Snowflake Advances Industry-Leading
Platform to Help Enterprises Bring Simplicity to Data and AI
(Graphic: Business Wire)
Snowflake’s platform empowers organizations to harness all of
their data, whether it’s structured, unstructured, or
semi-structured, with increased interoperability across various
platforms. This gives customers more choice and flexibility to
select the data architecture that’s best for them, while benefiting
from the built-in compliance, security, privacy, discovery, and
collaboration capabilities of the Snowflake Horizon Catalog.
“We give enterprises the power of choice when it comes to their
data estates, and our industry-leading platform and governance
capabilities serve as the data foundation for organizations to
build powerful AI apps and models at scale, all with complete
control and flexibility over their data,” said James Malone, Head
of Data Storage and Engineering, Snowflake. “Our continued
advancements around Apache Iceberg and the new Snowflake Open
Catalog, alongside their easy integrations with the Snowflake
Horizon Catalog, bring increased simplicity to organizations’
complex data architectures so they can accelerate value, while
reducing the number of steps required to use and govern their open
lakehouse architectures.”
Snowflake Enables Customers to Unlock Value from All of Their
Data, Regardless of Where it Lives
Snowflake’s flexibility extends beyond architecture options,
enabling users to harness their data with full interoperability,
regardless of where it resides. For enterprises that prefer to
store their data in Apache Iceberg™, the industry’s open table
format of choice, Snowflake is helping users more effectively
integrate and secure their open lakehouse implementations with
Snowflake Open Catalog (now generally available). As a
managed service for Apache Polaris™ (Incubating), Snowflake Open
Catalog allows users to easily adapt as the needs of their
organization evolve by integrating new engines and applying
consistent governance controls across them. Snowflake Open Catalog
will continue to evolve in functionality as the Apache Polaris
project does, while users also benefit from the reliability,
security, scalability, and support provided by a Snowflake-managed
service.
“Snowflake Open Catalog gives our global teams the flexibility
to integrate all of our tools in one place, with comprehensive read
and write support from various engines, while maintaining the
unified governance we depend on to effectively manage our open data
lakehouse,” said Vineet Gorhe, Chief Technology Officer,
DemandHelm. “Snowflake’s commitment to true open source
without vendor lock-in gives us the confidence to innovate faster,
without having to worry about the complexities of setup,
maintenance, and updates for our lakehouse strategy.”
To help users further reduce costs, improve performance, and
turn data lakes into more open lakehouses with Apache Iceberg,
Snowflake is also unveiling a slew of new features for streaming,
ingestion, change data capture pipelines, and integrations.
Outside of Apache Iceberg, Snowflake is making it easier for
enterprises to derive insights from other data types within the AI
Data Cloud, including unstructured data with Document AI
(now generally available on AWS and Microsoft Azure). Document AI
leverages Snowflake’s state-of-the-art large language model,
Arctic-TILT, and extracts information from both text-heavy
paragraphs and other content within documents — such as logos,
handwritten text like signatures, or checkmarks. Hundreds of
business leaders from organizations including Florida State
University, Intelycare, Osmose Utility Services, and
more are using Document AI today to effortlessly distill insights
and analytical values from PDFs and other documents using natural
language.
For organizations that prefer a vendor-managed architecture to
host all of their data within the AI Data Cloud, Snowflake is
constantly improving the economics of its leading platform so that
organizations don’t have to manage their own data and catalogs. To
further enhance this, Snowflake is introducing the new Storage
Lifecycle Policies (now in private preview) to help
organizations better maintain storage costs and compliance with new
ways to archive or delete data. In parallel, Snowflake is
continuing to make legacy relational database management system
migrations to Snowflake even easier by adding additional Views
support to SnowConvert, Snowflake’s native code conversion
tooling.
Snowflake Adds New Threat Prevention and Security Monitoring
Capabilities to the Snowflake Horizon Catalog
The security of customers’ Snowflake accounts has been a
business priority from day one, and Snowflake continues to innovate
in order to make the platform more secure by default. As a result,
Snowflake is enhancing the Horizon Catalog to include credential
theft prevention and detection by automatically disabling users’
passwords discovered on the dark web through Leaked Password
Protection (generally available soon). In addition, the Horizon
Catalog is adding support for Programmatic Access Tokens
(PATs) (in private preview soon) for API authentication, which
simplifies the developer experience for application access while
enhancing security by including scope and expiration for such
tokens.
Snowflake is also strengthening its industry-leading security
posture management through enhancements to the Snowflake Trust
Center, a tool that helps organizations monitor and improve the
security of their Snowflake accounts. Snowflake is announcing the
new Threat Intelligence Scanner Package (now generally
available) that provides a Risky User View to automatically detect
which users — human or service — are risky with clear mitigations
on how to reduce said risks. To help unlock innovations from
cybersecurity partners and address customers’ diverse security
needs, Snowflake is also extending the Trust Center through
custom scanner packages (in private preview soon) available
as Snowflake Native Apps on the Snowflake Marketplace, starting
with five marquee partners including ALTR, Hunters,
OneTrust, Rubrik, and Trustlogix.
Additional announcements to the Snowflake Horizon Catalog
include the public previews of Lineage Visualization Interface
for Data and ML Assets and Synthetic Data Generation,
alongside the recent general availability of Differential
Privacy Policy.
“As a leading customer experience transformation consultancy,
Merkle relies on the Snowflake Horizon Catalog’s robust governance
and advanced security monitoring capabilities to safeguard our
customers’ most sensitive data, preventing unauthorized access and
data exfiltration between internal teams, allowing the right people
to have access to the right information at the right time,”
explains Morten Lileng, Global Head of Merkury Engineering,
Merkle, a dentsu company. “With Snowflake, we have
full visibility into our data usage, all of which is critical for
protecting our customers and ultimately maintaining their
trust.”
