To design and deploy an HPC cluster on-premises, follow these steps:
- Choose your cluster topology for the cluster. The HPC pack supports five different topologies:
- Topology 1: Compute nodes isolated on a private network
- Topology 2: All nodes on enterprise and private networks
- Topology 3: Compute nodes isolated on private and application networks
- Topology 4: All nodes on enterprise, private, and application networks
- Topology 5: All nodes on an enterprise network
- Deploy one or more head nodes (you need more than one if you want high availability) for your cluster. You need to install Windows Server 2016 (or 2012R2) on your head node and then HPC Pack. This head node computer has to be under an Active ...
