Well, depends on the definition of the data warehouse. You should read a bit
about DW and SSAS.
In most cases you have 3 types of data storage:
OLTP relational database (production database)
DW relational database (use as a storage only, denormilazed and contains
history)
SSAS analytical database (use for multidimensional analitical queries)
SSIS is usually used for moving, transforming and cleaning data between OLTP
and DW. You can also use it for maintenace task or in general for automating
tasks
