Description

Configuring Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 for High Availability of the Head Node

This guide provides procedures and guidance for deploying where the head node (specifically, a set of head node services) is configured in a failover cluster.

Configuring Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 for High Availability with SOA Applications

This guide provides procedures and guidance for deploying in a configuration designed for high availability for applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA). For this configuration, you configure the head node (specifically, a set of head node services) in a failover cluster. Then you can configure one or more WCF broker nodes (specifically, the HPCBroker application) in one or more separate failover clusters.
