What is Snowflake?

Snowflake is a platform designed to facilitate access to and governance of large amounts of data in a scalable way.

On the Snowflake website, you'll find this definition: "a platform for enabling what's possible with data".

It is therefore a mechanism that has come to add to the routine of companies of different sizes and segments.

Created from an architectural concept aligned with the objectives of a data lake Snowflake is capable of handling semi-structured and structured data, and facilitating the possibility for organizations to store it in a single place.

And the best part: Snowflake is financially advantageous because it uses the affordable possibilities of cloud storage.

Differentials of the Snowflake data platform

In addition to saving money, Snowflake eliminates some data silos, because data is no longer collected and stored separately in each sector.

Its use involves the active sharing of data between teams, which makes it possible to extract insights faster and more frequently, and to make decisions in real time.

Its interface in SQL, which is a very accessible language democratizes access to data.

It's a platform that adds positively to the management of a company as a whole.

In short, with Snowflake, you'll have your company:

  • democratizing access to data for all teams in a secure manner;
  • low storage costs;
  • simplification in all your company's processes.
