Virtualization: What Does It Mean for SAS?

Overview SAS groups virtualization into four categories: Hardware Virtualization, Presentation Virtualization, Application Virtualization, and Storage Virtualization. Hardware Virtualization (VMware, Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V) and Presentation Virtualization (Windows Terminal Server, Citrix XenApp,) are technologies being used by SAS users today. Application Virtualization (Citrix XenApp, Microsoft App-V) is a newer technology for application deployment and maintenance that is generating interest in the SAS community. Storage Virtualization is something that one sees as an important future technology. This paper discusses how hardware, presentation, and application virtualization impact running SAS software.
