Alvin, We use the same hardware for VCL blades and also offer SPSS image. Currently we have 10 VMs assigned per blade (i.e. 10 simultaneous reservations), which seems to be working well.
VM computers are configured with 2 vCPU / 4GB. Blades are loaded with VMware ESXi 4.1. The performance will also depend on storage configuration. Thanks.
