System Requirements
SAS® Model Manager 13.1 (Distributed Mode)

Overview

Important: All Windows 2008-based servers that work with SAS Model Manager require Service Pack 1 or higher, or the SAS Deployment Wizard fails.

Server Tier Requirements

Base SAS is required for SAS Model Manager. SAS/STAT, SAS/IML, and SAS Enterprise Miner are recommended for SAS Model Manager, but are not included.

SAS Model Manager Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Model Manager Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice (Oracle or PostgreSQL).

An additional standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice (DB2, Greenplum, Hadoop, Oracle, SAP HANA, or Teradata) is recommended but not included.

Note: SAS Model Manager In-Database Scoring Scripts 13.1 is an optional product. It can be installed on another tier.

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.

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Distributed LASR) on Linux for x64

SAS Products installed to this machine:
  • Base SAS 9.4
  • SAS High-Performance Deployment for Hadoop 2.6
  • SAS High-Performance Node Installation 2.8
  • SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting 6.4
Disk Space Consumed by Installed Products: 294 MB
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
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise System 11 SP1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Distributed Mode) includes SAS/ACCESS to Greenplum or SAS/ACCESS to Teradata (appliance obtained from vendor) or a Standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice if using Hadoop (commodity hardware). SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server (Distributed Mode) also includes SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed Mode).

SAS Metadata Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS recommends deploying 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 therefore 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 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.


Middle Tier Requirements

 

SAS Model Manager Mid-Tier

Please select a target environment:

For most deployments, 32 GB of RAM should be considered a minimum for the Middle Tier.
