Power BI has evolved from it's early years as an Excel 2010 add-in to the Enterprise Analytics platform it is today. Analysts develop solution with Power BI Desktop, share their solutions in the Power BI Service (a cloud based analytics Platform As A Service [PasS]).
For some organizations, the cloud may be a difficult chasm to cross… For those customers, Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) offers another possibility - Power BI hosting in YOUR data center.
In this session we will look at the requirements to license and run PBIRS, what it will do and what it will not do. We will demonstrate the report consumption and navigation capabilities, and look at how it augments the offering of SQL Server Reporting Services and the Power BI Premium offerings.
Power BI Report Server isn't the solution for all organization, but for some it makes for a great first step towards a possible hybrid-cloud solution in the future. The future IS the cloud, so perhaps, PBIRS may be you bridge across the cloud chasm.
