Microsoft added muscle to Power BI Report Server (PBRS), its on-premises self-service analytics and enterprise reporting solution, in the latest preview release.

A Power BI report connects to a single dataset and will have at least one report page, but it can have many pages. In order to build reports in Power BI, the only thing you really need is data.

BI (business intelligence) vendors this week will unleash a raft of new and upgraded products with a focus on aggregating multiple data sources to enhance insight into corporate information.

Microsoft today announced that Power BI, the company's cloud-hosted self-service business intelligence service, will hit general availability on July 24.
