SAS Scalable Performance Data Server

SAS^® Scalable Performance Data Server

Get fast, on-demand delivery of data subsets gathered from large enterprise data stores. SAS Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server provides user access to SAS data for intensive processing (queries and sorts) on the host server machine. When client workstations from varying operating platforms send processing requests to an SPD Server host, the host returns results in the format required by each client workstation. SPD Server uses the power of parallel processing to exploit the threading capabilities of servers with multiple processors.

What's New in the latest release

SPD Server in SAS^® Viya 3.4

SPD Server SAS client software is now included in SAS Viya. You can access your existing Version 5.4 and earlier server versions in SAS Viya. SAS Viya 3.4 uses SPD Server 5.41 client software. SAS Viya in the cloud uses SPD Server 5.42 client software. The client support server connections through the SASSPDS engine, the SPDO procedure, and use of Base SAS languages. Secure client-server connections and use of PROC DS2 and PROC FEDSQL to make server requests are limited to Version 5.4 and 5.3 servers. Server tables cannot be accessed with the CAS server. To make a secure connection, SAS Viya clients running on UNIX computers have different configuration requirements than SAS 9.4 clients. For more information about the configuration requirements, see Overview of Configuring SPD Server Clients to Perform Server Authentication. In SPD Server 5.41 client software, SPD Server macro variables that take character values are no longer case-sensitive, except for the SPDSSQLR macro variable.

SPD Server 5.4 on SAS^® 9.4

The components needed to enable secure communication between a server that is configured for TLS and SAS Management Console are available as part of the SPD Server plug-in for SAS Management Console. There is no longer a need to download the software. For more information, What's New in SPD Server in SAS Viya and SPD Server 5.4.
