Server-Tier Requirements

SAS Contextual Analysis Server

Select a platform:

SAS Contextual Analysis Server comes with a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice, as available per platform.

If not specified, by default, SAS Text Analytics Language of choice for English (USA) will be included.

SAS Enterprise Content Categorization Server

Select a platform:

SAS Enterprise Content Categorization Server supports Linux 32-bit. However, Linux 32-bit must be installed on a separate machine from SAS Contextual Analysis.

SAS Enterprise Content Categorization is obtained only through the external download site by customers that have a current license.

SAS Enterprise Content Categorization Server includes:

  • SAS Content Categorization Server
  • SAS Content Categorization Collaborative Server

It also includes the following free downloads from the SAS Demos and Downloads web page:

  • Wikipedia Data for SAS Enterprise Content Categorization, various language supports
  • DBPedia Data for SAS Enterprise Content Categorization, English

SAS Crawler Server

Select a platform:

SAS Crawler Server is obtained only through the external download site by customers that have a current license.

SAS Metadata Server

Select a platform:

SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:

  • a 64-bit host system
  • a dedicated machine to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics
  • multi-core server hardware because SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded
  • four or more cores for production 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.


Middle-Tier Requirements

Select a platform:

Web Application Servers

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.
