Policy Manager on Windows 2012r2

As far as Policy Manager Visualization , one of my  colleague  explains this perfectly;" It is possible to use a normal Virtual machine now (Windows or Linux) and run Policy Manager on that. It is repeatedly considered, here the usual thoughts:- It already can run on a "Standard" Virtual machine, and requires a lot of Windows\Linux libraries so cutting it down to an appliance wouldnt reduce the footprint by much.- The Policy Manager Server doesn't directly have comms over the Internet so the security requirements can be considered as lower.- Policy Manager is an application which can run on Servers running other applications, so dedicating a Server is maybe overkill. This is again a different environment to the ESRSv3 VM. For these reasons it's not such a high priority but is repeatedly considered.   "
