Need help in Power BI Embedded capacity planning

[Jai_Bankar]

Hello All,

Can I get a help in planning a capacity for Power BI Embedded.

1.If A1 node is considered, how many concurrent users can use it. Also what is dataset limit for A1 node.

2.How will it work when direct query is used

And similarly for rest of nodes. A2,A3,A4,A5 and A6.

I search a lot, but could not find the expected.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, @Jai_Bankar ;

You could refer the official document.

SKU memory and computing power

The table below describes the resources and limits of each SKU.

SKU MEMORY AND COMPUTING POWER

Capacity Nodes	Total v-cores	Backend v-cores	RAM (GB)	Frontend v-cores	DirectQuery/Live Connection (per sec)	Model Refresh Parallelism
EM1/A1	1	0.5	2.5	0.5	3.75	1
EM2/A2	2	1	5	1	7.5	2
EM3/A3	4	2	10	2	15	3
P1/A4	8	4	25	4	30	6
P2/A5	16	8	50	8	60	12
P3/A6	32	16	100	16	120	24
P4/A7 1	64	32	200	32	240	48
P5/A8 1	128	64	400	64	480	96

According to my understanding, the work of DQ is the same as usual. The query speed will be different for different capacity nodes, as shown in the table.

Hi, @v-yalanwu-msft 
Can you please help me in understanding what does the DirectQuery/Live connection (per sec) value means?.

Hi， @Jai_Bankar ；

DirectQuery/Live Connection (per sec) means the max number of data sources connected to DQ or LC per sec (used in memory).
