The web tier provides
an environment in which the data management web applications, such
as SAS Business Data Network, SAS Visual Process Orchestration, and
SAS Lineage, can execute. These products run in a web application
server and communicate with the user by sending data to and receiving
data from the user's web browser. The applications rely on servers
on the SAS server tier to perform SAS processing.
The SAS Web Server and
SAS Web Application Server provide a highly scalable, easy-to-manage
environment that is dedicated to running SAS web applications. The
SAS Web Server provides static HTTP content to users. It forwards
requests for dynamic content to the SAS Web Application Server, which
provides an execution environment for applications and services.
The SAS Web Infrastructure
Platform is a collection of services and applications that provide
common infrastructure and integration features to be used by SAS web
applications.
These services and
applications provide the following benefits:
-
consistency in installation, configuration,
and administration tasks for web applications
-
greater consistency in users' interactions
with web applications
-
integration among web applications
as a result of the ability to share common resources
