Hi,
During the last few months I've started to invest in this market of cryptocurrencies and now I'm starting to build my first GPU-based mining rig. I shared my experience with a few friends of mine and quite soon we realized that we all want to create a large-scale infrastructure. Basically I am talking about creating a datacenter for mining.
We have lot free space, terrains, solar panels and most important one of us has factory that is already consuming megawatts of energy. We can also manufacture custom stuff of any material directly on site (e.g. racks to contain most of the components). The idea was to start next month with something like 50 GPU and few Antminers just for fun and eventually go for a large-scale infrastructure if it's worth with hundreds of ASIC and GPU. Obviously we have money to support this project and we won't cry if it's a total failure. We can stand that.
This may seem like an odd question but what are the best practice to create a mining datacenter? Keep in mind that more or less I know how to "play" with a conventional datacenter for hosting providers (it was my old job). I suppose that ASIC/GPU miners and servers share many aspects, requirements, dos and don'ts. No dust, low temperatures, ventilation and stuff like that but is there something peculiar or relevant on which I should focus for an ecosystem made of miners?
Thank you for your time
