Snowflake

Snowflake

Snowflake is the only cloud data warehouse software with instant elasticity, secure data sharing and per-second pricing, across multiple clouds.

Snowflake eliminates the administration and management demands of traditional platforms and big data solutions. Snowflake is a true data platform-as-a-service, running in the cloud. With built-in performance, there’s no infrastructure to manage or knobs to turn.

Snowflake automatically handles infrastructure, optimisation, availability, data protection, and more, so you can focus on using your data, not managing it.
