Hi @surajmishra1508 

SAS Viya is modern cloud-enabled, in-memory analytics platform. Its built using modern micro services based architecture and can be deployed on public, hybrid, private clouds or on traditional infrastructure. It is a platform on which different SAS Solutions are built upon and delivered for the least basic is SAS Visual Analytics.

SAS Enterprise Miner is a data mining tool used by modelers to develop descriptive and predictive models. Its based on SAS9.x architecture.

Currently SAS offers two BI platforms SAS9.x and SAS Viya. In SAS Viya world, VDMML (Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning) provides robust capabilities for modelers right from data prep, modeling and reporting. It also provides integration capabilities for open source languages and REST APIs. Here is quick demo video on VDMML: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3uXe_dhrYc

Just like deploying E-Miner on any traditional infrastructure you can deploy it on cloud providers as well. you will have to follow the same process for installing and setting it up. I am not sure of any official docs provided specially for this as the process still remains the same.

Hope this helps!
