Power BI Gateway – Enterprise is now in preview!

[mininair]

Today we announced the preview release of Enterprise Gateway with direct query support to SQL Server. After Personal Gateway, Enterprise gateway is the next step in our gateway story. You can read more about its features and capabilities here - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2015/12/02/announcing-preview-of-power-bi-gateway-for-enterp...

With Enterprise Gateway, you can centrally manage and control access to your on-premises data sources from Power BI. Today’s release supports direct query to SQL Server. Support for Analysis Services is coming very soon…

Give it a try and share your feedback with us. You can post the comments here or send your feedback to hybridbi@microsoft.com

I am very exicted to try this. I am looking forward to having this flexibility with my data.

Are we able to use the Enterprise gateway when a PB Desktop file has an ImportData connection to SQL Server and is uploaded to PB web? I see that DirectQuery works fine but can't seem to get ImportData to work.

Hi Andy,

The current release of the gateway only supports direct query to SQL server. Import and refresh is coming soon. You can use Personal Gateway for this.
