Letting your data reign in the cloud
Every SAS Cloud has a Silver Lining
DSS SAS SYSTEM
Current
Single Virtual Server unit with 16 cores upgraded to 32 cores 256 Gb RAM 150 registered users Data collector from other government departments and external bodies Runs Models and builds reports from this data. Processing time – Considerably long due to model running
Goal
Grow with increased data collection Integrate with new tools Deliver reports in shorter time frame Increased analytical capabilities Able to operate in the new DSS Infrastructure Hosting Zone (on premises cloud)
DATA IS JUST DATA ISN’T IT?
Structured data captured from operational systems
Customer interaction directly with company
Purchase detail Usage detail
Addition of 3rd party data to add value to operational data The beginning of CRM systems Beginning of Data Mining
Big Data
Social media Non customer interaction Unstructured data Anything that generates some form of data in large volumes
IN 1999, THE WORLD PRODUCED ABOUT 1.5 EXABYTES OF UNIQUE INFORMATION, OR ABOUT 250 MEGABYTES FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD ON EARTH.
IN 2008 THE WORLD PRODUCED 14.7 EXABYTES OF NEW INFORMATION, NEARLY TRIPLE THE VOLUME OF INFORMATION IN 2003.
WHAT WE DO WITH THE DATA
1990 Descriptive Analytics –What happened and when did it happen?
Standard reports Ad – hoc reports Simple drill down queries
2000 - onwards Predictive Analytics – based on what happened, what is likely to happen?
Statistical Analysis Forecasting Predictive Modelling Optimisation
ADVANCED ANALYTICS
What happened? Why did it happen? When did it happen? What caused it to happen? Who made it happen? Will it happen again? What should we do to make happen /stop it from happening again? What is the outcome of this event?
WHAT DO WE WANT FROM THE DATA?
What do we want to know? Why do we want to know? When do we want to know? Who will use the what we now know? How will this knowledge be used? What is the benefit of knowing this?
It’s more than an abacus, coloured pencils, ruler, and graph paper
For today and tomorrow
'It would take 7.2 billion people using electronic calculators 32 years,
to do the same calculation the computer can solve in just 60 seconds.' Sunway TaihuLight (10.65 million cores).
How about this?
THINGS TO CONSIDER
You’ll always get more data More analytics and reporting More, More, More Efficiency
Fixed resources Elastic/Scalable resources Coding Scheduling Tools $$$$$$
ROI Lost Time
JUST HOW FAST ARE THE $$$$?
Fixed resources Scalable/Elastic Resources
One User Many Users
IN BUSINESS
The difference between a great system and a bad system is
Being No. 1 Or Being No 1
IN GOVERNMENT
The difference between a good system and a bad system is
Wise use of taxpayers money Or Being asked questions by the Auditor General
GRID SERVER VS VIYA
Grid Server (on Premises or Cloud)
Scalable (with limited CPU available) On or off premises Integrate other tools
E.g. Hadoop etc.
In house systems need to be maintained / upgraded In house-Security by organisation
Viya (Cloud)
Elastic (Virtually unlimited CPU) Mainly off premises location Integrate other tools
E.g. Hadoop etc.
Minimal maintenance required (Host) Security by cloud host and
Yes, I stole this from SAS
BEST OPTION
SAS Grid Server configuration in an on premises cloud
Resources in house Meets government security protocols (ASD) Internal systems and Infrastructure meet needs now and future Integration with tools currently used by DSS
Hadoop Federation Server
Easy to expand nodes due to virtual server environment Node configuration to suit business needs Advanced analytical capabilites
OK I took this from SAS too, but modified it a little
