“The Rise of the Data Cloud tells the amazing story of how Snowflake reimagined the concept of a data warehouse, creating a truly innovative cloud platform.”

Marc Benioff Chair and CEO, Salesforce

Snowflake began as a modern data warehouse built to unify an organization’s siloed data; unlock the unlimited power, scale, and performance of the cloud; and democratize data-driven decision-making across the enterprise. An innovative solution but just the first application of Snowflake’s revolutionary and wide-reaching technology. Soon after, Snowflake became the platform for a host of its customers’ most critical data workloads. With more than an exabyte of data in Snowflake, and combined with Snowflake’s modern data sharing technology, the Data Cloud was born. A network of thousands of organizations enabled to securely and seamlessly discover and share data across departments, industries, and public clouds to best understand and serve their businesses and their customers.
