The HPE ProLiant WS460c Gen8 provides greater 2P x86 server blade density without compromise and maximum power-efficiency with flexibility and choice. The HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Workstation Blade allows you to centralize your organization's workstations in the data center rather than placing standalone units at the user's desk.
The computing power, in the form of a blade workstation, is moved to the data center where it can be more easily, securely, and economically managed. The results are improved uptime and business continuity, enhanced data center security, and reduced IT costs.
This next-generation workstation infrastructure combines the centralized, mission-critical control and security of the data center, with seamless, on-demand workstation performance, providing the flexibility to support professionals in multiple work locations. The WS460c Gen 8 delivers an improved user environment, better resource utilization, remote access, and real-time, remote collaboration between individuals and teams.

Meet user demands for high-performance graphics
The HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Graphics Server Blade now delivers even more performance with new Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v2 processors and 1866 MHz DDR3 memory. It is the industry’s first bladed technology to support up to eight GPUs per blade, lowering the cost per user while enabling remote users to easily complete large model visualizations.
New NVIDIA GRID K1 and K2 Boards
With this latest update, HP is expanding our comprehensive set of graphics offerings with NVIDIA GRID solutions that, for the first time, support hardware GPU virtualization and multiple GPUs on a single adapter card, providing an excellent end-user experience.
NVIDIA GRID GPU adaptors have an optimized multi-GPU design that helps to maximize user density. GRID K1 boards, which include four Kepler-based GPUs and 16 GB of memory, are designed to host the maximum number of concurrent users. GRID K2 boards, which include two higher end Kepler GPUs and 8 GB of memory, deliver maximum density for users of workstation-class graphics applications.
With GRID, users benefit from the best of both software virtualized and pass‑through GPU technologies, because the virtual machine (VM) shares the resource of a GPU, but has direct access to the dedicated resources of the GPU.
