SAS Customer Experience Targeting Server includes three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice, plus General Industry Standards which is included automatically. It also includes your choice of Portal for SAS or Cross Domain Tracking for SAS.
SAS Customer Experience Targeting Server includes SAS Data Integration Server. Please see the SAS Data Integration Server system requirements for the latest information about its requirements.
Platform Suite for SAS is required and separately licensed.
SAS Customer Experience Targeting contains the SAS data server SAS Customer Experience Targeting Data Server, which requires additional configuration.
The size of the data server is medium.
Note: When you configure your software, the size of each data server must be considered.
Before you install, update, or add products and solutions that result in the deployment of one or more SAS data servers to the same machine, kernel parameter changes for shared memory and semaphores are required. For details about configuration of small, medium, and large data servers, see the section “Tuning the PostgreSQL Data Server“ in the guide SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability, Second Edition. at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/intellplatform/tabs/admin94.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.
The SAS Customer Experience Targeting Mid-Tier includes SAS Customer Experience Mid-Tier software.
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.
