How does this service can help me in the daily work as DBA?
I'm quite new to this stuff. Try to study my self but still stuck.

SSAS is analysis services engine of your db. Its using that you build cubes where you aggregate and store data for analysis, for use by reports etc.

SSAS can be called as a repository which holds the data needed for analysis.
It is different from an OLTP database.Like in our case we have a replication set up which populates the warehouse & cubes are designed to analyze the data.

PBUH

also it's got some canned algorithms for datamining. so you can build models to predict things like "what age group is most likely to buy widgets"
