As noted SSAS, SSIS & SSRS can use all the memory available. However, they can work with less memory although not as fast.

SQL Server, SSIS, SSAS and SSRS on ONE Server
Best practice dictates that we use a separate server for each of these SQL Server Services. And this seems logical because otherwise these services will compete over server resources. In IT we call this competition: contention.
However there are some great reasons to put these services on one box:
- Licensing: SQL Server licensing can be expensive. And you need licenses for every server on which a services runs.
- Better resource utilization: Less servers, less power usage, less maintenance and -monitoring cost.
- Sometimes the network is the problem as a lot of data moves from the SQL Engine to SSIS or SSAS resulting in network congesting. If services run on the same machine, SQL Server uses the Shared Memory Protocol which is faster and leads to less network congestion. "
