Hi Ruben ,

In a Hybrid OLAP, the database gets divided into relational and specialized storage. Specialized data storage is for data with fewer details while relational storage can be used for large amount of data. Use of virtual cubes and other different forms of HOLAP enable one to modify storage as per the needs.

According to my opinion this the simple and precise answer.

There is an E Book "THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL DATA MODELING TOOLKIT" available at HYBRID OLAP

The book covers these topics in detail.
