Mumbai, May 19th, 2021: SAS continues its commitment to ensuring advanced analytics run where customers locate their data. As part of its strategic partnership with Microsoft,
SAS Viya was released in November on
Microsoft Azure. Raising the bar, SAS now expands cloud-native support for Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, with Red Hat OpenShift coming later this year.
Industry analysts expect significant market growth for public cloud deployments of big data and analytics (BDA) software. In its
Worldwide Big Data and Analytics Software Forecast, 2020–20241 report, IDC says public cloud deployments represented 30.5% of the overall BDA software market in 2019 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.2% through 2024 compared with a CAGR of -1.2% for on-premise/other software deployment methods. That growth trend suggests organizations slow to adopt this technology may find themselves struggling compared to early adopters.
“Analytics in the cloud is what our customers want,” said Jay Upchurch, SAS CIO. “We’re proud of our pioneering work with Microsoft and running SAS Viya on Microsoft Azure. We also respect our customers’ decisions to choose other cloud providers. We’ll meet them where their data is located and help them leverage their existing cloud investments to power their analytic aspirations.” Upchurch added the
SAS Cloud runs on Microsoft Azure and enjoyed 34% growth year-over-year for Q1 2021.
Experts like Ritu Jyoti anticipate more cloud expansion from SAS because it’s what the marketplace demands. “It’s clear SAS is committed to supporting customers’ cloud choices. Expanding to Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud makes SAS Viya available to even more users,” said Jyoti, Program Vice President, Worldwide AI and Automation Research Practice at IDC.
SAS’ customer commitment is unrivaled
“Over the last year, companies that have embraced digital transformation were able to uniquely adapt to fast-changing market conditions. And digital transformation requires analytically-driven decisions,” said Bryan Harris, SAS Chief Technical Officer. “By expanding SAS Viya support for more cloud providers, we’re giving customers choice and control to deploy world-class analytics anywhere and at any scale across their enterprise.”
Today's announcement is in conjunction with
SAS Global Forum 2021, the world's premier AI and analytics conference. Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year’s conference is once again virtual and free.
