TWO STARTING

POINTS

NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE… BUT OFTEN NOT SEEN TOGETHER!

Hadoop as a Data Platform(standalone or as part of a broader ecosystem)

Hadoop as a core component of the next

generation of BI and Analytics

.. to support innovative business usage.. to support an IT Transformation

SAS & HADOOP HOW?

SAS & Hadoop intersect in many ways:

SAS can treat Hadoop just as any other data source, pulling data

FROM Hadoop, when it is most convenient;

SAS can work WITH Hadoop, lifting data in a purpose-built

advanced analytics in-memory environment;

SAS can work directly IN Hadoop, leveraging the distributed

processing capabilities of Hadoop.

FROM + WITH + IN HADOOP IS NOT AN OR, BUT AN AND

Prepare data IN

Hadoop for

analytics

Move it FROM Hadoop

into a SAS server

Deploy and manage

model score code

IN Hadoop

HPA temporarily lifts

data IN to memory for

analytics at scale

Model data at scale in-

memory WITH visual

statistics and in-memory

statistics

TIP

Use the right

technique for

what needs to

be done!

Explore data at scale, in-

memory WITH visual

analytics
