Understanding the System Architecture of SAS/ETL and SAS/EBI Server for Federal Enterprise Architecture Requirements

Overview

This paper describes some of the key points learned through: many conversations with SAS Institute, and persistence to understand how the SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence Server and the Extraction, Transformation, and Loading Server work. These new Enterprise offerings of SAS Institute require planning to install and knowledge of the system infrastructure to configure. Because of this, SAS Institute personnel are often utilized to facilitate this process.
