Founded in 1976, SAS is a privately held company and a well-known brand in the analytics and business intelligence market. The vendor’s aim is to make analytics available everywhere and for everyone.
SAS Viya is an open and cloud-ready end-to-end platform for analytics, which aims to serve all types of customers’ analytical needs. It was designed as a massively parallel, distributed environment which connects to various data sources and can be run on-premises or in the cloud.
SAS has made a point of creating an open architecture that not only supports SAS code but also languages such as R, Python, Java and Lua directly or through APIs to enhance its scalability and serve the appetite of data scientists for these tools. Viya consists of a set of micro services and an in-memory engine called SAS Cloud Analytics Services (CAS) for execution in a single-machine or distributed mode.
