Report Server Implementation
**Looking for Suggestions from the Power BI Community** We’re currently working with a client who has a **strictly offline environment**—no internet access at all—and they are looking to implement **Power BI for reporting and dashboarding**. Here’s what we have: - A **64-core SQL Server** (no Software Assurance currently, and the previous SA has expired). - The client needs a **completely offline Power BI setup**—no Power BI Service, no cloud access. - We understand Power BI Premium license has undergone changes recently, and it seems some capabilities have been shifted or removed. We’re exploring options for on-premises deployment using **Power BI Report Server**, but we’re running into licensing limitations due to the lack of Software Assurance. **Our questions:** 1. What are the current options to legally obtain and use Power BI Report Server without SA? 2. Any alternatives to Power BI for fully offline environments you’ve successfully implemented? 3. How are teams handling the recent **Power BI Premium changes** in similar secure or air-gapped setups? 4. Any architectural or deployment best practices for fully offline Power BI environments? Any input, thoughts, or shared experiences would be hugely appreciated! #PowerBI #DataAnalytics #OnPremises #PowerBIReportServer #OfflineBI #SQLServer #EnterpriseReportingSolved4.6KViews0likes3Comments
