SAS Federation Server makes it easier for business users to access secure data for reporting and analysis. It provides a virtual layer or view, giving users the appropriate level of control without physically moving data. This frees up IT staff to focus on other tasks by giving them a simple method of sharing data using a centralized, governed security layer.
Learn how to
- Maintain, configure, and monitor data access from a single point of administration in a web browser interface.
- Create a virtualized data layer that unifies disparate data sources into a federated view providing federated data as a service (DaaS).
- Improve data access performance by using database pushed capabilities, connection pooling, privilege access caching, and in-memory data caching capabilities.
- Provide centralized security of sensitive data using role-based data access for groups and users, along with data masking and encryption of personally identifiable information (PII).
- Create and share SAS metadata with other SAS solutions for easier integration.
- Apply data quality functions such as standardization and parsing in federated views in a consistent form to support data governance initiatives.
- Leverage SAS In-Database technologies to run SAS DS2 code and analytical scoring model inside the database for improved performance.
