Configuring the ICA MS SQL Analysis Services (tier 2 or 3)
For MS SQL Analysis Services (MSSAS) component, you synchronize a single ‘cube’ with the ICA data warehouse. The MSSAS component may be combined with the SQL Server or it may be a standalone server for scalability.
Managing the synchronization can be done in a few different ways depending on your objective. Either an NLB can be used to manage the failover of redundant MSSAS instances or WSFC can be used, or both. With ICA, there is only a single server of MSSAS used.
