Power
BI Report Server is similar to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Power BI Report
Server is on premises, and hosts paginated reports in addition to the Power BI features. There are several
types of reports
- Paginated (standard SSRS type reports)
- Interactive (PowerBI Desktop)
- Mobile
- Analytical (Excel)
PowerBI Pro enables sharing and collaboration with the following features
- Build dashboards that deliver a 360-degree, real-time view of the business
- Keep data up-to-date automatically, including on-premises sources
- Collaborate on shared data
- Audit and govern how data is accessed and used
- Package content and distribute to users with app
There is increased functionality within PowerBI
Pro. A comparison between the free PowerBI desktop edition and Pro version is in the table below. Only Pro users
can publish content to app workspaces, consume apps without Premium capacity,
share dashboards and subscribe to dashboards and reports. Free users can
connect to all data sources using connectivity options such as DirectQuery,
live connection and use the data gateway.
Licensing Power BI
Report Server
Power BI Report Server is available in two different license
modes:
- Power BI Premium
- SQL Server Enterprise
Edition with
Software Assurance.
A Power BI Premium license enables creation of a hybrid deployment
(cloud and on-premises).
Capacity
The session delivered
by Isabelle Van Campenhoudt at SQL Saturday Cambridge shared this useful capacity planning paper. It is based on the sample Power BI Report Server topology
using virtual machines.
