5. Analysis Services

6. Analysis Services
SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is an online analytical data engine used in decision support and business analytics
SSAS supports two modelling modes—multidimensional and tabular
The multidimensional mode also includes a data mining engine
It provides analytical data for business reports and client applications such as:
Reporting Services reports, Power BI, Excel, and other third-party data visualization tools

7. Analysis Services One Semantic Model—Two Ways to Develop
Tabular models
Multidimensional models
Tables and relationships
Fast by design with in-memory
Easy to get started and simple
Dimensions and measure groups
Highly scalable and mature
Feature rich and complex
