Microsoft 365 Power Bi Premium

Description

Power BI Premium is a robust analytics platform with advanced features and dedicated resources.

Purpose and Functionality:

  • Hosted Service (SaaS): Power BI Premium allows you to host datasets and share Power BI reports and dashboards within your organization.
  • No Individual Licensing Requirement: Unlike Power BI Pro, recipients of reports and dashboards shared via Premium do not need individual licenses.
  • Reliable Performance: Premium provides dedicated hardware and capacity hosted by Microsoft, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

Enhancements and Features:

  • Improved Metrics: Capacity performance depends solely on CPU usage, and metrics are easily understood using the Microsoft Fabric Capacity Metrics app.
  • Autoscale: An optional feature that prevents slowdowns caused by overloading. Autoscale automatically adds v-cores to the capacity when needed.
  • Capacity and SKUs: Capacity is a reserved set of resources for exclusive use, offering dependable performance.

Workspaces:

  • Workspaces reside within capacities.
  • Each user has a personal workspace called My Workspace.
  • Additional workspaces can be created for collaboration.

Power BI Premium offers scalability, advanced analytics, and enterprise-wide sharing capabilities, making it a powerful choice for organizations seeking comprehensive data insights
