Hi, SMich 

 

Where to Install the On-Premises Data Gateway
The following are some considerations for where to install the data gateway.

  • The machine should always remain powered on, with near full-time uptime.

  • The gateway server should reside as close to the data sources as practical to minimize

    network latency.

  • An Azure virtual machine can be a good option to install a gateway if on-premises equipment is not available. In this situation, the VM should reside in the same region as the Power BI tenant unless there are other considerations such as proximity to the data

    or minimizing data egress charges.

  • The gateway must reside in the same domain as the data source(s), or in another domain which is trusted.

  • The gateway server requires strong network connectivity (preferably not wireless), high bandwidth, and consistent internet access. ExpressRoute or Azure Private Link is highly recommended. The Azure Speed Test site can be used to check network latency between a client machine and an Azure region.
  • A potential starting point for a gateway server is 8 CPU cores and 16GB RAM, as noted in the Gateway Best Practices. Plan to scale up on CPU and/or RAM if bottlenecks present themselves, and/or scale out to multiple gateways if the volume of traffic becomes heavier than one data gateway can handle.
