In addition to the pieces described in detail below, SAS Field Quality Analytics also includes the following servers from other offerings. For information about their requirements, review the system requirements documents for each solution and server listed below:
SAS Field Quality Analytics Server includes the following software:
Note: Both the Distributed Mode and Non-distributed Mode of SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting include a Non-distributed Mode SAS LASR Analytic Server.
However, only the Distributed Mode of SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting includes the Distributed Mode SAS LASR Analytic Server.
Apache Hadoop software is distributed with SAS software as a convenience. For support information, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/ApacheHadoopSupport.html.
For information about the requirements for SAS Scalable Performance Data Server, please refer to the system requirements document for that offering.
SAS Field Quality Analytics contains the SAS data server SAS Quality Analytic Suite Data Server, which requires additional configuration.
The size of the data server is small.
Note: When you configure your software, the size of each data server must be considered.
Before you install, update, or add products and solutions that result in the deployment of one or more SAS data servers to the same machine, kernel parameter changes for shared memory and semaphores are required. For information about configuration of small, medium, and large data servers, see the section "Tuning the PostgreSQL Data Server" in the guide SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability, Second Edition. at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/intellplatform/tabs/admin94.html
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.
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.
SAS Field Quality Analytics includes the SAS Enterprise Miner and SAS Text Miner Personal Clients. For information about their requirements, refer to the SAS Enterprise Miner and SAS Text Miner system requirements respectively.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
