Generally speaking, in a shared computing system, such as a server farm shared by multiple cohosted Web sites, common resources can be categorized into two different types: those shared in time and those shared in space.

If you choose to cohost specific components on the same server (e.g., VMM server and database), please keep in mind that each has its own performance characteristics and resource requirements.

For small and midsize scenarios, which commonly address an environment with a small number of users and few packages in a single geographical site, you might cohost all of the roles on a single server.

However, it is not a Microsoft-recommended installation path and you should build your CAs on their own servers; try not to cohost them with other roles whenever possible.
