What is SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)?

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is the On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) Component of SQL Server. SSAS allows you to build multidimensional structures called Cubes to pre-calculate and store complex aggregations, and also to build mining models to perform data analysis to identify valuable information like trends, patterns, relationships etc. within the data using Data Mining capabilities of SSAS, which otherwise could be really difficult to determine without Data Mining capabilities.  SSAS comes bundled with SQL Server and you get to choose whether or not to install this component as part of the SQL Server Installation.
