SQL Standard Edition OK for ESB Toolkit?

Question

Hi all
is there anything in the ESB toolkit that requires SQL Enterprise Edition rather than standard edition?
The two-node cluster limit it ok but is there anything lurking in the restrictions to Analysis Services that would cause a problem?

thanks

Hi,

The main difference between SQL standard and enterprise is still on scalability and BI parts. For example, the 2 nodes limitation on clustering. 

As I known, there is no special ESB feature depends on features that SQL enterprise has but standard not.
