Power BI Personal Data Gateway architecture

Hello fellow Power BI Users,   My colleagues and I are comparing the Personal Data Gateway architecture to the Data Sources we defined in the Power BI for O365. We only have On-Prem data sources. ...

My understanding is that the personal gateway is not the final sate.  I think it is safe to assume that a lot more enterprise grade gateway functionality is coming.

So, the only gateway available for v2 is the personal gateway and each user that creates a dataset that requires a gateway for local files / supported connections must EACH install a personal gateway?

 

We are using O365 Enterprise and started testing with the original PowerBI and installed a gateway on a server which the admins can see/manage and any dataset from any user could use, but that does not appear possible (currently) in v2 - is that correct?

    that's correct, the data management gateway works for Power BI in Office 365, the only way to refresh data in PowerBI.com is to use the Personal gateway.  I would expect a more robust gateway solution to be available soon.

     

    As companies move more and more of their workloads in Azure a robust integration of data flow between on premise and the cloud becomes more and more important and there is no questions that Microsoft realizes that.
