What is SAS Data Accelerator?
SAS In-Database Technologies is now SAS Data Accelerator. SAS Data Accelerator is an in-database analytics and processing capability within SAS Viya that enables you to execute analytics, AI model scoring and data quality functions directly inside supported databases and cloud data platforms. By minimizing data movement and leveraging native processing, you can improve performance, scalability and operational efficiency for data and AI workloads.
Introducing the next evolution of SAS In-Database Technologies
SAS In-Database Technologies is now SAS Data Accelerator, reflecting a broader update to how analytics execute within modern cloud and hybrid data environments.
SAS Data Accelerator builds on the same core principle – running analytics where data resides – while introducing a modernized execution approach designed for today's distributed data architectures. By enabling SAS transformations, analytics and model scoring to run directly within supported data platforms, you can reduce unnecessary data movement, simplify processing pipelines and scale analytics more efficiently.
Why organizations use SAS Data Accelerator
