  Role Name	Description
  Special Load	Reserved for services to be isolated from other services, I.e. 3rd party, PerformancePoint, etc.
  Web Front End	Services end user requests, optimized for low latency.
  Single Server Farm	Provisions all services on the server for a single server deployment.  This role is provided for evaluation and development purposes.
  Search	Reserved for Search services.
  Application	Services the backend jobs or the requests triggered by backend jobs, optimized for high throughput.
  Distributed Cache	Services distributed cache for the farm. Optionally, the server assigned to this role can load balance end user requests among the web front ends.
