Same gateway for different companies possible?

Hi,

 

I have 10 different companies and I want to create a data model for each of them from the same PowerBI premium license (each company has it owns workspace). Each of the 10 companies have local data meaning I need a gateway to acess the data.

 

How can I create a "standard" or "general" gateway I can use for each company?

Thank you in advance!

  • Please clarify what you mean by each company. Are they different businesses with data sources hosted on different networks?

    If all the companies have their own "local" data sources, I suggest you build a data foundation first (data mart/data warehouse) and the layer Power BI on top.

  • As long as the server / computer you install the gateway on has access to all the sources and your admin user has access to all the tenants it should work I guess.

      They are different companies with different data that needs an gateway acess. The data is not large, so I do not need a datawarehouse/mart so work with it. The question is if I can make a generel gateway setup I can use across all companies?

        Yes. If each company's data is accessible from the server where you are installing the gateway, one gateway should be enough.
