© 2016 Progress Software Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates. All rights reserved.6 Differences between traditional and Grid deployments for SAS
The Evolution of Analytics Businesses started with large and expensive central mainframes – Mainframes were limited by early storage and processing technology – Connectivity and user interfaces to data were limited by “dumb” terminals – Expansion was limited by proprietary chassis design – Connecting multiple mainframes was expensive, challenging, or impossible
Analytics Today • Modernization moved away from Mainframes • Moved toward server / client solutions, workstations, storage appliances, and networking • Shortcoming of centralized datacenters: Administrative and Performance Bottlenecks
Example of Traditional Deployment
What benefits do grid deployments provide? • Standardization supporting multiple ecosystems • Streamline Administrative support • Better tools for analytics and administration • Centralizing and improving management • Size & Scalability
Example of Grid Deployment
Signs your organization is ready to consider an HPC or Grid solution… • Decrease in cost benefits • Current model doesn’t scale well • Massively Parallelized Processing • Administrative needs continue to grow and grow • High(er) Availability is possible • Faster (Disaster) Recovery Zencos capabilities prepared for TEST Co.
Top Considerations for “Modernization” • Why? • Who? • What? • Where? • When?

Best Practices • Preparation • Technologies • Plan • Time • Expectations • Team • Transition • Users • Support • Goal Alignment
Lessons Learned • Invest in a meaningful assessment • Plan to purchase and build Test and Disaster Recovery environments • Understand the applications and use cases • Outline support model for legacy projects • Consider your post-implementation needs • Expect the unexpected

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Can Your Current Infrastructure Support High-Performance Analytics and Data Science? Big data, compliance and a highly skilled workforce are driving organizations to transform their current analytical infrastructure to deliver enterprise computing environments that can support the latest in data science and analytics practices. SAS remains a popular choice for statistical programming languages, but there is growing demand for R and Python. Data engineers are now being tasked to deliver scalable and highly available computing resources to support analytics for a growing number of users and increasing data volumes while maintaining security for their customers. Join this webinar to learn: Differences between traditional and Grid deployments for SAS Best practices and lessons learned in deploying an Analytics Grid How to deliver an open analytics strategy for SAS, R, Python and others Popular data sources for advanced analytics
