Join us November 4-5 for SAS Forward, a virtual event exploring modern analytics, AI and intelligent decisioning. Discover real-world success stories, explore emerging trends, and see the latest SAS innovations in action through expert-led sessions and live demonstrations.
On 26 October 2026, "SAS" welcomed 3rd Year "B. Tech" students specializing in "Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning" (AIML) from "Poornima University" to SAS Delhi office for an engaging Industry visit.
The visit featured insightful sessions on “Leveraging AI in Today’s Era and How SAS Is Helping,” to “From Business Problem to Production - How Industry Uses SAS for Analytics, Forecasting & AI.”
The sessions were conducted by SAS Education team, who set the context for the discussions and highlighted the importance of industry-academia collaboration. Through these interactive sessions, students gained valuable insights into how AI and analytics are transforming businesses, how organizations leverage SAS solutions to address real-world business challenges, and how emerging technologies are being applied across industries.
The industry visit also provided a platform for students to interact with industry experts, gain insights into emerging career opportunities in AI and analytics, and understand the skills required to succeed in a technology-driven business environment. Such engagements help bridge the gap between academic learning and industry expectations, giving students greater exposure to real-world applications, professional perspectives, and the evolving demands of the analytics industry.
The visit provided students with an opportunity to connect classroom learning with practical industry perspectives, helping them better understand the evolving role of AI, analytics, and technology in shaping the future of business.

Hello,
If I deploy SAS Viya CAS on AWS EC2 instance type r6id.x16large and this instance has 2 internal SSD disks.
I have two options which I am unsure which is better performance-wise:
1. CAS can be instructed to use both disks for CAS Cache by setting
CASENV_CAS_DISK_CACHE environment variable to point to the two disks for example:
/cas/cache-nvme0:/cas/cache-nvme1
2. I assume I can create a RAID-0 from both disks and point CAS Cache to the RAID-0 itself
Any ideas about this?
