SAS, a reference in analytics, has teamed up with SingleStore to help organizations remove barriers to accessing data, maximizing performance and scalability and revealing critical insights offered by data. The SAS Viya platform with SingleStore enables the use of analytics and artificial intelligence technologies on data stored in SingleStore's real-time, cloud-native database. The integration provides open, flexible access to curated data to help accelerate the value of on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments.
“Storage and infrastructure economics, as well as complexity in data integration and manual processes, often get in the way of fast, efficient decision-making by technology leaders,” said Carl Olofson, vice president of management software research. IDC data. “By bringing more intelligence capabilities to data, productivity and performance significantly increase within organizations, reducing costs and accelerating data-driven decisions.”
With SingleStore's data compression and SAS's analytical performance, the two companies seek to reduce the complexity of data management and integration, as well as the computational time required to train sophisticated models.
“For many organizations, repetitive data movement, manual processes, and isolated data in islands make it difficult to quickly capture value from analytics,” said Bryan Harris, CTO at SAS. “SAS Viya with SingleStore delivers a revolutionary set of capabilities that simplifies and accelerates iterative data and analytics loops to increase decision speed and achieve this critical value.”
SAS Viya with SingleStore enables SAS's advanced AI and machine learning analytics to be run directly against relational database tables in SingleStore. With this capability, SAS and SingleStore will substantially reduce the technical debt of customers with duplicate data storage, improving the performance of the analytical workload and, consequently, revealing its main competitive advantages.
“By integrating SingleStore’s multi-cloud and hybrid database with the parallel analytics engine, SAS Viya is capable of dramatically improving performance, reducing costs and enabling real-time applications for organizations,” he said. Raj Verma, CEO of SingleStore. “Personally, it is a privilege to work with the company that practically invented analytics, AI and ML. I have always admired the work of SAS, both in terms of technology and organizational culture and leadership, and this partnership with them, who are reinventing the space, is an honor and an incredible opportunity.”
