Good morning,

that is the classic answer, well it depends.  You say average hardware but there are a ton of variables that come into play.

cpu, number of cores, disk type, response time of disk etc.

Also, independent of the underlying infrastructure supporting the hypervisor, what about the disk setup for retain?  

All on one drive, several?

database, do you have that on separate disk and segregated across disk or disks?  When i say disks, i am referring to drives.

also the VM’s themselves.  Number of cores and cpu allocated

SAN connection assuming fiber or 10GBs, 40Gbs or?

this is somewhat borderline support question that can be checked against Config’s we have seen.  There should be a little more dialog to help get you to where you want to be.
