Introduction This presentation provides an overview of thefollowing SAS Platform Architecture Briefs on Tiers building SAS platform architecture Various SAS Topologies SAS Industry Solutions
Architecture of the SAS IntelligencePlatform The SAS Intelligence Platform architecture is designed toefficiently access large amounts of data, whilesimultaneously providing timely intelligence to a largenumber of users. The SAS Enterprise Platform consists of a multi-tierarchitecture that consists of following 4 tiers Data Tier SAS Server Tier Middle Tier Client Tier

Architecture of the SAS IntelligencePlatform
SAS Server Tier There are different SAS servers which execute SASanalytical and reporting processes submitted by theclients. The principal servers in the SAS Intelligence Platform are SAS Metadata Server SAS Workspace Server SAS Pooled Workspace Server SAS OLAP Server SAS Stored Process Server SAS Table Server SAS Connect Server and SAS Share Server
SAS Server Tier - Spawners Object Spawner: It is used to launch WorkspaceServer, Pooled Workspace Server and Stored ProcessServer sessions based on client requests Connect Spawner: It is used to launch SAS ConnectServer sessions
SAS Middle Tier It houses all the SAS Web applications users use toperform BI reporting The Middle Tier includes following third-party softwareand SAS software elements: a Web application Server The java Development Kit SAS Web applications SAS Content Server and Remote Services
Data Tier The SAS intelligence Platform includes the followingoptions for data storage SAS datasets , SAS SPDS and SAS OLAP cubes In addition, SAS provides products that enable you toaccess data in your existing third-party DBMSs and ERPsystems. The SAS/ACCESS interfaces provide directaccess to DBMSs such as the following: Oracle DB2 Teradata ODBC,Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase
SAS Client Tier The clients in the SAS Intelligence Platform provide Web-based and desktop user interfaces to content andapplications. The following are few DWBI clients that run on MicrosoftWindows systems: SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office SAS Enterprise Guide SAS Enterprise Miner SAS Data Integration Studio SAS Information Map Studio SAS Management Console SAS OLAP Cube Studio
SAS Client Tier The following products require only a Web browser to beinstalled on each client machine: SAS Information Delivery Portal SAS Web Report Studio SAS Help Viewer for the Web SAS Stored Process Web Application
