Modern BI Fundamentals:
Architecture & Security

Explore the advantages of a cloud-first analytics strategy


Date: August 25, 2020  |  Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST |  Format: Online Session

Continuing our series on the fundamentals of Modern BI adoption, BlueGranite presents a free online event focused on cloud-first BI architecture and security.

 

What does it take to successfully implement Modern BI with Microsoft Power BI in a way that considers organizational needs surrounding data availability, governance, licensing, and security? Previous events have taken a general approach to deployment strategy and data governance. Now we apply some of the concepts from prior events to a sample Power BI implementation.

In this webinar, you will learn how the “what” and “why” for planning a Power BI architecture that aligns with an example enterprise use case. You’ll gain experience with the end-to-end architecture of Power BI.

You will hear tips on topics such as workspace design and security, app security, and row-level security. You will learn about licensing, when you might need Power BI Premium, how to plan for and deploy an appropriately sized Gateway cluster for handling on-premises data sources, and other topics that will help you as you approach or enhance a Power BI deployment. 


Session Agenda

  • Overview of Architecture for the Power BI Service

  • Security planning around workspaces, apps, and data sources (row-level security)

  • Capacity planning with Power BI Premium

  • Gateway planning for bridging on-premises and cloud

  • Secure file storage

  • Version history and management

This business lens presentation is open to anyone from Business or IT, whether you’re an analyst, executive, or developer. Examples are provided from Microsoft Power BI, but you do not need technical experience with Power BI to follow along with concepts.
