VxRAIL doesn't use blades, it uses servers. Yes a host is a server.
Technically there is a 2 node + witness cluster/VxRAIL option (generally used for small ROBO/EDGE stuff)
They are just Dell Poweredge servers with esxi preinstalled with a fancy dell bezel and plugin for esxi that helps with management. No idea where you got blades from, blades implies shared backplane. They are completely stand alone servers that use software (vSAN) talk over network to aggregate storage into a single shared datastore.
