HPC Pack 2008 R2 Service Pack 3

• This service pack updates the HPC Pack 2008 R2 products listed in the 'System Requirements' section. It provides improved reliability as well as an enhanced feature set including:
  
  • The Windows Azure bursting scenarios has reduced the number of ports you have to open in your firewall, using port 443 for most communication
  • The ability to install the HPC Pack software on a server not dedicated to your cluster (e.g. a team file server) for use in a manner similar to the existing Workstation Node functionality
