db servers separate hardware

[Patty OReilly]

Management wants to consolidate services where possible at our site. We
have always adhered to the recommended practice of keeping our Database
servers running vlserver, kaserver, ptserver and buserver on separate
machines from our Fileservers. Now they want us to consolidate these
services and run all AFS server processes on our Fileservers. 

Does anyone have any information pro or con that could help us decide
whether consolidation of Fileservers and DBservers would be successful?
