    No, Power BI Report Server is a product on its own and does not need any SSRS as prerequisite.

To use Power BI on premises, you need to use two things:

  1. Power BI Report Server (that includes the tranditional paginated and Mobile Reports that ships with SSRS as well).  You can download it from here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/report-server/
  2. You also need Power BI Desktop optmized for Report Server, also available from the link above (See advanced download options).

If your work is using SSRS in native mode, you should be able to migrate to PBI Report Server without technical problems and also take advantage of Power BI type visualizations. Of course you just need to make sure you have the proper licenses.

Thanks pbx.

I just want to clarify something . If I understand correct "Power BI Report Server " should be installed on reporting services ??

If yes does it have to be 2017 or 2016 satisfy  ?

 

Thanks
