When older people think of the word âcloudâ, those white fluffy things wafting along the sky come to mind. But, when a youngster thinks of âcloudâ, she thinks of that space on the internet which stores the mind, heart and body of her lifeâs most important data (literary, visual or audio). If you are a business leader, you need to start looking at the cloud like a youngster because if you donât, you will lose your competitive edge and thus, your market share. Quite simply â cloud is a necessity, not a luxury.
Understanding the âCloudâ Imperative
So, what is this new âcloudâ and why is it critical to your business? Think of the Indian Railway system. Thousands of trains travel along tracks stopping and departing from hundreds of platforms adding and dropping off millions of passengers. These trains rest at sheds when not running but the system runs round the clock. Now, think of the trains and passengers as the immense amount of different kinds of data that is critical to your business and the tracks, platforms and sheds as the foundation or âcloudâ which safely stores and compartmentalises your disparate data in a manner that allows you to work efficiently.
For the entire railway organisation to function optimally, myriad systems and technologies across multiple âplatformsâ are needed. To store, access and utilise your data for competitive advantage, you need expertise. Just as the Indian Railway system is immensely complex, so is the world of âcloudâ that involves Data Management running across several systems catering to all, some or that one unique, specific requirement in a multitude of ways. The best combination for your business needs expertise.
Further, your business has multiple data prerequisites which, in turn has even more requirements, inputs and technologies to operate faster, better and cheaper than competition. All this is not your businessâ core competence. But, you need this expertise because without it, your competitive edge will be blunted. Where do you find the best solution at an affordable cost? Answer: Snowflake.

This also easily loads, integrates, and analyses all types of structured and semi-structured data inside a unified repository seamlessly operating across clouds and across regions.
With Snowflake, you can also collaborate across all of the business units of your organisation, with your customers, and with external business partners by seamlessly and securely sharing data to make timely data-driven decisions. With our platform as your foundation, you can shift your focus from managing a sprawl of disparate infrastructure to deriving insights from all your data, by all your users within a simple, powerful and flexible solution.
Conventional data warehouses and big data platforms have failed to deliver on their fundamental promise: — to make it easy to amass many types of data, enable rapid analytics, and deliver reliable insights to all your business users. Forward-thinking organisations want to combine multiple types of data and a diverse array of analytic initiatives into a progressive and extensible cloud strategy.
One Platform, No Headache, Anything is Possible
Snowflake works with leading technologies for building a complete solution. Intelligent data acquisition, management, and analytics are important differentiators in nearly every industry. Standardisation on Snowflakeâs cloud data platform allows you to shift your focus from managing infrastructure to managing data, and obtain every possible insight from that data.
Having a unified cloud repository facilitating a single source of truth allows you to analyse your data and share it externally as part of a broad cloud ecosystem easily. With this unique architecture you can run multiple workloads across multiple teams without resource contention, maximising performance and efficiency. Since Snowflake is delivered as a service, you get value from your data rather than managing the pipelines used to deliver that data. Thus, you can optimise your data management to win.
