SAS Launches In-Memory Based Visual Analytics

By TechTaffy Desk

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

SAS has launched a new in-memory business intelligence (BI) solution, the SAS Visual Analytics, the newest product in the SAS High-Performance Analytics family. SAS Visual Analytics combines analytics, in-memory architecture, data exploration, Hadoop support and information-delivery options. Server components run on Red Hat or SUSE Linux, and the mobile client is available for the iPad from the iTunes App Store. Other mobile devices will be supported in the future, says SAS.

A core component of SAS Visual Analytics, the SAS LASR Analytic Server, uses Hadoop (embedded Hadoop Distributed File System) as local storage at the server for fault tolerance. SAS LASR Analytic Server has been tested on billions of rows of data and is extremely scalable, bypassing the known column limitations of many relational database management systems (RDBMS), says the company.

While the high end is not limited, SAS LASR Analytic Server reference configurations begin with an eight-blade server with 96 processor cores, 768 gigabytes memory and 4.8 terabytes (TB) of disk storage. The upper end of the reference configurations is 96 blades with 1,152 cores, 9.2 TB memory and 57.6 TB of disk storage, enough disk space to store the entire Library of Congress six times.
