Familiar model, easier to build, faster time to solution Advanced concepts (parent- child, many-to-many) not available natively in the model… need calculations to simulate these Easy to wrap a model over a raw database or warehouse for reporting & analytics Tabular Sophisticated model, higher learning curve Advanced concepts baked into the model and optimized (parent- child, many-to-many, attribute relationships, key vs. name, etc.) Ideally suited for OLAP type apps (e.g. planning, budgeting, forecasting) that need the power of the multidimensional model Multidimensional

Based on Excel formulas and relational concepts – easy to get started Complex solutions require steeper learning curve – row/filter context, Calculate, etc. Calculated columns enable new scenarios, however no named sets or calc members DAX Based on understanding of multidimensional concepts – higher initial learning curve Complex solutions require steeper learning curve – CurrentMember, overwrite semantics, etc. Ideally suited for apps that need the power of multidimensional calculations – scopes, assignments, calc members MDX

In-memory column store… typical 10x compression Brute force memory scans… high performance by default… no tuning required Basic paging support… data volume mostly limited to physical memory xVelocity Disk based store… typical 3x compression Disk scans with in-memory subcube caching… aggregation tuning required Extensive paging support… data volumes can scale to multiple terabytes MOLAP Passes through DAX queries & calculations… fully exploits backend database capabilities No support for MDX queries… no support for data sources other than SQL Server (in Denali) Direct Query Passes through fact table requests… not recommended for large dimension tables Supports most relational data sources… no support for aggregations except SQL Server indexed views ROLAP
