Is it possible to host the BB server and SQL database on the same hardware?
We have BES 4.0 and are using MSDE

Is this an Exchange system?

[mahi]

Yes its Exchange server

Should be fine. Bit confused by your first post as you mention MSDE and SQL Server.
Assuming it is MSDE, no problem

[mahi]

Thank you for prompt response.

What excatly I refer is that, can we have Blackberry and SQL server database shared on same server hardware? I am sorry for any confusion regarding this.

Yes. It does depend on the specs for the server and the number of users.

Isn't it recommended to have BES on a separate standalone machine? I've noticed that after we separated the two servers (virtualized BES), we got much better performance.

It depends on the size and shape of the environment.
There's no "one solution fits all" for BES implementations.
