 "SAS To Offer High-Performance Analytics On EMC Greenplum Database Appliance")
SAS, the business analytics software and services provider, will expand its high-performance computing offerings with the introduction of SAS High-Performance Analytics, which will be available on a database appliance from EMC, the information infrastructure solutions provider.
This new offering from SAS on the EMC Greenplum Data Computing Appliance will provide an environment for customers to perform analytical exploration and development on all data to complement their regular analytic operations.
“Analysing large amounts of data quickly to get at answers that drive time-sensitive business decisions is a competitive differentiator in today’s market,” said Sudipta K Sen Regional Director – South East Asia CEO & Managing Director - SAS Institute (India) Pvt. Ltd “SAS is redefining ‘in-memory processing.’ By going beyond in-memory databases or in-memory OLAP and allowing complex analytical computations to run data in a parallel, shared memory environment, SAS delivers faster performance and scalability. Partnerships with companies that have leading database appliances like EMC Greenplum enable businesses to combine SAS’ unique analytic capabilities with massively parallel platforms in a complete, purpose-built appliance.”
“This powerful analytics combination is a complete ‘big data’ stack – complementary to the enterprise data warehouse – offering fast-loading, robust data management and complex analytics in a purpose-built environment. Our joint customers will gain from EMC’s deep understanding of massively parallel processing architecture combined with SAS’ deep expertise in analytics,” said Bill Cook, General Manager and President of EMC’s Data Computing Division.
