SECURITY
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.

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

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!

• 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)

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
C op yr i g h t © 2 0 1 3 , S A S I n s t i t u t e I n c . A l l r i g h t s r es er v e d .
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

REQUIREMENTS
•
Three similar machines (same platform, similar performance characteristics)
•
Same hardware requirements as for standalone server
•
•
Network shared storage is required for backups
•
•
8 GB, quad core, adequate I/O and network performance
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

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)
