Feature
Snowflake enables every organisation to mobilise data with their data cloud. Customers use the Snowflake Data Cloud to unite siloed data, discover and securely share data, and execute diverse analytic workloads, including applications, collaboration, cybersecurity, data engineering, data lake, data science, data warehousing, and unistore.
The company focuses on enabling governed access to near-infinite amounts of data, and cutting-edge tools, applications, and services. Wherever data or users reside, Snowflake delivers a single data experience that spans multiple clouds and geographies so users can drive data-driven insights across their organisations.
Solutions by Snowflake help break down data silos created by legacy on-premises and cloud applications
Solutions by Snowflake help break down data silos created by legacy on-premises and cloud applications, so users can integrate and analyse data sets that were previously impossible to obtain. With Snowflake, users can also store and access structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in one location, gaining seamless access to external data with scale and speed.
Snowflake Marketplace enables users to securely acquire third-party data sets, tools and applications, and complementary data services, all without having to move or copy that data. It also handles the maintenance, administration, and a host of automated services so users don’t have to deal with the operational burden.
Snowflake was born in the cloud, and this has been a game-changer in the market. The company is bringing near-unlimited scalability with an affordable price as we are billing our customers per second for their real usage. This consumption model puts it ahead of the competition and Snowflake has been successfully replacing legacy systems for companies across the world. It also has unique data sharing and collaboration capabilities, unlocking business value that is not far from three trillion dollars according to McKinsey.

To strengthen the channel network, the company has a Snowflake Partner Network Programme. The initiative aims to build scalable offerings to meet the needs of partners, customers, and the wider data cloud ecosystem. The programme also helps the partners maximise their value and customer success with Snowflake. As partners increase their impact, they can move up the tier and further differentiate themselves. It also helps them and to play an indispensable role in driving customer adoption and value realisation on the Data Cloud.
Snowflake first transformed data analytics in 2014, then data collaboration in 2018, and is now zeroed in on disrupting application development with the Data Cloud. With Snowflake as the platform for application development, it is not only simple for users to unlock discovery and collaboration across their entire organisation, but with just a few more clicks, they can even externalise applications to the entire Data Cloud network and unlock new revenue streams.
The Snowflake solution also helps break the barriers that have inhibited enterprise collaboration, enabling organisations to embrace a new sharing economy. Since Snowflake launched its regional cloud deployment on Azure UAE, the company has seen increased adoption across many key customers in the UAE. These include adoption by Abu Dhabi Ports and Mubadala Investment Company.
