SSAS Tabular Mode in SQL Server 2016 Standard

[alexanderg]

Hi Everyone!

In SQL Server 2016 Standard is it possible to implement SSAS models in tabular mode? If so .. what disadvantages or considerations would have to be dealing with the Standard version and not the Enterprise. I am planning to deploy a Power BI Solution having a SSAS Tabular Model as a Back End.
