In this 14 minute video, we will walk through the steps to build a small Windows HPC 2008 R2 cluster that you can use to run your parallel software applications, cluster-enabled Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, service-oriented architecture based applications, or parametric sweeps. This video is intended for those of you out there who do not have an IT department to set up a cluster for you, and so you need to do it yourself. After you complete the steps in this video, you will have a cluster that is ready for you to install applications and start running jobs.

The companion guide to this video is available on the TechNet wiki.
