Sun and SAS Datacenter of the Future

Feature Story

By PJ Bate

May 13, 2008 - Business Intelligence is now a mission critical application for companies that compete and win with analytics and want to sustain a culture of fact-based decision making. High Availability is not an option for Business Intelligence and Analytic applications - it's a must have to stay competitive.

Watch the Highly Available SAS Applications on the Sun Platform Webinar and Presentation to learn how you can architect and deploy your own Highly Available SAS environment. You'll hear from experts at Sun, SAS, and Detica, a SAS Consulting Partner.

Use the resources available in the DCoF Knowledge Center to understand more about the levels of high availability, which include redundant components and paths to data, self-healing systems, automatic restart of SAS applications, and protecting against unrecoverable system failures.

Martin Jones, Principal Consultant from Detica, a SAS Consulting Partner, understands the value of the DCoF and the initiative's newest high availability offering.

"One of our customers is using us to build a mission-critical, real-time SAS analytics system. This system needs to be available to the business 24X7. Working with the "Sun Competency Center for SAS Solutions", we've designed an innovative solution with Solaris Clusters that will provide our client with the continuity they require. As a premier SAS Consulting Partner, we will certainly benefit from the material that SAS and Sun are developing to help SAS customers address high availability and scalability issues, which complements our expertise in high performance systems engineering to generate intelligence from significant volumes of data."
