 What is Analysis Service?
Analysis Services is an analytical data engine (Vertipaq) used in
decision support and business analytics.

 It provides enterprise-grade semantic data model capabilities for

business intelligence (BI), data analysis, and reporting applications
such as Power BI, Excel, Reporting Services, and other data
visualization tools.
Analysis Services is available in different platforms:
 SQL Server Analysis Services
- Installed as an on-premises or VM server instance, SQL Server
Analysis Services supports tabular models at all compatibility levels
(depending on version), multidimensional models, data mining, and
Power Pivot for SharePoint.
 Azure Analysis Services
Azure Analysis Services - Created as an Azure resource, Azure
Analysis Services server resources support tabular models at the 1200
and higher compatibility levels. DirectQuery, partitions, row-level
security, bi-directional relationships, and translations are all
supported.
 History Of Analysis Service
In 1996, Microsoft began its foray into the OLAP Server business by
acquiring the OLAP software technology from Canada-based 
Panorama Software. 
Just over two years later, in 1998, Microsoft released OLAP Services
as part of SQL Server 7. OLAP Services supported MOLAP, ROLAP,
and HOLAP architectures, and it used OLE DB for OLAP as the client
access API and MDX as a query language. It could work in client-server
mode or offline mode with local cube files.
 History Of Analysis Service
In 2000, Microsoft released Analysis Services 2000. It was renamed
from "OLAP Services" due to the inclusion of data mining services.

Analysis Services 2000 was considered an evolutionary release, since

it was built on the same architecture as OLAP Services and was
therefore backward compatible with it.
 History Of Analysis Service
In 2005, Microsoft released the next generation of OLAP and data
mining technology as Analysis Services 2005.
It maintained backward compatibility on the API level: although
applications written with OLE DB for OLAP and MDX continued to
work, the architecture of the product was completely different. The
major change came to the model in the form of UDM - 
Unified Dimensional Model.
