Legacy data warehouses were designed in a different era…

…when data was stored internally and siloed giving management little access to insights. Snowflake’s unique clustering architecture allows the “democratization” of data allowing users to share and leverage cross-enterprise securely. Legacy data warehouses are incapable of scaling to support the volume and complexity of today’s data-driven organizations.

Snowflake was designed for the cloud with a brand-new architecture: multi-cluster shared data. It was designed to handle any data volume at blazing speed and virtually unlimited scale. With Snowflake, you can store, transform and analyze structured and semi-structured data together. See how migration to Snowflake compares to your current solution below.
