Spanish term or phrase: Cubos, cubo

I don't think I have seen the word "cubo" or "cubos" used in this manner before (in Castilian Spanish report). Can you help? It is describing how a computer program helped the information system of a company.

"Lo único que la compañía realizaba era el típico cubo de ventas sobre la base de datos"

(List of information needs): "Una misma base de datos común para todos los cubos."

"Un ejemplo de la utilización que hace XXX del programa es la creación de múltiples cubos como el de ventas"

"Otra de las principales ventajas de esta configuración es el hecho de tener una misma base de datos común para todos los cubos."

I will appreciate you explanation of the use of the term used in these phrases. Thanks so much.
