In addition to the pieces described in detail below, SAS Inventory Optimization also includes servers from other offerings. For information about their requirements, please review the system requirements documents for each solution and server listed below:
• SAS Data Integration Server
• SAS Enterprise BI Server
The SAS Inventory Optimization Server includes two SAS/ACCESS engines of choice or one SAS/ACCESS engine of choice and a SAS Data Surveyor for SAP.
The SAS Inventory Optimization Server also includes three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.
SAS recommends that you deploy SAS Metadata Server on a 64-bit host system. The SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded and multi-core server hardware (typically quad core or higher) is recommended. A dedicated machine for the SAS Metadata Server is recommended to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics, but is not required. 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 8GB of RAM is sufficient for most large deployments. 4GB of RAM is sufficient for many deployments and should be considered a minimum unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.
