SSAS
SQL Server Analysis Services
Do not install SSAS on the SQL Server machine unless you have a good reason.Â
A good reason would be something like... you can't get budget to license a separate machine and you are licensed per individual virtual machine rather than per physical server with software assurance (aka "Maximum Virtualisation"). i.e. it's better to take a performance hit than run improperly licensed software.It makes performance troubleshooting more difficult
It makes patching and upgrades more difficult
It makes HA more difficult
Install on a dedicated machine if you can.
