Nearline for SAS

Big data in a small footprint

SAS systems typically contain large amounts of data used for analysis. This supporting data, kept in a variety of environments including SAS data sets, flat files and databases, requires careful management and administration if it is to meet the unpredictable ad-hoc analytic demands placed on it by SAS analysts. Making this data available in a usable form is expensive because specific infrastructures need to be built to hold the data, management requirements are extensive, and the time required to identify, transform and extract the data for detailed analysis is longer than users want to wait.

• High compression
• Cost-effective storage
• High performance
• Scalability
