SAS Business Rules Manager is available for both Distributed and Non-distributed LASR deployments. These system requirements apply to both LASR deployments. The headings below indicate whether components apply to a specific LASR deployment type.
SAS Business Rules Manager Server also includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice (Oracle or PostgreSQL).
The following products are optional but not included:
Teradata and Greenplum must use the Remote Embedded Process (REP) to achieve parallel loading. To use Remote Embedded Process, you must install the appropriate SAS/ACCESS interface engine on the server tier.
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. This engine must be the same as that selected for the SAS Business Rules Manager server, or it must be separately licensed.
SAS recommends installing the SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate computer from the SAS Business Rules Manager Server.
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.
SAS Business Rules Manager Server supports Decision Manager Common Data Server or Oracle.
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.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
