What Is a Gateway?
In Microsoft Power BI, each model uses a gateway to get the data on which to build. There are two types of gateway: Concurrent Gateway. Think of a website that needs to download, format, analyze, and return a web page. Think of a website that needs to download, format, analyze, and return a web page. Concurrent Gateways. Think of a database that stores a table with many columns and many rows. The table can hold one or more data items, each row being a different data element. The database also provides navigation functionality, so a user can move through rows of rows by clicking on any row in the table. In both cases, the data needed by the model is stored in the database; so the data gets copied into the model, and the user navigates through the model by clicking on rows in the table.
What is Power BI Data Gateways?
Power BI Data Gateways allow you to share any piece of data you have in your workbooks from the desktop and to access the Power BI database from the web. This means you can run Power BI without having to install Power BI in your browser, and it's a very cool feature. These workflows are new in version 2017.5 of Power BI and we can create them as HTML files and run them directly from Microsoft Visual Studio. Here's what the documentation says about data gateways: With the release of Power BI 2017.5, we now have native Power BI APIs and connectors available. These are accessible through the web (via the Power BI website or Power BI Desktop) or our free Power BI Online cloud service.
Once you
publish your Barbier models from power bi desktop to powerbi.com. It becomes a
challenge to refresh them if you are using on-premise data sources and that is
where the power bi gateway comes in steps. It makes that possible by acting as
a bridge connecting Barbier.com to your On-premise data sources.

Why do You need a Power BI Gateway?
Power BI
gateways are very helpful when you need to connect your power bi files with
your on-premise data sources. For example, suppose I have an on-premise SQL
server and I need to connect with my power bi file and then on power bi
services I want to do a scheduled refresh which means that I want to refresh my
data at a particular interval it can be daily, weekly, or monthly. So according
to your schedule, you want to refresh your data in your power bi reports and
your data is lying on the on-premise data sources so for that you are going to
need a power bi data gateway.
The On-premise data gateway sits between your on-premise data sources and your cloud applications. RBI service is a cloud application and in order to connect with your on-premise data sources, there should be a link between bridges otherwise power bi service cannot refresh your data. In order to create that link, we need the power bi data gateway.
The Power BI Data Gateways for the GCL are managed over Ethernet. This may be an issue for some, depending on the implementation, Ethernet may or may not be available to the Power BI Users. It depends on the manufacturer and the implementation of its product. As mentioned earlier in this post, if you are having problems connecting to your Power BI Gateway then check to see if there is an existing workaround for your configuration. If there is a workaround for your configuration, then follow the workaround, or provide the workaround to get the best connection to the Power BI Gateway. Although this post isn’t specific to data gates, please keep in mind that many times the old limitation of the Microsoft connector can impact your ability to connect to a data gateway.
How does power bi manage gateways?
The power bi gateway allows you to connect to your various enterprise data sources that may be installed on-premise or in the cloud (We use Microsoft Azure for our own machine learning models). This is crucial when you want to combine machine learning models from multiple systems into one rich representation. The power bi gateway implements the following interfaces: GPI Hub - Distributed Gateway Management Protocol for Linux. CAPI/GPI - Global Initiated Application Programming Interface (API). LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. HAProxy - HTTP web server. Basic REST - RESTful web services. CNS - Command Line Interface. FSI - Java Grid Instance Manager.
How many types of gateways in power bi?
There
are two types of data gateways available. One is known as the standard model
and another is the personal mode.
Personal
mode is for just one user only that cannot be shared with anyone else while the
standard mode is also known as organizational board or enterprise mode and can
be shared by multiple users.
Power BI
databases are available in either SQL Server or Azure SQL databases. Where do
you put your gateways in SQL Server? On your main server? Do you need to manage
an external database for your gateways? Why not the cloud? Do I need to manage
gateways on my servers or all gateways on one power BI Gateway? What type of

Why install a power data gateway as a standard mode?
The reason is whenever you are working in an organization you are not the only one
who is going to manage those gateways you have to also assign another person or
an employee who is the developer in your organization as an admin to that
particular gateway and for that case you are going to need a standard mode data
gateway.
Working Of A Power BI Data Gateway
On-premise
data gateway is for the multiple cloud-based services that can be for your
azure analysis services as your logic apps power vi power automate
or power apps and also it's for the on-premise data sources. For example,
SQL server analysis services other data sources files Sharepoint, etc. so
this helps you to connect your on-premise data sources to the power bi
service or the cloud services and when it's gonna connect with your cloud
services first it decrypts data sources credentials and connects to the data
source then sends queries to the data source and return the results of the
gateway cloud service but in the case of the cloud services first it's gonna
connect with your gateway cloud service there it's gonna encrypt and store data
credentials and on-premise data gateway details and after that, it's gonna
roots queries and results between cloud services on-premises data gateway
and data source and then it's gonna connect via azure service bus that's
how it actually works.
Conclusion
Power BI Data Gateways
is a critical tool to manage a data warehouse, in a useful and valuable way.
Most of the queries which run in Power BI are querying multiple data sources,
for each database table, so you want to make sure those data sources are linked
and accessible. As I said before, connecting and accessing data sources with
Power BI is extremely important for many things, so it’s important that you
have a gateways tool, that you can use. Many of you already do. So what does
this gateway do? If you haven’t used Power BI Gateways yet, I recommend you
look at the multiple connector types, and pay attention to how you can manage, sort, and locate these connectors and data sources. The tool allows you to
select the data source you want to query.
