Most Widely in use

OLAP
MOLAP:MOLAP The cube is aggregated from the
relational data source (data warehouse).
ROLAP:ROLAP ROLAP engine essentially acts
as a smart SQL generator. The cube is
specified by the relationship between the
relational tables.

Functional capabilities
Ability to leverage parallelism.
Performance
Loading data into the cube
Reading the data from the cube

Metadata Support
