4. What Premium option do we have?
Premium is not a Licence type, it refers to the dedicated capacity and hardware owned by Microsoft, and because of that infrastructure it allows us to share, store and collaborate easier.
What Premium option do we have?
Noisy neighbors’ isolation
I also didn’t realise that you thought there was double standards. I thought the deal was that if one of us was upset by something then we were supposed to tell the other, but I feel like I can’t really do that because it always ends in a fight. I’ve also been trying to keep more stuff to myself after you told me that you felt like I just cried every time you said something negative. I was pretty embarrassed by that.

7. GATEWAY AS A SERVICE
The Gateway is a mechanism to improve users’ ability to refresh data from on-prem data sources
On launch it is the recommendation that the Gateway is only set up for SQL Server data sources within the Firewall
As the service matures, other sources can be considered in the future but additional work will need to be carried out to work around limitations (OCDB drivers, firewall changes, data dictonaries)
