Today's SAS solutions go far beyond the statistics analysis focus-area with many integration options and solution choices, while offering numerous OS and computing platform choices with scalability in consideration.
Suggest you start with the SAS support
http://support.sas.com/ website with its supplemental technical (white papers, conference sessions, technical tips/notes, position paper references) resources, and where you think there might not be a specific input or output delivery point with the SAS architecture, then state the requirement to determine what specific options / alternatives exist.
