Overview of Deploying the Analytics Environment

Deploying the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment requires installing and configuring components on the root node machine and on the remaining machines in the cluster. In this document, the root node is deployed on blade 0.
The following figure shows the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment co-located on your Hadoop cluster:

Note: For deployments that use Hadoop for the co-located data provider and access SASHDAT tables exclusively, SAS/ACCESS and SAS Embedded Process are not needed.
The following figure shows the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment using a serial connection through the SAS/ACCESS Interface to your remote data store:

Tip
There might be solution-specific criteria that you should consider when determining your analytics cluster location. For more information, see the installation or administration guide for your specific SAS solution.
The following figure shows the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment using a parallel connection through the SAS Embedded Process to your remote data store:
