Hi @mahavishnu ,

 

There are two different types of gateways, each for a different scenario:

  • On-premises data gateway allows multiple users to connect to multiple on-premises data sources. You can use an on-premises data gateway with all supported services, with a single gateway installation. This gateway is well-suited to complex scenarios with multiple people accessing multiple data sources.

  • On-premises data gateway (personal mode) allows one user to connect to sources, and can’t be shared with others. An on-premises data gateway (personal mode) can be used only with Power BI. This gateway is well-suited to scenarios where you’re the only person who creates reports, and you don't need to share any data sources with others.

 

And for Power BI report server, gateway is not required.

 

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao

Hi, there is a personal and standard gateway. Roughly, the difference is that the personal gateway is used for one specific user while the standard gateway can be used by the entire organization. You can find the detailed differences here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/gateway/
