Reporting services scale out deployment

  • I have a question about Report services scale out deployment.

    In the technet document it states that reporting services must be Enterprise edition for scale out deployment functionality, does anyone know if the database engine has to be Enterprise also, or can it be standard edition?

    Here is the article excerpt from technet:

    /*

    The Reporting Services edition must be Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation. Standard edition does not support a scale-out deployment. You can create a scale-out deployment using a combination of editions as long as the edition supports the scale-out feature.

    */

    Thanks in advance.

  • Database can be on standard edition.  Just the RS instance needs to be enterprise

  • This assumes that your databases are on a different server from your RS server, as there's no reason not to use Enterprise on both if they are on the same server, from a licensing perspective.

    I'm not a huge fan of full SQL Server licensing being required for just the RS front end, but that's what we're stuck with.
