A SAS environment is
a complete, self-contained, fully functioning deployment of SAS applications.
Environments in the SAS Cloud are deployed by using virtualization
technology. This
technology makes environments easy to create and manage.
A typical environment
includes the following:
-
data storage that can be populated
with your organization’s data
-
virtualized software, servers,
and services that perform various types of processing
-
virtualized client applications
through which users can access SAS functionality
-
the following administrative interfaces:
-
SAS Management Console (for tasks
such as assigning application roles, granting permissions, and organizing
content)
-
SAS vApp Ledger, which provides
a virtual machine-level view of applications that are packaged as
vApps (for example, SAS Visual Analytics)
-
SAS vApp Data Manager, which enables
you to upload data to a secured location for applications that are
packaged as vApps (for example, SAS Visual Analytics)
SAS provides a ready-to-use environment for each SAS
product that you have licensed. To manage the environment, you need
to specify which of your organization’s users are authorized
to access the environment. You
can also edit the environment’s name and add a description.
