SAS Anti-Money Laundering is available for both distributed and non-distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server deployments. These system requirements apply to both LASR deployments. The headings below indicate whether components apply to a specific LASR deployment.
SAS Anti-Money Laundering includes the following software:
It also includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS engines of choice for SAS Anti-Money Laundering:
SAS Anti-Money Laundering includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS engines of choice for SAS Enterprise Case Management:
Because the Quality Knowledge Base for English is required, an additional Quality Knowledge Base in a language of your choice is also included in your license.
SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale products are included with the software order. SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data products must be downloaded from the SAS Downloads and Hotfixes site.
SAS Data Management Data Server includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data of choice.
SAS Data Management Data Server also includes two standard SAS/ACCESS engines of choice, and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice. In addition, General Industry Standards is included automatically.
Although SAS Data Management Server is supported on z/OS, it has some limitations related to connectivity or functionality.
SAS Data Quality Standard Server includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice.
It also includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data of choice.
SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server is only required when the SAS Data Quality Standard Server is running on 32-bit Windows. SAS Visual Process Orchestration must be installed on a separate machine, however, because it does not support 32-bit Windows.
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes the following two LASR components:
It also includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice.
We recommend installing SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting server on a separate machine.
SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice.
The operating system where you install SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server must be the same as the operating system for the SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server.
Co-located storage for Teradata and Greenplum is no longer supported for new installations. To load data in parallel from these providers, use the SAS Embedded Process. To use the SAS Embedded Process, you must install the appropriate SAS/ACCESS engine on the server tier.
Note: Base SAS, SAS/ACCESS, and SAS Visual Analytics can either be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware (symmetric) or on separate hardware from the commodity hardware (asymmetric). This architecture enables you to install the SAS Visual Analytics, Distributed LASR server-tier Base SAS components on Windows for x64 while working with the Linux for x64 LASR grid.
Apache Hadoop software is distributed with SAS software as a convenience. For support information, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/ApacheHadoopSupport.html.
SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:
The disk I/O performance of any server-class system should be sufficient. Memory requirements are highly dependent on the product mix and usage, but 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for most large deployments. For many deployments, 4 GB of RAM are sufficient and should be considered a minimum, unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.
Note: SAS Anti-Money Laundering includes SAS Enterprise Case Management. Use of SAS Enterprise Case Management outside of a SAS Anti-Money Laundering context requires licensing for the full SAS Enterprise Case Management product.
In most deployments, this server is installed on the same machine as the SAS Alert Generation Server.
When you install your SAS solution software, SAS Deployment Manager installs and configures the required web application servers and web servers.
To install these servers, select one of the supported operating systems for the middle tier.
Note: These servers cannot be installed on the z/OS or 32-bit Windows platforms.
