SAS Size Profiling Long Jobs Server also includes one SAS/ACCESS engine of choice and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.
SAS Size Profiling Short Jobs Server also includes one SAS/ACCESS engine of choice and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice. The SAS/ACCESS engine must be the same as the SAS/ACCESS engine for the SAS Size Profiling Long Jobs Server.
SAS Merchandise Intelligence Common Transactions Server also includes one SAS/ACCESS engine of choice and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice. The SAS/ACCESS engine must be the same as the SAS/ACCESS engine for the SAS Size Profiling Long Jobs Server.
Note: SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server is only supported in non-distributed mode on Microsoft Windows for x64. For information about supported architecture for SAS Size Optimization on Linux and SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on Windows (non-distributed), see the SAS Size Optimization Administrator’s Guide.
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes two standard SAS/ACCESS engines of choice. SAS recommends that you install SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate machine from the solution software.
Inclusion of SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server
For Hadoop Support
Base SAS, SAS/ACCESS engines, and SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server can be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware (symmetric) or on separate hardware (asymmetric). The Distributed LASR Base SAS components for SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting can therefore be installed on Windows for x64 while working with the Linux for x64 LASR grid.
If you want to co-locate SAS software with Hadoop File System (HDFS), the maintenance release number of your SAS 9.4 software determines the requirements for your co-located Hadoop deployment:
For information about supported Hadoop distributions, refer to http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v94/hadoop/hadoop-distributions.html. The plug-ins require additional configuration. For more information, see SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure 3.5: Installation and Configuration Guide at http://support.sas.com/documentation/solutions/hpainfrastructure/.
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.
Note: SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server is only supported in non-distributed mode on Microsoft Windows for x64. For information about supported architecture for SAS Size Optimization on Linux and SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on Windows (non-distributed), see the SAS Size Optimization Administrator’s Guide.
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.
Note: Windows 10 (Home or Pro, 64-bit version) is also supported for SAS client software.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
Processor: 32-bit or 64-bit Intel or AMD machine, depending on the operating system
Minimum processor speed: The minimum processor speed required depends on the operating system. For example:
Minimum RAM: The minimum RAM required depends on the operating system. For example:
Recommended RAM: The recommended RAM depends on the operating system. For example:
Note: Adding more RAM will improve performance.
One of the following database versions is required:
Note: Oracle must run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 or higher. The correct JDBC drivers are included when you install Oracle.
