I want to know the recommended cpu core for IBM SPSS Statistics Server version 30. Statistics Server is currently planned to be deployed on windows server 2019 and when I looked at the documentation regarding system requirements, there is nothing about cpu core, so I am wondering. The number of users using Statistics Server is 24.

Hi @HyukSoo Chang. I reached out and was provided the following information. Hope it helps:

Pricing of Statistics Server is PVU based, while sizing is based on cores.  Each Core is rated from 70 PVU/Core to 120 PVU/Core depending on the system architecture.As a very general rule of thumb, one core can accommodate 7 simultaneous SPSS processes.  A process would be a batch job or an interactive session.  Thus if three users would be hitting the server simultaneously and there were 4 batch jobs running, they would be at full capacity.Another caveat: Sizing should begin with no less than two cores.  A single core would be choked by system overhead, so a minimum of two cores is recommended.To determine PVU, the IBM PVU Calculator can be found on the IBM website.
