EPDM 2014 + Windows Server 2012 - Server Requirements

Hi,

in process of implementing EPDM in a company, client is going to start with EPDM 2014.

He has two servers , one with Win 2012 Standard  and other with windows 2012 essentials

He asks me to put the database on windows 2012 standard and Vault files on Windows 2012 essentials

is this possible, will the Fle server run on Windows 2012 Essentials?

or by opposite: running the sql and database server on windows 2012 essentials and file server running on windows 2012 standar
