Hello,
Fairly new to the mining aspect of cryptocurrency so please bear with me.
I currently have excess servers (3) in my data center which i'm looking to utilize for Monero/Aeon mining but i'm not sure where to start. I currently have ESXi 5.5 installed on each server with multiple virtual machines deployed.
q1: Can I mine from VMs running on the ESXi server?
q2: Is it better to install a Windows/Linux OS directly on the server and mine that way?
q3: With the configuration/hardware I have, should I consider sole mining?
Server configuration;
One server has 2 processors, each Processor has the following
Intel Xeon X5690
CPU Stepping: 2
Speed: 3.466 GHz
Number of Threads: 12
Number of Cores: 6
=================
Total Memory (MB): 196608
Thank you in advance, any information is much appreciated.
