Hi Members,

We have two servers
1) Application server(IIS)
2) Database server(ms sql server)

One of the reports in the application is complex and takes time to load which leads to server timeout error and many more.
Hence thinking of building same report in ssrs.

report access has to be given to client, therefore report need to be hosted on application server.

So will it be possible to host ssrs report on iis server.
After doing some research on internet, its found that ssrs report can only run on those servers which have ssrs services installed.

1) will it be possible to host ssrs report on iis server ?
2) Is it necessary to have ssrs services to run SSRS reports ?

Yes, of course. You have to install it, that's all. And yes, you need SSRS installed to offer SSRS reports.

SSRS is not great, and it won't speed up your reports, the speed issue is almost certainly your data layer, which SSRS will also use.
