sorry its for server 2011 standard
Small Business Server 2011 performs these features by nature.
   As of this writing, I do not believe Server 2011 is available, unless you refer to Home Server 2011.

SBS 2011

SBS 2011 is available and has been for some time now. The limitation there is that you are only allowed 75 users/devices on the network if you have SBS 2011. It should also be noted that Remote Desktop Services won't install on a single SBS server. You have to have an additional server if you want Remote Desktop Services on your network with SBS.

If you don't want SBS, yes, it is *possible* to install all that on a single server. It just isn't a good idea to do so for a number of technical reasons. If you were to build a server that utilized VMWare or Hyper-V, it would be more secure to do so and you would overcome some of the technical issues, but also a bit more expensive.
