Power BI Gateway
Introduction
MS PowerBI Gateway creates the connection between MS PowerBI cloud-based data analysis ecosystem and the INDEXIMA CLUSTER located on-premises. MS Gateway is an application that can be installed on any server in the local domain. The MS PowerBI Gateway is responsible for creating the connection and passing data through.
