SAS High-Performance Risk 3.2 ships with SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting, which must be installed with SAS High-Performance Risk 3.2—it cannot be installed at a later time.
SAS High-Performance Risk Server includes two SAS/ACCESS Engines of choice. For deployments that use a third-party appliance for co-located storage, one of the engines is for accessing the co-located data.
SAS High-Performance Risk Server also includes three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.
Note: SAS LASR Analytic Server is supported for distributed deployments only.
SAS Visual Analytics Server includes SAS/ACCESS Inerface to Greenplum or SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata or a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice if using Hadoop.
Note: When Hadoop is used for storage, SAS LASR Analytic Server supports only the EXT3 and EXT4 file systems.
SAS High-Performance Analytics Grid Installation and SAS High-Performance Management Console will not run properly if Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled. Ensure that SELinux is disabled on all machines where these two products are to be installed.

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