We are planning to implement an on-premises Power BI environment to support 5,000 users. I would appreciate your guidance on the following:

Hardware Requirements: What would be the recommended hardware specifications for this deployment, considering the scale and anticipated user load?
Multi-Location Accessibility: How can we efficiently manage the setup to ensure seamless access for users located across multiple locations?

Hi, Iamirzasad

I am glad to help you.

Hardware Requirements:

For a deployment of this scale, consider the following hardware specifications:

Processor: Minimum 2.0 GHz or faster, x64 processor (e.g., Intel Xeon, AMD Opteron)

Memory: Minimum 4 GB, but recommended 16 GB or more for optimal performance

Storage: Minimum 1 GB of available hard-disk space, but more will be required for the database server

Operating System: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, or Windows Server 2016 Datacenter

Database Server: SQL Server 2019 or later

Multi-Location Accessibility:

To ensure seamless access for users across multiple locations, consider the following:

Load Balancing: Implement load balancers to distribute traffic evenly across multiple servers.

Content Delivery Network (CDN): Use a CDN to cache content closer to users, reducing latency.

VPN or Direct Connect: For secure access, consider using VPNs or direct connections between locations.

High Availability Setup: Ensure your setup includes redundancy and failover mechanisms to maintain uptime.
