SAS Decision Manager Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice for transactional data. It also includes three SAS Metadata bridges of choice, plus General Industry Standards which is included automatically.

SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle and SAS/ACCESS Interface to PostgreSQL are both listed in the product list. However, you must select one of them when placing your order.

SAS Decision Manager Server may include the following optional and separately licensed products:

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Non-distributed Mode)

Please select a target environment:

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Non-distributed Mode) includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. It also includes SAS LASR Analytic Server (Non-distributed LASR).

SAS Metadata Server

Please select a target environment:

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.
