In a SAS Intelligence
Platform deployment, you can use one or more of these data storage
options:
-
-
-
parallel storage from the SAS Scalable Performance
Data Engine (SPD Engine) and the SAS Scalable Performance Data Server
(SPD Server)
-
All four data sources
provide input to reporting applications. The first three sources are
also used as input for these data structures:
-
cubes, which are created with
either SAS Data Integration Studio or SAS OLAP Cube Studio
-
data marts and data warehouses,
which are created with SAS Data Integration Studio
You can use these storage
options in any combination to meet your unique business requirements.
The following sections describe each storage option in more detail.
Central
management
of data sources through the SAS metadata repository is also discussed.
