If we use a VM which has an oracle client installed and install the gateway there does this still work? Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of which you know? Because we do not want to install the gateway on the machine where the database is hosted. Thanks and bR

For your first question, Yes it will work. For your second question, your statement is absolutely correct -- for the best practice, you want to have a dedicated server for your Power BI Gateway. During Peak hours of Data Refreshing, Power BI Gateway consumes a large amount of CPU and memory, and this will hinder the performance on its server, and if you "share" the server with Oracle DB is hosted, the performance will be bad for both Oracle and Power BI. Hope this is helpful!
