The AI Data CloudExplained
The AI Data Cloud is a global network that connects organizations to the data and applications most critical to their business. The AI Data Cloud enables a wide range of possibilities, from breaking down silos within an organization to collaborating over content with partners and customers, and even integrating external data and applications for fresh insights.
Powering the AI Data Cloud is Snowflake’s single platform. Its unique architecture connects businesses globally, at practically any scale to bring data and workloads together. Together with the Snowflake Marketplace which simplifies the sharing, collaborating, and monetizing of thousands of datasets, services, and entire data applications - this creates the active and growing AI Data Cloud.
