Product Guides
 
Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 can be easily and quickly deployed using standard Windows deployment technologies, and additional compute nodes can be added to the compute cluster by simply plugging in the nodes and connecting them. The Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MS-MPI) implementation is fully compatible with the reference MPICH2. Integration with Active Directory enables role-based security for administration and users, and the use of Microsoft Management Console provides a familiar administrative and scheduling interface.
