SAS, a specialist in data and artificial intelligence (AI), has expanded its SAS-hosted managed services to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This strategic addition to the SAS Managed Services portfolio provides customers with more options for deploying and managing their investments in industry-leading SAS technology and solutions.
SAS customers have always benefited from SAS Viya as a cloud-agnostic and cloud-portal platform.
Now, customers can choose their cloud provider and select from SAS’ cutting-edge products and solutions deployed as a hosted managed service, including SAS Viya, on AWS.
Customers will receive SAS expertise from installation to maintenance, with SAS handling the configuration, security, and operation of platforms and solutions in the cloud environment.
“We designed SAS Managed Services to offer our customers the best of SAS: our software, services, support, and expertise,” said Jay Upchurch, executive VP and CIO at SAS.
SAS Managed Services reduce the distance between data and value by ensuring maximum uptime with minimal administrative overhead.
Customers also benefit from reduced costs, retirement of technical debt, and increased speed and security, allowing them to focus on innovation and real results.
“The expansion of SAS-hosted managed services to AWS is a smart move that makes SAS accessible to more customers, offering them more choices in leveraging data and AI within their organizations,” said Steve White, program VP of channels and alliances at IDC.
SAS simplifies the modernization process from SAS 9 to SAS Viya for customers already on AWS or those seeking the right cloud provider for their needs.
With SAS’ full product suite available on AWS, customers can easily leverage the strengths of both partners for their business’s benefit.
