SAS Banking Analytics Architecture consolidates data from multiple operational systems and makes it accessible for analytics and reporting. For example, data about deposits, loans, and wealth management is consolidated into a single platform, providing a complete, integrated view.
SAS Banking Analytics Architecture 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 ODBC Drivers for the Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server requires a 64-bit CPU, a 64-bit Operating System, 2 Gigabytes of memory, and a Dual CPU/Core RAID 1.

SAS Banking Analytics Architecture Data Integration Server includes two SAS/ACCESS Engines of choice and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.
SAS Banking Analytics Architecture Enterprise BI Server includes a SAS Enterprise BI Server subcomponent, which is available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
SAS OLAP Server includes a SAS OLAP Server subcomponent, which is available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes one standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. SAS recommends that you install SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate machine from the solution software.
Inclusion of SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server
For Hadoop Support
Base SAS, SAS/ACCESS engines, and SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server can be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware (symmetric) or on separate hardware (asymmetric). The Distributed LASR Base SAS components for SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting can therefore be installed on Windows for x64 while working with the Linux for x64 LASR grid.
Use of a co-located Hadoop File System (HDFS) is optional, but it requires a supported Hadoop environment and SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop (which are included with your license). For information about supported Hadoop distributions, refer to http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v94/hadoop/hadoop-distributions.html. The plug-ins require additional configuration. For more information, see SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure 3.5: Installation and Configuration Guide at http://support.sas.com/documentation/solutions/hpainfrastructure/.
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.
It is recommended that SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Mid-Tier be installed on a separate machine.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
The list of web browsers that SAS supports is updated as new products are tested and approved. For the latest information, visit the SAS 9.4 Support for Web Browsers and Plug-Ins page at http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v94/browsers.html.
