Sawmill ENTERPRISE brings all the features of Sawmill PROFESSIONAL and adds improved scalability, extreme customization functionality, and support for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, and Role-based Authentication Control (RBAC). Sawmill ENTERPRISE is intended for organizations with existing enterprise database infrastructure, a hierarchy of users needing highly granular access to Sawmill functionality, and/or a need for up-to-the-second reporting from a large log dataset being continually imported into Sawmill's database.

Performance
Designed for processing very large datasets, it outperforms Sawmill PROFESSIONAL on both log import and report generation, when run on a fast multiprocessor server.

Sawmill ENTERPRISE processes log data faster, by splitting log parsing across many processors (or cores). This can give a nearly linear speedup sawmill when processing large logs on a multi-core system, so an 8-core system can import data in 1/8 the time, during log import, the first stage of a database build. Sawmill ENTERPRISE also uses all processors and cores when running large queries. This speeds up some database building operations, for faster data import, and also speeds up some large reports. Together, these make Sawmill ENTERPRISE an excellent choice for anyone with a large dataset to analyze.

Sawmill ENTERPRISE features include:
Support for Microsoft SQL Server back-end database
Support for Oracle back-end database
Support for MySQL back-end database
Support for Role-based Authentication Control (RBAC)
Multiprocessor log import
Multiprocessor report generation and query processing
Complete customization of the web interface via Salang programming*

Operating System and CPU Platform

Sawmill will run on any platform, but we recommend x64 Linux. You can use any distribution, but Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a good choice for maximum speed, compatibility, and stability. On other distributions, it may be necessary to build Sawmill from source code. Other x64 operating systems are also reasonable, including x64 Windows, x64 Mac OS, x64 FreeBSD, and x64 Solaris. CPU architectures other than x64 will work, but we see better performance with x64 than with SPARC and other RISC architectures. 32-bit architectures are not recommended for any large dataset. The address space limitations of 32-bit operating systems can cause errors in Sawmill when processing large datasets.
