Or, what about the new SAS Cloud? It’s here!

It's Cloudy. And That's Cool.
Your data is already in the cloud. Now you want to run your applications in the cloud, too. No problem – just install SAS in the cloud and go. Or, we can handle those details for you in the SAS Cloud.

It's a Private Matter
Many organizations opt for private clouds where applications and data remain on-site. With this option, IT builds a private cloud specifically to suit the enterprise. To speed deployment and create a highly available environment, SAS Grid Manager allows you to allocate and manage jobs to run in pieces across a shared grid. This helps you balance workloads, optimize hardware capacity, improve performance and adjust the environment on the fly. SAS Solutions OnDemand also provides hosted and managed cloud options if you want a private cloud environment – but don’t want to build, manage and maintain it yourself.

No More Hardware Headaches
You can start using SAS right away without having to install and configure any hardware. We handle all those details. The SAS Cloud is a hosted private cloud environment where you get rapid access to SAS analytics tools and solutions. We’ll help you prepare and move your data to the SAS Cloud. Then, you can add more data later at your convenience. We perform all hardware and software management – guaranteeing you have the most current version of SAS software at all times. SAS Visual Analytics is our first solution available in the SAS Cloud. Call us. Log on. You’re in.
