SAS® Strategy Management 5.4

Server Tier Requirements

SAS Strategy Management Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Strategy Management 5.4 requires two SAS/ACCESS engines of choice, and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice.

SAS Metadata Server

Please select a target environment:


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.


Middle Tier Requirements

Note: If the software installed on your Middle Tier includes a 32-bit version of Microsoft Office, the SAS Strategy Management import feature will not work properly. For more information, please see the “Microsoft ACE Engine Requirement” section in the SAS® Strategy Management 5.4: System Administration Guide.
