    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. 2006, Hossein Bidgoli, Handbook of Information Security
    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. 2011, Michael Michael, Hector Linares, Mastering Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, page 52
    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. 2015, Byron Wright, Brian Svidergol, Virtualizing Desktops and Apps with Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out
    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. 2016, Jordan Krause, Mastering Windows Server 2016, page 115
