A single, global platform for your data and your essential

workloads, with seamless data collaboration

Do more with data

Say goodbye to resource limitations and wait times with the ability to instantly spin up and down a virtually unlimited number of concurrent workloads against the same, single copy of your data.

Focus on data, not infrastructure

Eliminate the administration and management demands of traditional data platforms thanks to Snowflake’s fully managed Data Cloud.

Comprehensive Data Security

Entrust your most sensitive data to Snowflake. Our Data Cloud includes a multitude of features such as dynamic data masking and end-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest.

Snowflake + PurpleCube

Snowflake is the centrepiece of our architecture: as all of PurpleCube’s three modules (being PurpleCube Studio, PurpleCube Analytics & PurpleCube Data Science) make use of Snowflake’s compute power, storage, and several other powerful and disruptive features behind the scenes.

Cloud Services

If Snowflake’s computing layer is the brawn of our solution, our cloud services layer is the brain. Snowflake’s cloud services manage client sessions, metadata, transactions, query planning, security/governance and many other services. It’s also a highly scalable tier thanks to the near-limitless computing resources in the cloud. Snowflake supports thousands of customer accounts and hundreds of millions of queries each and every day.

Multi-Cluster Compute

Fully decoupled from the storage layer, our computing layer runs virtually any number of workloads on their own dedicated compute clusters, even if these workloads access the same underlying data. Dedicating compute resources for each workload avoids the drawbacks of running all workloads on a single, large cluster, such as having to queue or drop workloads, or engage in the costly and time-consuming effort of increasing compute capacity. With Snowflake, compute resources are independently sized based on the need of each workload. And Snowflake provides a usage-based, pay-by-the-second business model, with zero cost when a workload is automatically suspended.

Centralized Storage

Our storage layer is designed to support sub-second query response times against multi-petabyte table sizes, without explicitly partitioning the data. Snowflake also provides native support for semi-structured data types such as JSON. In addition, Snowflake fully supports ACID transactions with fast insert/update/delete/merge operations. Your data is also highly secure. Among our many built-in data security features, Snowflake encrypts all data at rest and in transit.
