SAS Makes Triple Play
SAS unleashed three major announcements at its Global Forum in San
Francisco this week, with a wave of new SAS High-Performance
Analytics capabilities, a newly unified SAS Customer Experience
marketing suite, and new levels of support for public and private
cloud deployment of SAS software.
SAS High-Performance Analytics software is designed to take advantage
of highly distributed, massively parallel processing (MPP) on memory-
intensive X86 servers. It has been a big strategic push for SAS over
the last two years, as customers demand ever-faster performance.
SAS previously offered High-Performance versions of industry specific
applications, such as financial risk analysis and marketing
optimization. But with the SAS High-Performance Analytics upgrades
announced this week and set for release in June, SAS will bring MPP
power to six core products in its portfolio: Statistics, Data Mining,
Text Mining, Optimization, Econometrics, and Forecasting.
