Hi,
there is not restrictions on how much additional RAM memory to allocate, just suggestions to improve the performance of SAS VA.
For questions related to sizing, I would advise you to contact your SAS account manager so they can send your request to the SAS Excelence center to determine the proper sizing for your requirements.
Some questions they will probably make to you, I suggest you to have this information ready for them in advance:
- Number of heavy and light users (heavy user = report designer/analyst or heavy reports consumer; light user= normal report consumer)
- Total amount of SAS data (uncompressed) you plan to load into VA.
- Size of the biggest table you plan to load.
- Speed of your CPUs in casethat you have got already that hardware.
- and other questions
Best regards,
Juan
