The data gateway acts as a bridge that enables Power BI to access, refresh, and interact
with data from on-premises data sources such as databases, file servers, and other
systems. The data gateway helps maintain the security and privacy of your data by
allowing you to control the flow of data between your on-premises environment and the
cloud-based Power BI service.

Key features and functions of the Power BI data gateway include:

Data Refresh: The data gateway enables scheduled data refresh for Power
BI reports and datasets that connect to on-premises data sources. This
ensures that your reports always display the most up-to-date information.
Data Source Connectivity: It supports various data sources, including SQL
Server, Oracle, SharePoint, and more. It can also work with different
connection types, such as DirectQuery, Live Connection, and Import.
Data Privacy and Security: The gateway helps maintain the security of
your data by allowing you to configure data source credentials and control
access to on-premises data.
On-Premises Data Movement: The gateway doesn't move data to the
cloud. Instead, it acts as a pass-through mechanism, transmitting data
securely between your on-premises data sources and the cloud-based
Power BI service.
High Availability: You can set up high-availability configurations for the
gateway to ensure uninterrupted access to your on-premises data
sources.
