On-premises Data Gateway On- Data source connection credentials can premises only be decrypted by the gateway data SQL Server Other SQL Server Files, SharePoint sources Analysis Services data sources What is an On-premises Data Gateway • Secured, and optimized communication channel to use with your cloud services (Power BI, PowerApps, Microsoft Flow, Power Query Online, Azure Analysis Services, Azure Logic Apps) • The gateway is not a general purpose/bi-directional VPN • The gateway installs on any domain-joined machine • Outbound traffic only • You don’t have to install it on a DMZ, or open your firewall for inbound traffic fanen ”Hjem”. • The gateway enables data/API connectivity • It’s orthogonal to how you consume/integrate Dashboards, Reports, Flows or Apps on top of these gateway connections (e.g. browser app, mobile app, API calls) What is an On-premises Data Gateway • The Gateway uses an Azure Service Bus Relay to communicate between on-premises data sources and cloud services. • Azure Service Bus infrastructure is automatically provisioned, managed, and owned by the Gateway Cloud Service. • Enables a self-service, low-friction installation, configuration, and runtime of gateways. fanen ”Hjem”. • Unless the gateway is up and running, connections & requests won’t pass through the gateway • No queuing or caching of query requests or data on the on-premises gateway or the communication pipeline to the cloud.
