Few Snowflake benefits for your business

 

Few Snowflake benefits for your business
 Snowflake is built specifically for the cloud, and it's designed to address many of the problems found in older hardware-based data warehouses, such as limited scalability, data transformation issues, and delays or failures due to high query volumes. Here are five ways Snowflake can benefit your business.
Performance and speed
The elastic nature of the cloud means if you want to load data faster, or run a high volume of queries, you can scale up your virtual warehouse to take advantage of extra compute resources. Afterward, you can scale down the virtual warehouse and pay for only the time you used.

Storage and support for structured and semi structured data

You can combine structured and semi structured data for analysis and load it into the cloud database without the need for conversion or transformation into a fixed relational schema first. Snowflake automatically optimizes how the data is stored and queried. As Snowflake uses a modern cloud infrastructure, it evades many of the traditional data warehouses’ issues and improves the overall performance. The elastic nature of the cloud is that if you want to run a high volume of queries or load data quickly, you can scale up the virtual warehouse and take advantage of extra computing resources. Later you can scale down the virtual warehouse and pay only for the time you used.
Concurrency and accessibility
With a traditional data warehouse and a large number of users or use cases, you could experience concurrency issues (such as delays or failures) when too many queries compete for resources.
You could experience delays or failures (concurrency issues) with a traditional data warehouse. Snowflake addresses such issues with its unique multicluster architecture. Queries from one virtual warehouse will not affect the queries from another. Data scientists and data analysts can quickly get what they need, whenever they need, without waiting for other processing or loading tasks to complete.
Snowflake addresses concurrency issues with its unique multicluster architecture: Queries from one virtual warehouse never affect the queries from another, and each virtual warehouse can scale up or down as required. Data analysts and data scientists can get what they need, when they need it, without waiting for other loading and processing tasks to complete.
Seamless data sharing
Snowflake's architecture enables data sharing among Snowflake users. It also allows organizations to seamlessly share data with any data consumer — whether they are a Snowflake customer or not — through reader accounts that can be created directly from the user interface. This functionality allows the provider to create and manage a Snowflake account for a consumer.
Availability and security
Snowflake is distributed across availability zones of the platform on which it runs — either AWS or Azure — and is designed to operate continuously and tolerate component and network failures with minimal impact to customers. It is SOC 2 Type II certified, and additional levels of security — such as support for PHI data for HIPAA customers, and encryption across all network communications — are available.
Connect your ecosystem
If you have a diverse data ecosystem or an IoT solutions database, you'll want a cloud-based data platform that offers nearly infinite expansion, scalability, and ease of use. And you'll need a data integration solution that is optimized for cloud operation. Using Stitch to extract and load data makes migration simple, and users can run transformations on data stored within Snowflake.
As a Snowflake Partner, Stitch makes it easy for you to set up Snowflake. New users get a free 14-day trial, during which you can move an unlimited amount of data from more than 90 data sources, including popular platforms such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, Shopify, Salesforce, and Stripe.
 Effective Data Sharing
Snowflake architecture allows seamless data sharing among Snowflake users. It also enables companies to share data with all the data consumers seamlessly. It doesn’t matter if these data consumers are Snowflake customers or not, as reader accounts can be created directly from the user interface. This unique functionality enables the provider to create and manage a Snowflake account for a customer. Snowflake allows your team to work collaboratively with external business partners and across your enterprise in real-time with its unique data-sharing features. Finally, with Snowflakes SQL functions, you can quickly and securely access data from anywhere in the world.
Availability and Security 
 Snowflake is distributed across various availability zones on the platforms on which it runs. It runs on both Microsoft Azure and AWS platforms. Snowflake is a proven cloud-based data warehouse solution for many industries, including the federal government, healthcare, state and local agencies, security, and financial services. It has built-in protection that meets PCI DSS and SOC 2 Type II requirements with an additional level of encryption.
