Hi,

 

I would like to know, what kind of NAS do I need to install SAS Analytics pro without a metadata server?

 

Thank you.

Why are you posting the identical question found here?

Same class at school?

 

Edit.

Forget it. Your post shows up a second time in the "Recent Topics" list under the ID of @Madelyn_SAS 

Must be a glitch of the forum software.

NAS means Network Attached Storage. Stuff like Synology or Qnap. I know no kind of NAS suited to run SAS.

Any kind of advanced SAS installation has a metadata server at its core, only standalone SAS Foundation works without metadata.

I don't think SAS Analytics Pro uses a Metadata Server, it's Base SAS, SAS/STAT and SAS/GRAPH:

Here's the documentation, which includes requirements.

Have you checked the SAS System Requirements? I don't think they would be any different with or without a metadata server. I assume you are referring to SAS 9.4 as SAS Viya doesn't have a metadata server.

If your goal is to have an Analytics server without metadata, and Viya isn't an option either, you could try SASjs Server - https://github.com/sasjs/server

 

It's an open source middleware over the Foundation SAS executable.  It's very lightweight, and will even run in a $6 cloud VPS.  Docs are here: https://server.sasjs.io

 

Today I wrote an installation guide for a fresh cloud machine:  https://sasapps.io/sasjs-server-on-vps
