Does CUCM need to be on it's own UCS blade

[stephen.collum]

We have two UCS blade servers that are exclusively running our MediaSense, Unified Communications, and Unity VMs. These blades are being grossly underutilized and I am wondering if there is a requirement to have those VMs isolated on their own ESXi hosts? I would like to move the blades and VMs into our production cluster so the physical resources can be better utilized by the general population. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
