Snowflake
Mobilizing the world's data
Description
Snowflake isn’t just a great technology company. We’re all about the data—easily enabling governed access to near-infinite amounts of data, and cutting-edge tools, applications, and services. With the Data Cloud, you can collaborate locally and globally to reveal new insights, create previously unforeseen business opportunities, and identify and know your customers in the moment with seamless and relevant experiences.
Features
Near-Unlimited Resources
Snowflake was built from the ground up for the cloud. It is not bound by the limitations of a legacy on-premises solution ported to the cloud. Its multi-cluster shared data architecture separates compute from storage, enabling customers to elastically scale, up and down, automatically or on the fly. Users can apply dedicated compute clusters to each workload in near-unlimited quantities for virtually unlimited concurrency without contention. Once a workload is completed, compute is dialed back down so customers don’t have to pay for over-provisioned resources. All usage is billed by the second, and easily and transparently governed. Organizations can also meter usage to allocate costs to different departments.
Governed and Secure Collaboration
The Data Cloud enables an organization’s most critical workloads, including seamless data collaboration within an organization; across its business units; with its ecosystem of partners, suppliers, and customers; and between any combination of the thousands of Data Cloud customers and Snowflake Marketplace providers. The opportunity to securely share and access governed data, tools, applications, other technologies, and data services– while preserving privacy– creates a near-endless combination of strategies and solutions to advance any organization’s business. Snowflake’s security and governance features were baked into the platform from day one, including end-to-end data encryption in transit and at rest.
Modern Applications Built on Snowflake
Choose from a number of options to build and run your modern applications in the Data Cloud. Snowflake enables any organization to create applications that capitalize on the data, architecture, and features inherent to the Data Cloud, and accelerate their development and go-to-market strategies through the Powered by Snowflake program. Many choose to deploy connected apps, where data and code remain separate from each other. In this instance, the application provider maintains the application code while its customers apply the app to data that remains in their own Snowflake accounts. In addition, Snowflake's new Unistore workload enables a modern approach to bringing together transactional and analytical data, to power new types of applications.
Putting Customers First
Snowflake has grown rapidly over the past few years but our strong commitment to our loyal customer base remains. As of June 2022, our Net Promoter Score (NPS) was 72 —more than three times the industry average of 21 for technology providers. Snowflake customers also help advance what’s possible in the Data Cloud, using it in ways that often inform our product roadmap. In addition, the ecosystem of the Data Cloud includes hundreds of Snowflake partners that offer applications, tools, data sets, services, and other complementary solutions that address use cases across a number of industries. Together, Snowflake and our partners help enable every customer to pursue their mission.
