SAS hosting and managed services
Our team assesses the current environment, plans the target architecture, and coordinates migration and testing. Ongoing support covers performance, operating costs, and environment management. The scope is defined around the organization’s workloads and service requirements.
SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya migration
A SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya migration starts with the existing code, data, reports, and dependencies. Compatibility depends on the source release, target platform, and licensed products. Assess representative workloads before deciding which items to move, adapt, or retain.
Test programs and integrations against the target environment before cutover. Compare outputs, performance, access controls, and scheduled jobs. Document required changes and the rollback approach for each migration wave.
Our SAS migration process
- 01
Assessment and Planning
Inventory SAS applications, data, schedules, integrations, and dependencies. Define migration scope, owners, and acceptance criteria. - 02
Architecture Design
Plan the target environment around workload, access, performance, and recovery requirements. - 03
Data Migration
Define data transfer, validation, and reconciliation steps. Test the approach before production migration. - 04
Application Migration
Assess programs and reports for compatibility. Adapt unsupported items and document required changes. - 05
Testing and Validation
Compare outputs and test performance, security, integrations, and scheduled jobs before cutover. - 06
Training and Support
Provide role-specific guidance and operating documentation for the target environment. - 07
Optimization and Continuous Improvement
Monitor workloads after migration and review capacity, performance, and operating costs.
SAS 9.4 maintenance upgrades
A SAS 9.4 maintenance upgrade needs a release-specific assessment. Review supported operating systems, dependencies, integrations, and security changes against the selected release. Test critical workloads before production deployment. An M8 upgrade is a specific upgrade path, not a statement that M8 is the newest release.
Deployment and configuration
Vast Edge helps configure SAS Viya around the organization’s operating needs. Work includes user and group access, service configuration, and administrative procedures. Define backup, update, and recovery responsibilities as part of the deployment.
Management and monitoring
We monitor SAS Viya compute and Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) resources. Performance reviews help identify capacity constraints and workload issues. Changes should be tested against agreed service requirements.
Security, backup, and troubleshooting
Troubleshooting covers environment issues and connections to other applications. Define security and backup responsibilities separately, including access, retention, recovery testing, and escalation. Keep the scope aligned with the agreed managed service.
SAS cloud migration options
Vast Edge supports planning and migration for SAS environments moving to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or IBM Cloud. The plan covers infrastructure, data, application configuration, testing, and cutover. Confirm that the selected SAS release and target architecture are supported.
Post-migration support helps teams monitor workloads and address issues after cutover. Review performance, capacity, operating costs, and recovery procedures once the environment is stable.
