Hi Malak,

Nothing would prevent you from achieving an all-in-one setup. I am doing exactly that on my work computer. While this is appropriate for trial and casual use, it is not appropriate for production purpose. There are a few reasons:

1. Possible resource contention between components. 
2. It is not good for HA and DR purpose.
3. This also introduces security risks. For example, you would not want your normal IT staff to get access to sensitive information that may be exposed in the process while maintaining your environment. 
4. This configuration is also not suitable for future scaling either as you add more capacity into the environment. In Blue Prism, people commonly scale out as oppposed to scale up. A single machine setup will not last long, so why doing it in the first place?

Hope this helps.
