Power BI Premium
Power BI Premium uses the Power BI Report Server to deploy and distribute Power BI reports on-premises. This enables you to continue maintaining reports locally and switch to the cloud when your company is ready. The issues of big business deployments and workloads are addressed by Power BI Premium. Instead of relying on Microsoft’s shared capacity, it allows your organization to employ its hardware and dedicated capacity. You’ll need to make sure you have enough for your reporting and analytical needs and give that capacity. If you size it right, this enables a much greater scale and better performance. Microsoft offers three Premium capacity options with varying v-core counts and memory capacities. These features can be summarized as shown below,
With a Power BI Premium Per User (PPU), per-user license, the license holder has access to all Power BI Pro features as well as the majority of Premium capacity-based features. Access to several features, functionalities, and kinds of content that are exclusively accessible through Premium is made possible with a Power BI PPU subscription. Only the PPU license holder and those coworkers who own PPU licenses are permitted access. For instance, all users need to acquire PPU licenses to collaborate and share content in a PPU workspace. Unless specifically placed in a workspace hosted in a Premium capacity, content created by a PPU-licensed user can only be shared with other PPU-licensed users while using a PPU license.

Power BI Free vs Power BI Pro vs Power BI Premium
Power BI is a Microsoft software package that allows users to connect to a variety of data sources and produce interactive reports that provide an understanding of the underlying data. The idea for Power BI was first developed in late 2010 and released as “Project Crescent” the following year. In 2013, the platform’s name was changed to “Power BI” (where “BI” stands for “Business Intelligence”). The product was initially built on the Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power View add-ins for Excel. Power BI works together with these first three fundamentals:
- Power BI Desktop: A desktop application for data extraction, data modeling, dashboard creation, and report creation. Windows desktop software called Power BI Desktop.
- Power BI service: An online SaaS (Software as a Service) application is the Power BI service.
- Power BI Mobile Apps: Power BI offers mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows, that allows user to interact with Power BI dashboards and reports.
These three elements—Power BI Desktop, the service, and the mobile apps—allow you to develop, share, and apply business insights in the most advantageous manner for you and your position. In addition, there are a few other components like Power BI Gateway, Power BI Embedded, and Power BI API that cater to specific needs. The following two elements are also part of Power BI in addition to those three:
- Power BI Report Server: A server for usage when businesses want to publish internal dashboards and analytics but preserve this data behind a corporate firewall. Use the Power BI Report Builder to create paginated reports that can be shared through the Power BI service.
- Power BI Market Place: It is a platform where third parties can create visualizations that consumers can use for particular purposes and occasionally pay for.
