One
of the most powerful benefits of SAS LASR Analytic Server
is the ability to read data in parallel from a co-located data provider.
In this configuration, the SAS LASR Analytic Server software
is installed on the same hardware as the data provider. The currently
supported data providers are the following:
-
SAS High-Performance Deployment of Hadoop
-
Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance
-
Greenplum Data Computing Appliance
SAS Visual Data Builder
excels at accessing data from a variety of data sources, performing
basic data preparation, and then staging the prepared data with a
co-located data provider. After the data is staged, the server can
load the data to memory for exploration, reporting, and further in-memory
data preparation.
The
SAS Deployment Wizard registers a default library for the SAS LASR Analytic Server
and a library for the co-located data provider. For the third-party
vendor products, the default library name and location are as follows:
Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance

Data/SAS Visual Analytics/Public/Visual Analytics Public Teradata
Greenplum Data Computing Appliance
