Choice
SAS® Viya® delivers the flexibility that drives innovation and creativity.
Programming Languages
Run existing code faster, loading data with minimal changes from your favorite SAS coding client. And expedite decisions from pre-existing programs and assets – on a platform that lets you orchestrate analytical assets written in SAS, Python, R or Lua.
Data Sources
Gain tangible results from all your data – big and small – interactively, on a schedule or while data is in motion. SAS connects to all kinds of data (structured, unstructured, text, documents, audio and images) wherever it resides (in the cloud, on-site, or in your data lakes in traditional systems).
Analytic Techniques
Combine new, innovative analytical methods with an extensive suite of proven approaches. Use a single, visual web interface for iterative model building across domains – from data mining and machine learning to forecasting and text analytics, and from exploration and discovery to statistical analysis.
Deployment Options
Accelerate innovation with processing power and efficiency, whether you’re running in a cloud, on-site or hybrid environment. Code is portable among on-site installations, or from one cloud provider to another, so you avoid vendor lock-in.
Analytical Talent
Break down silos that inhibit collaboration. Make analytics accessible to everyone regardless of skills or experience – data scientists, business analysts, domain experts, application developers and executives. Safeguard your analytical assets against talent attrition by integrating SAS and other languages into a single, underlying code base.
Flexible Licensing
Whether you choose an on-site or cloud-based solution, SAS offers flexible licensing and pricing options to meet your needs both today and in the future. This flexibility accommodates your future growth – new users, bigger workloads, new deployment patterns, etc. – while addressing any issues related to cost, agility, architecture, governance and deployment.
Control
SAS® Viya® helps you ensure continual progress and trusted results by maintaining appropriate control over your data, models and processes.
Data + Model Governance
Quickly register champion/challenger models in a shared, centrally managed inventory. Access consistent, governed code from your preferred interface or language – SAS, Python, R or Lua. Consolidate, manage and monitor the processing of SAS and other analytical assets, with lineage traceability across the entire analytical life cycle.
Scalability
Increase processing power as needed with a consistent, centrally managed environment that scales to address any analytics challenge. A single, underlying code base means there's no need to redefine, recode or reconfigure if your cloud provider, data volume or speed requirements change. Self-healing mechanisms sustain high availability, and automatic disk space utilization in constrained memory environments ensures jobs don't fail.
Deployment
Develop models once and deploy them in just a few clicks to any infrastructure or application ecosystem, without rewriting code. Be confident you're using the best models through automated management and deployment processes.
Security + Privacy
Secure your analytical assets with features such as authentication, authorization and encryption. Follow organizational and regulatory standards for reliance and user access.

SAS® Viya® System Management
Unified environment management
All analytical tasks are united in a common base from a single, centrally managed web-based environment. You don't need different tools to manage data access, preparation, interactive exploration, statistics, forecasting, optimization, machine learning, AI, and other advanced model development and deployment activities. This means higher productivity for everyone.
Advanced scheduling
Create and manage complex job flows using a graphical job editor that establishes run-time dependencies among large collections of jobs.
SAS® Viya® Scalability
Fast, distributed in-memory processing
Highly available, distributed processing handles easily multiple users and complex analytical workloads. Computing operations are distributed automatically across the cores of a single server or the nodes of a massive compute cluster. If a node fails, fault-tolerant processing ensures blazingly fast speed is retained.
Cloud-enabled, elastic & scalable
SAS Viya is elastic and scalable for both private and public clouds. Complex analytical, in-memory calculations are optimized for unconstrained environments. In constrained environments, they adjust automatically. Elastic processing effortlessly adapts to burst processing using available resources − scaling computing capacity as needed. This elasticity lets you quickly experiment with different scenarios and apply more sophisticated approaches to increasing amounts and speeds of incoming data.
Resilient architecture with guaranteed failover
Designed to be fault-tolerant, SAS Viya detects server failure automatically, even across clusters. Processing is optimized and redistributed as needed. SAS Viya also manages several copies of data on the computing cluster. If a node in the cluster becomes unavailable or fails, the required data is retrieved from another block. These self-healing mechanisms ensure high availability for uninterrupted processing and automated recovery.
