The SAS Enterprise Miner
server installation uses approximately 23 gigabytes of hard disk space.
The SAS Enterprise Miner client installation uses approximately 2
gigabytes of hard disk space. The SAS Enterprise Miner Workstation
installation uses approximately 4 gigabytes of hard disk space.
Disk space requirements
for data should be analyzed for both the client and server machines.
In addition to the
amount of disk space needed to install SAS Enterprise Miner, you will
need adequate disk space to store the following:
-
the data to be mined. You must
provide space for the source data, whether it is SAS data sets or
RDBMS tables.
-
the work data that is generated
during SAS Enterprise Miner processing on the server. A general recommendation
is for each project to allow for four to seven times the amount of
the data file being analyzed.
The SAS Enterprise Miner Sample, Data
Partition, and Memory-Based Reasoning nodes
create work files that are as large as the input data files during
execution. If your data analyses use these nodes regularly, plan your
disk space allocation accordingly.
