HP & SAS Virtualization

SAS Analytics 9.3 running on HP ProLiant servers with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization has been proven to provide all the benefits of virtualization with the performance of bare metal. The solution consists of HP ProLiant servers, coupled with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v6.1 and its Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM), to provide the performance needed to make a hypervisor-based virtualization technology a viable alternative to hard and soft partitioning technologies. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization on HP ProLiant servers can enable SAS customers to run their identical analytics environment at a fraction of the cost – with no compromises on performance or agility.
