Integrating Windows HPC Server 2008 with Linux

We find many of our Windows HPC Server 2008 deployments are going into environments where there are existing Linux (and Linux HPC) solutions. It is possible to configure these two environments to achieve integrated authentication, file sharing and job submission.

The following technical documents provide step by step instructions on how to do a typical installation of Windows HPC and a Linux HPC distribution so as to achieve a single sign on environment, file sharing and to submit jobs from a Linux environment running Sun Grid Engine into the Windows HPC 2008 job scheduler using the HPC Basic Profile web service specification.
