Server Tier Requirements

SAS Demand-Driven Planning and Optimization Foundation Server

Select a platform:

Note: Although Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP are listed as supported environments on the Microsoft Windows for x64 operating system, only Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 are supported for SAS Demand-Driven Planning and Optimization Foundation.

SAS Demand-Driven Planning and Optimization Foundation Server includes:

  • One SAS/ACCESS Engine of choice
  • Either a second SAS/ACCESS Engine of choice or SAS Data Surveyor for SAP
  • Three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice

SAS Metadata Server

Select a platform:

SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:

  • a 64-bit host system
  • a dedicated machine to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics
  • multi-core server hardware because SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded
  • four or more cores for production 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.
