CARY, NC (Mar. 22, 2012).
SAS Visual Analytics, the newest product in the SAS High-Performance Analytics family from the leader in business analytics, provides a fast, simple and cost-effective path to business insight and better decisions.
A key component is the SAS® LASR™ Analytic Server, which quickly reads data into memory for fast processing and data visualization. Users can then explore all data, execute analytic correlations on billions of rows of data in just minutes or seconds, and visually present results. This helps quickly identify patterns, trends and relationships in data that were not evident before.
With SAS Visual Analytics, organizations can:
- Apply the power of SAS Analytics to massive amounts of data.
- Visually explore data at the speed of sight.
- Share fresh insights with everyone, everywhere, via the Web or iPad®.
SAS Visual Analytics combines the industry's leading analytics, unique in-memory architecture, intuitive data exploration, Hadoop support and information-delivery options, including the iPad. It is the only in-memory engine designed specifically for business visualization of big data on inexpensive, nonproprietary hardware.

Autocharting with Intelligence
Users can drag and drop any combination of categories and measure and autocharting will show the best possible visual based on what is given. When cardinality is high we provide an overview bar below the chart to allow the user to see the whole chart in the overview and be zoomed into the important area.
Geographic Visualization
Dragging a geographic category will render a visualization that shows a map with bubbles for each category value. The map will allow the user to zoom and pan and will automatically adjust based on the number of bubbles and geographic information in the data.
