Does your middle-tier environment run optimally? Have you ever wondered how you can tune your environment to run more efficiently? The SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability document, which is available for download from the SAS Product Documentation page, is here to help.

The Tuning for Performance and Scalability document will walk you through the steps to tune your environment for optimization. The document includes the tuning methodology and tuning parameters for SAS web applications, SAS Web Application Server, SAS Web Server, Java Virtual Machine, and the supported operating system environments.

The SAS 9.4 release has added functionality that enables you to automatically configure a clustered environment for the SAS web applications. As a result of this added functionality, optimizing the middle tier and SAS web applications for scalability and performance is greatly simplified. The common objective of scaling a component or system is to increase the capacity for growth, increase the speed of the component, improve the efficiency, or shift or reduce the load on the component. To find out how to do this and more, read the Tuning for Performance and Scalability guide.
