Power BI
HI Rakesh
Please spend some time to read about Power BI. You can read all about Power BI https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-get-started/
1. Yes Power BI supports data warehouse models
2. Yes Power BI supports SSAS Cubes
3. I do not understand what do you mean by backend system (Do you mean source systems?)

lol, yes, I noticed the typo but the website is slow today and the edit took a while to do.
Power Pivot Data Model = Power BI Data Model = SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular mode.
Power BI Desktop and Power Pivot run a private, slightly feature-reduced version of SSAS Tabular behind the application process. The features you're missing vary, but the largest by far is role-based security.
Power BI Web Service uses the same engine - I cannot speak to its specific implementation (what sort of multi-tenancy is used).
