SAS Enterprise Miner Components

The SAS Enterprise Miner Server offers an extensive and extensible set of tools. These tools streamline the data mining process and create highly accurate predictive and descriptive models based on the analysis of vast amounts of data from across an enterprise. SAS Enterprise Miner enables you to develop data mining flows that consist of data exploration, data transformations, and modeling tools to predict or classify business outcomes. It is accessible through both the SAS Enterprise Miner client and SAS Enterprise Miner batch processing.

The middle tier of SAS Enterprise Miner provides an environment through which the SAS Enterprise Miner client can send and receive data through standard Web protocols (that is, HTTP or HTTPS). This data is routed via the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform to and from servers on the SAS server tier. On the SAS server tier, the data is processed, queried, and analyzed.

The SAS Enterprise Miner client is a powerful and intuitive user interface that streamlines access to the data mining tools available in the SAS Enterprise Miner server.

The SAS Enterprise Miner Workstation is a stand-alone component that is a combination of parts of the server, middle tier, and client components that provides much of the functionality of the other components, but requires no configuration. It is applicable only to a single-user Windows system.

The SAS Enterprise Miner Plug-in for SAS Management Console enables you to browse and customize some of the metadata objects that SAS Enterprise Miner uses. The SAS Enterprise Miner Plug-in provides access to attributes of the Logical Workspace server and server-specific project entries. The SAS Enterprise Miner Plug-in also provides access to the list of mining result packages that have been registered via SAS Enterprise Miner.
