SAS Viya is a modern analytics platform that enables fast and adaptable data-driven decision-making.

SAS Viya allows collaboration and scaling for everyone, from CEOs to business analysts to data scientists, enabling discovery and decision-making.

SAS has developed a solution architecture for deploying SAS Viya on-premises, in partnership with Red Hat and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). It is explained in detail in a blog. It makes use of Red Hat OpenShift, the top hybrid cloud application platform in the industry driven by Kubernetes for the deployment and scaling of containerized apps, and the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, which offers the cloud experience where the data resides.

Many SAS clients are having trouble moving all their SAS 9 systems to the public cloud despite its benefits for deploying and accessing IT services. The primary causes are:

• Their data's mixed and distributed nature

• Concerns about security and performance

• Diminished ability to govern their data

• Insufficient time and resources to prepare, test, and carry out

• Policies for data protection, compliance, and consolidation

• Excessively expensive egress

Many customers are now considering an on-premises or hybrid cloud option in light of these factors. Because of this, there is growing evidence in favor of implementing SAS Viya on-premises.
