Snowflake Inc. Founded in Delaware on July 23, 2012. The company's Cloud Data Platform is an innovative technology that powers Data Cloud. The company's platform enables customers to consolidate data into a single source of fact to promote meaningful business insights, build data-driven applications, and share data. The company's cloud native architecture consists of three separate scalable layers across storage, computing and cloud services. The storage layer absorbs large amounts of structured and semi-structured data to create a unified data record. The computing layer provides dedicated resources that enable users to access the common datasets of many use cases at the same time without delay. The cloud service layer intelligently optimizes the performance requirements of each use case without management. The architecture is based on three major public clouds deployed across 22 regions around the world. These deployments are interrelated to create a single Cloud Data Platform for the company to provide a consistent global user experience. The company's platform supports a wide range of use cases that achieve the customer's most important business goals, including data engineering, data lake, data warehouse, data science, data applications and data sharing.
