This answer I've been waiting, but please do not get me wrong, I'm thankful for that.

Of course I'm a beginner in this topic, because of that I try to carry Information about it.
I'm aware that there is no general statement to give, when I asked "how to build a cluster".
It don't have to be a cluster for thousands of people with just more than 500 nodes, just for institut (15 - 20 user). But before it can be built, used .... Someone have to inform. And this is my part. I'm searching for sources to inform, unfortunately there are less sources, respectively I don't find them.

My intention is to begin at point zero of the hpc-topic and then to make gradually steps to the wright direction. For that I have hardware to test to build a "little" cluster to get first experience.

The goal of the entire project is to decide, whether to built the needed cluster on my own. As always, the point is to save costs.
