Questions about SAS Integration Technologies & High Performance Suite

[Residentx10]

Hi SAS Forums Users!!

What are these products? I cannot find any documentation on these products:

1. SAS Integration Technologies, is this listed by another name like SAS/STAT?

2. What is the SAS High Performance Suite? Is this for HPC or something else. Also, can I get a link to tech documentation?

Thanks for your help in advance!

If you Google "SAS Integration Technologies" you should find this link to the documentation:

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/whatsdiff/n00hzq692z1x70n1s8e73fdn8qei.htm

SAS High-Performance Computing is a big subject. Here is a starting point:

@SASJedi I appreciate your comments but let me clarify to make sure we are on the same page.

First, thank you for the link to SAS Integration Technologies page.

Second, Is the high performance "Suite" the same as High Performance Computing / Analytics?

Where did you encounter the term "SAS High-Performance Suite"? As far as I know, this isn't an official SAS designation, so it's not easy to explain the intended meaning. In the past, several SAS 9 products fell into the "SAS High-Performance Computing" designation. This included things like SAS Grid, In-Database Analytics components, and the SAS LASR Analytic Server. Is that what you are referring to as a "Suite"? Perhaps you could explain, in a little more depth what information you are seeking (other than the "title" itself)?

Got it! Your company has negotiated a license with SAS that includes a combination of products bundled under the title "High Performance Suite". SAS 9 licenses are often custom-tailored to a specific customer's needs, and I am unfortunately not up to date on the details of the many different licensing agreements. I'm not in sales or marketing  - just a SAS coder. Your company's SAS Administrator or the SAS Account Executive should be able to tell you what individual components make up your SAS product license. If you don't know who your SAS Account Executive is, you can send me a private email (mark.jordan@sas.com) and I'll be happy to look it up for you.

May the SAS be with you!

From my install with similar High Performance Suite it basically means access the the HP procedures.

These would the Procs that appear in your online help under Base SAS 9.4 Procedures Guide: High Performance Procedures
