I have an on-prem server that currently has an Azure Data Management Gateway installed on it. Can I also install the Power BI Enterprise Gateway on that same on-prem server? If not, how should I go about installing the Power BI Enterprise Gateway?

My understanding is that it is not supported to install the new Power BI gateways on the same machine as the old Data Management Gateway. You should provision a new machine to install the Enterprise Gateway on.

The recommendation is to install it on the same machine as one of the data sources that you will be accessing to reduce latency.
