal for multimedia, modeling, analysis and rendering and for
running multiple computer-intensive applications all at once. With a second, separately
purchased HP Upgrade Bay hard disk drive (HDD), mobile workstations now support
RAID 0 and RAID 1.
SOLUTIONS FOR SECURITY
Sensitive information left on the hard drive when a notebook is recycled or otherwise
disposed of may pose a security threat. However, deleting data does not permanently
remove stored information. When you delete a file, its name is removed from the hard
drive directory, making the space occupied by the file available to new files. However,
until overwritten by a new file, the deleted file continues to reside on the hard drive and
may be recovered. Thus, while the conventional deletion process is fast and convenient,
it may pose a security threat.
To help counter this threat, HP has introduced File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools, which
allows you to permanently erase individual files, folders and personally identifiable
information that could otherwise potentially be used to identify, contact, or locate you.
Files can be sanitized on command or you can use File Sanitizer to automatically
shred selected information. With file sanitization, designated files are overwritten
multiple times by meaningless data, rendering the files effectively unrecoverable.
You can also use File Sanitizer’s free space bleaching feature
14
to bleach the hard
drive at scheduled intervals.
SIMPLIFY YOUR MOBILE LIFE.
Mobile computing is a means to boost productivity. HP Mobile Workstations add features
to achieve productivity as simply as possible. The new HP QuickLook2
19
tool allows
you to quickly browse your e-mail, calendars and contact information with a touch
of a button, even if your workstation is turned off. That means convenient access to
critical information.
HP Mobile Broadband powered by Gobi

Technology—Gobi,

a universal module
that supports multiple cellular networks, brings built-in wide-area wireless broadband
connectivity to your notebook nearly every part of the world. Available on the HP
EliteBook 8530w, it allows connectivity beyond WiFi and enables you to easily switch
between carriers without additional investment in hardware or software.

means users are free to focus on their work
while IT administrators are equipped to efficiently manage devices in remote and
streamlined ways. Remote manageability also lowers the total cost of operating and
makes it possible to strengthen security measures.
