Need help in Power BI Embedded capacity planning

Hello All,

Can I get a help in planning a capacity for Power BI Embedded.

1.If A1 node is considered, how many concurrent users can use it. Also what is dataset limit for A1 node.

2.How will it work when direct query is used

And similarly for rest of nodes. A2,A3,A4,A5 and A6.

 

I search a lot, but could not find the expected.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi， Jai_Bankar ；

    DirectQuery/Live Connection (per sec) means the max number of data sources connected to DQ or LC per sec (used in memory).

    Hi, Jai_Bankar ;

    You could refer the official document.

    SKU memory and computing power

    The table below describes the resources and limits of each SKU.

    Capacity Nodes Total v-cores Backend v-cores RAM (GB) Frontend v-cores DirectQuery/Live Connection (per sec) Model Refresh Parallelism
    EM1/A1 1 0.5 2.5 0.5 3.75 1
    EM2/A2 2 1 5 1 7.5 2
    EM3/A3 4 2 10 2 15 3
    P1/A4 8 4 25 4 30 6
    P2/A5 16 8 50 8 60 12
    P3/A6 32 16 100 16 120 24
    P4/A7 1 64 32 200 32 240 48
    P5/A8 1 128 64 400 64 480 96

    According to my understanding, the work of DQ is the same as usual. The query speed will be different for different capacity nodes, as shown in the table.
