SAS Data Integration Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Data Integration Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. It also includes three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.

SAS Enterprise BI Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS OLAP Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Event Stream Processing Server

Please select a target environment:

DataFlux Event Stream Processing Engine is optional and separately licensed.

SAS High-Performance Risk has specific integration with this product's live data feed interface.

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.
