What Is Covered in This Document?

This document covers tasks that are required after you and your SAS representative have decided what software you need and on what machines you will install the software. At this point, you can begin performing some pre-installation tasks, such as creating a SAS Software Depot if your site already does not have one and setting up the operating system user accounts that you will need.
By the end of this document, you will have deployed the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment, and optionally, SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console, and SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop.
You will then be ready to deploy your SAS solution (such as SAS Visual Analytics, SAS High-Performance Risk, and SAS High-Performance Analytics Server) on top of the SAS High-Performance Analytics infrastructure. For more information, see the documentation for your respective SAS solution.
