THE Cloudera, the only truly hybrid platform for data, analytics and AI, announces integration with Snowflake, an AI Data Cloud company, to bring enterprises an open, hybrid data lakehouse powered by Apache Iceberg. Organizations can now leverage the combination of Cloudera and Snowflake—two leading tools for data ingestion, processing, and consumption—to gain a single source of insight for their analytics, AI workloads, and analytics.
Data is an institution’s most powerful asset. It drives informed decision-making, provides competitive advantage, and reveals opportunities for innovation. 2022 study A study by KX and the Center for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) revealed that 80% of companies report higher revenues due to real-time data analysis and 98% report an increase in positive customer sentiment due to leveraging data. However, to fully harness the power of data, companies need a single, unified source of truth to store, manage and govern all corporate information, regardless of where it resides.
Cloudera has extended its Open Data Lakehouse interoperability to Snowflake, enabling joint customers to seamlessly access Cloudera’s Data Lakehouse through its Apache Iceberg REST catalog. Customers benefit from an optimized data platform powered by Apache Iceberg, enabling them to ingest, prepare, and process their data with best-in-class tools. Additionally, Snowflake users can now query data stored in Cloudera’s Ozone, an on-premises AWS S3-compatible object storage solution, directly from Snowflake. Customers now have access to all major formats from a cohesive collaboration, on-premises and as a platform, including Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).
In addition to enabling greater interoperability between the two systems, Cloudera customers will experience the ease of Snowflake’s Business Intelligence engine. The engine can access data from Cloudera’s open data lakehouse without requiring duplication or data transfer, reducing complexity, simplifying operations and maintaining data integrity.
Additionally, this collaboration leads to a reduction in the integrated total cost of ownership for enterprises. Eliminating data and metadata silos, streamlining data pipelines, and streamlining operational efforts are key factors in this cost reduction. These improvements help deliver analytics and AI use cases at scale more efficiently, further enhancing the value proposition for enterprises using Cloudera and Snowflake. This strategic integration not only streamlines analytics workflows but also provides a robust framework for organizations to drive innovation and gain competitive advantage in their respective markets.
Additional benefits of this integration include:
- Managed Iceberg Tables: Iceberg tables improve data performance and reliability, enabling joint customers to unlock the full potential of their data through better organization, faster queries, and simplified data management, regardless of where it is stored;
- The best mechanisms: Joint customers benefit from best-in-class mechanisms to ingest, prepare, and manage their data, enabling seamless management of artificial intelligence (AI) and business intelligence workloads;
- Unified security and governance: This integration consolidates data security and governance across its entire lifecycle. Joint customers can apply consistent security measures, track data origin and movement, and manage metadata in a single platform, on-premises or in the cloud.
By extending our open data lakehouse capabilities through Apache Iceberg to Snowflake, we are enabling our customers to not only optimize their data workflows, but also unlock new opportunities for innovation, efficiency, and growth.” Abhas Ricky, Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudera“This will help customers simplify their data architecture, minimize data pipelines, and lower the total cost of ownership of their data estate, while mitigating security risks. Together, Snowflake and Cloudera are bringing the next era of data-driven decision making to every modern organization.”
“Apache Iceberg is a leading choice for customers who want open standards for data, and Cloudera has been an integral part of the Iceberg project,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake“Our partnership expands what’s possible for customers who choose to standardize on Iceberg desks. We’re excited to break down silos and deliver a unified hybrid data cloud experience with cross-functional analytics for all of our customers.”
“Through this collaboration, customers gain access to a robust, unified data management platform that provides a single source of truth for all their data, whether in the cloud or on-premises,” he said. Sanjeev Mohan, Analyst at SanjMo“This enables them to simplify and secure their data operations while efficiently analyzing and extracting insights across the entire data lifecycle – from ingestion to AI and analytics. It’s a strategic move by two industry giants to partner in a way that will deliver immediate value to businesses.”
Additionally, reaffirming our commitment to advancing Iceberg adoption, Cloudera is pleased to announce the technical preview of Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer. This new service autonomously optimizes your Iceberg tables, further reducing costs and significantly improving the performance of your lakehouse.
