i run https://zeromac.com https://zeromac.com , a hosting service for Mac VMs. i charge by the hour. the margins aren't as lucrative as a traditional software startup. i'm considering two new offerings: 1. lower-priced option where the servers would be overcommitted. 2. bringing up a SAN (VMs currently run on local storage) and charging for storage and compute time separately. this would also enable things like spinning up VM based on a custom disk images.

is it possible to install software on a VM like this? what would the latency be like ? for example how fast is mouse movement. Are these dedicated machines?
