SAS 9.4

BASE SASSECURITY

Lock-down

• Restrict access to only those host paths and files that are included in that

server’s list of permitted resources

Metadata-bound libraries

• Universally enforce metadata-layer permission requirements for physical

tables—regardless of how a user requests access from SAS

SAS/SECURE

• Automatically delivered with Base SAS at no additional cost*

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with SAS/SECURE

• Encrypt SAS data on disks

* United States export regulations on encryption software restrict access to

SAS/SECURE software and related technical data.

ODS EPUB - Create SAS reports as e-books that can be

read with Apple iBooks e-book reader on iPad and iPhone.

ODS POWERPOINT – Create Microsoft PowerPoint slides

that combine text and SAS reports.

support delivery to any web browser that is

HTML5-compatible.

SAS 9.4

BASE SASNEW ADDITIONAL SAS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

DS2 - New SAS proprietary programming language

for advanced data manipulation and applications

• Plans – bring SAS processing to any platform

• Aka. Data Step 2 – by no means replacement to SAS Data Step

– think of it as Data Step on Steroids!

• Runs currently – Base SAS (PROC DS2), In-Database (via SAS

Code Accelerator – current Teradata only), HPA (via HPDS2)

FedSQL - SAS proprietary implementation of

ANSI SQL:1999 core standard

• Scalable, threaded, high-performance way to access, manage,

and share relational data in multiple data sources

• Common SQL syntax across all data sources

• Runs on SAS Federation Server

HADOOP INCREASINGLY A PART OF THE SAS ECOSYSTEM

• In 9.3 we already had:

• SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop (interact with HIVE tables like any other data source)

• PROC HADOOP (run HDFS commands, run MapReduce and Pig code from SAS)

• SAS Data Integration Studio transformations for Hadoop (Hive and file) load and

extract

• New PROC HDMD brings support for more file formats

• Enables generation of metadata for tables or files that are not registered in Hive

• SAS Scoring Accelerator and SAS Code Accelerator available for Hadoop in

SAS 9.4 timescale

• Strategic partnership with Cloudera – the leading Hadoop distributor

6. HP procedures


HPA NEWS COMPLEX BUT NO LONGER OUT OF REACH

• HP Analytics Server is now split in 6 packages

• HP procedures available in Base SAS versions (SMP mode) and will only

require additional licensing for MPP mode

• LASR will be leveraged for other in-memory purposes

• SAS Visual Analytics is but one of the clients utilizing the LASR Server in the future)

• Asymmetric Mode will provide better integration between MPP Database

Appliances and the LASR server

• No need to replicate data from data nodes to compute nodes!


SAS®

ANALYTICS

(SAS®

9.4)

ADDITION OF HP ANALYTICS PROCEDURES TO SAS®

ANALYTICS RUNNING ON SINGLE SERVER (SMP)

• New in SAS 9.4

• Common set of HP procedures will be included in each of the individual SAS Analytics products

• SAS recommends that customers desiring to run these procedures on more than 16 cores should move to an MPP

architecture (diminishing performance returns on adding additional cores)

5. Clustering of SAS Metadata Server


CLUSTER WHAT IS A METADATA SERVER CLUSTER?

• Coordinated set of 3 or more metadata servers

• Appears as a regular metadata server to SAS clients

• Provides failure recovery for high availability

• Provides scalable performance for large deployments


CLUSTER HOW DOES THE CLUSTER WORK?

• A cluster is three or more metadata server nodes

• Each node is a full metadata server with a complete copy of all metadata

• One node is designated the master to coordinate the cluster

• All other nodes are slave nodes

• Clients connect to slave nodes

• Once connected it looks like a normal server to the client

CLUSTER REQUIREMENTS

• Three similar machines (same platform, similar performance characteristics)

• Same hardware requirements as for standalone server

• 8 GB, quad core, adequate I/O and network performance

• Network shared storage is required for backups

• Does not require high performance storage

• Virtual machines / logical partitions possible

• Continuity concerns – don’t put all eggs in one single basket! (ie. all 3 virtual

machines in the same physical environment)

SAS 9.4 MORE WEB CLIENTS

• SAS Studio is already released to academic community (US)

• Next foxus on Enterprise Guide and Enterprise Miner follows soon

• Customer Intelligence Studio already replaced by a Web Client

• Look and feel follows SAS Visual Analytics

Why:

• No more software depots, Citrix, Remote Desktop connections etc.

• Maintenance and upgrades of clients are instantaneous and easy

• Platform independence/flexibility

• Virtualisation and cloud ready

=> Enterprise focus

CLOUD GRADUAL ROLL-OUT

• Focus is on creating vApps

• Creating flexibility in deployment and elasticity in capacity

• Provide new ways of licensing and distributing SAS software

• Provides easier/faster provisioning of new SAS capabilities

• Easier software maintenance and version control

• Current

• SAS Licensing for Amazon already exists

• SAS Visual Analytics will be the first vApp offered – already available in the US!

SAS 9.4 WHAT DOES THE NEW MIDDLE TIER MEAN?

• No reliance on and cost of third party software like Websphere and WebLogic

• Easier installation and maintenance/upgrade of software

• One stop application support

• More robust (=enterprise class) installations due to clustering of middle tier

and meta data server (fault tolerance and scalability)

SAS 9.4UPGRADING TO 9.4 FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS

Many types of upgrade transitions to consider!

1. Metadata-based deployments

a. Continued support for metadata-based SAS Migration

Utility aka. SMU

b. Metadata export / import process still a valid option

c. Expanded support for “cross-version connectivity” , mainly

EG and AMO

d. Impact of product packaging changes

2. BASE SAS, just install 9.4 binaries

3. SAS dataset format remains the same

9.4 PLATFORM 1. Continued use of proven processes

• Create a new deployment

• Use tools to migrate a metadata-based deployment

2. Migration Supports new middle tier, clustering

• Process automatically uses embedded middle tier

• Cluster nodes can be created during a migration (for metadata and

middle tier)

3. Constraints for Metadata migration, promotion tools

• Minimum platform baseline

is 9.2

• Specific products have

additional version
