It used to be very bad to have DB and CF on the same server, but I'm not sure that's still the case ... probably depends largely on the RDBMS you're using. In any event, it is certainly best practice to have production boxes separate. Running dozens of databases (or even 100) on a single DB

You will never get the best performance having them on the same server, but disks is the real bottleneck. As long as you have your databases running of a different physical disk than everything else then you can get away with having it all on one machine, more so if you can isolate the CPU's or
