Hi Soumya
Great question. Can all the components of DevTest co-exist on the same machine ? Absolutely yes. This is the plain simple answer that I can give without knowing what your requirements are with respect to the following:
1. What are you going to use the product for ? Virtualization or Testing ?
2. If Virtualization, how many virtual services are you planning ? What is the expected throughput in terms of expected transactions per sec. How many concurrent users will access the VS ? Are you planning to run your VS in performance mode for load testing ?
3. If you are planning to use for testing, how many test cases are being planned ? Are you planning to do load testing ?
There may be more such questions with respect to the product usage that you could find out. This would help suggest a robust deployment architecture.
I am aware of customers who use dedicated servers to run their VSE environments. You may have multiple VSE services run on the same system or run on different systems.
IF testing is your priority, then SIMULATOR services can be deployed on Dedicated machines if the expected load is going to be high.
Bottom line, try to find out how the product is going to be used today and what will be the expected usage growth for next 12-24 months. When you plan for a deployment Architecture, we should make sure the architecture can scale well for future expansion needs as well.

Hi All,
Require your support on the below questions:
1 Server requirements -
For installing the CA Dev Test SV components (Server + Workstation + VSE + IAM etc.) what are the server requirements. Can all of them be
installed in a single server or not. I went through the documentation but bit confused. This will be for a full fledge customer . So needed to what is
the best practice for the same.
2 Any Pre-Installed software required for DevTest components. (If virtualizing SAP calls etc.)
