System Requirements
SAS® High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering 7.1

Overview

SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering is available for both Distributed and Non-distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server deployments. These system requirements apply to both LASR deployment types. The headings below indicate whether components apply to a specific LASR deployment.

The following products require SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering, but are separately licensed:

  • SAS Peer Group Analysis
  • SAS Currency Transaction Reporting (option to run with either SAS Anti-Money Laundering or SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering)

SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering includes SAS Enterprise Case Management. Use of Enterprise Case Management outside of a High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering context requires licensure of the full SAS Enterprise Case Management product.

SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering includes a Quality Knowledge Base, English (US). Because the English version of the Quality Knowledge Base is required, it also includes either a Quality Knowledge Base Locale or a SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data in the language of choice. 

SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS engines of choice:

  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2
  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC (for use with Microsoft SQL Server)
  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle

  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC (for use with Microsoft SQL Server)
  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle
  • SAS/ACCESS Interface to PostgreSQL

SAS Peer Group Analysis Server and SAS Currency Transaction Reporting are optional, separately licensed components.

SAS Data Management Standard Server

Select a platform:

SAS Data Management Standard Server can run on z/OS, but it has some limitations related to connectivity or functionality.

SAS Data Management Standard Server includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data of choice.

SAS Data Management Standard Server also includes two standard SAS/ACCESS engines of choice, and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.

SAS Data Quality Standard Server

Select a platform:

SAS Data Quality Standard Server includes SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice. It also includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data of choice.

Because the English version of the Quality Knowledge Base is required, it also includes either a Quality Knowledge Base Locale or a SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data in the language of choice.

SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale products are included with the software order. SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data products must be downloaded from the SAS Downloads and Hotfixes site.

SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server

Select a platform:

Note: This server is required only when the SAS Data Quality Standard Server is running on Windows 32-bit. It must be installed on a separate machine, however, because it does not support 32-bit Windows. For more information, see the SAS Visual Process Orchestration System Requirements document, available on the Install Center web site.

SAS Visual Analytics

Select a platform:

SAS Visual Analytics includes one standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. SAS recommends that you install SAS Visual Analytics on a separate machine from the solution software.

Inclusion of SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server

  • SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server, Non-distributed is included automatically if the deployment is for Non-distributed LASR. It is optional if the deployment is for Distributed LASR.
  • SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server, Distributed is included automatically if the deployment is for Distributed LASR.

For Hadoop Support

Base SAS, SAS/ACCESS engines, and SAS Visual Analytics 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 can therefore be installed on Windows for x64 while working with the Linux for x64 LASR grid.

SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server (Non-distributed LASR)

Select a platform:

SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server must be installed on the same operating system as the SAS Visual Analytics server.

SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server includes one standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice for transactional data. It must be the same type as the one selected for SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting, or it must be separately licensed.

SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed LASR) on Linux for x64

SAS Products installed on this machine:
  • SAS High-Performance Node Installation 3.5
  • SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop 1.0

Supported Environments:
  • Oracle Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family

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 Metadata Server

Select a platform:

Clustering (of three machines or more) is recommended for SAS Metadata Server to support SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering.

SAS makes the following additional 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.

If you decide to use Enterprise Case Management with High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering, note that High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering and Enterprise Case Management support different databases. Refer to the SAS Enterprise Case Management system requirements for more information about SAS Enterprise Case Management database support.
  2. To leverage advanced tuning features such as bitmap indexing and data partitioning, SAS recommends that you deploy SAS High-Performance Anti-Money Laundering on Oracle Enterprise Edition instead of Oracle Standard Edition. Oracle Enterprise Edition offers features required for tuning high-volume databases. Cconsult with your Oracle licensing representative for a complete list of available features.
  3. When using Oracle, install the Oracle Text option.
  4. When using Microsoft SQL Server as the solution database, select SAS/ACCESS to ODBC as the access engine. 
  5. When using Microsoft SQL Server as the solution database, all server tiers of the solution are expected to be installed on Windows.
