I have heard a couple of times people using "SAS farm". Does anyone know what it is? Is it different than SAS EG?

Thank you

They probably mean "Pharm", for pharmaceutical industry.

SAS when used in the Phamaceutical industry is sometime referred to as SAS 4 pharma. Its not necessarily a product, although there is SAS Drug Development package, its mainly a way of using a SAS product for a given regulatory agency.

Either that or SAS have really branched out, haven't seen farmer Chris for a while 🐵

The term might also be a reference to a SAS Grid Computing environment -- multiple SAS servers working together to balance large compute loads or spread the work of many users across different machines.

I thought SAS Farm is a reference to the sheep used to manage the grass at SAS's two solar facilities
