SAS High-Performance Risk ships with SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting, which must be installed with SAS High-Performance Risk 3.3; it cannot be installed at a later time.
SAS High-Performance Risk Server includes two SAS/ACCESS Engines of choice. One is for transactional data purposes. The other is for one of the following:
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Distributed LASR) includes SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed LASR). SAS LASR Analytic Server (Non-distributed LASR) is optional.
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 Deployment for Hadoop is provided for co-located data storage. SAS Visual Analytics also supports the following options, with procurement and installation by the customer:
Apache Hadoop software is distributed with SAS software as a convenience. For support information, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/ApacheHadoopSupport.html.
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.
When you install your SAS solution software, SAS Deployment Manager installs and configures the required web application servers and web servers.
To install these servers, select one of the supported operating systems for the middle tier.
Note: These servers cannot be installed on the z/OS or 32-bit Windows platforms.
Use of the SAS Event Stream Processing Client requires SAS/GRAPH.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
See the SAS AppDev Studio system requirements for the latest information about its requirements.
