ABOUT SNOWFLAKETHE ONLY DATA WAREHOUSE BUILT FOR THE CLOUD
Snowflake’s mission is to enable every organization to be data-driven. Our cloud-built data warehouse makes that possible by delivering instant elasticity, secure data sharing and per-second pricing, across multiple clouds. Snowflake combines the power of data warehousing, the flexibility of big data platforms and the elasticity of the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.THE PROBLEM WE SAW
Conventional data warehouses weren’t designed to keep up with the exploding demand for data-driven insight. They are complex, costly and inflexible systems that have become obstacles rather than solutions to accessing and analyzing all your data.
Alternative, “Big Data” platforms such as Hadoop are merely toolkits, not complete solutions, that require massive resources to build and maintain. They’re even more complex, require specialized skills, and simply weren’t designed for data warehousing.
HOW WE SOLVED IT
We built a completely new SQL data warehouse guided by these principles [documented as objectives in this StratML rendition]Snowflake, Inc.SNFLK_05911b3c-c363-11e9-bce0-6de6d0d7c79fSnowflake PartnersSnowflake unlocks the full potential of data warehousing in the cloud for a broad array of tools and partners.
