OLAP

Online analytical processing (OLAP) allows the user to access aggregated and organized data from business data sources, such as data warehouses, in a multidimensional structure called a cube. Microsoft provides tools and features for OLAP that user can use to design, deploy, and maintain cubes and other supporting objects.

Cubes in a data warehouse are stored in three different modes. A relational storage model is called Relational Online Analytical Processing mode or ROLAP, while a Multidimensional Online Analytical processing mode is called MOLAP. When dimensions are stored in a combination of the two modes then it is known as Hybrid Online Analytical Processing mode or HOLAP.
