Operating System Requirements and Tuning for 64-Bit SPD Server

The operating system level requirements for SPD Server 5.1 on a given platform are the same requirements needed for SAS 9.4. For complete information about platform requirements for SAS SPD Server on SAS 9.4, see the information available in Usage Note 42197, via the online SAS Knowledge Base Samples and SAS Notes web page: http://support.sas.com/kb/42/197.html. The technical papers on this page are useful for troubleshooting system performance problems.
Some operating system owners provide white papers that help to tune SAS and SPD server for best results on their platform. For example, IBM provides information at http://www.sas.com/en_us/partners/find-a-partner/alliance-partners/ibm.html#white-papers. You can find a list of SAS Alliance Partners such as IBM here: http://www.sas.com/en_us/partners/find-a-partner.html#alliance-partners.
