WHAT EXACTLY IS SAS VISUAL ANALYTICS (VA)?
1. Ad-hoc Data Exploration and Visualization (100% web browser based)
2. Interactive Report creation and viewing (Web browser, Mobile, MS-Office/Sharepoint, SAS EG) after “discoveries” made with above data exploration/visualization process
3. Bookmark, Favorites, Collections, Search, Link via the SAS HUB (~ landing page / portal-like interface)
4. Access, clean and pre-load the data courtesy of the SAS Visual Data Builder or any/all of the following … Enterprise Guide, Data Integration (Management) Studio, Management Console, BASE SAS Display Manager/Program Editor, etc.
5. Doesn’t require ‘very large data’ but ideally suited for such (due to In-Memory nature of SAS VA)
6. Doesn’t require high # of users or multi-user/concurrency but ideally suited for such (due to multi-core nature of SAS VA)
7. Can be configured for data redundancy and availability (due to Hadoop and multi-node optional nature of SAS VA)
8. Comes in many ‘flavors’ (SMP-single machine, MPP-multi node, Teradata or Pivotal (Greenplum) co-located, SAS Hosted Cloud)
9. SAS VA Interface Designs and underlying Software Architecture will be the basis for ALL SAS Software going forward 10. Can integrate with ANY SAS technology-product-solution that has the SAS (v9.4+) Metadata Server repository concept
