Data fabric solutions startup Promethium Inc. has announced a partnership with Snowflake Inc. to deliver federated query pipelines for what the cloud data warehouse company calls the Data Cloud.
Under the partnership, Promethium’s federated query pipelines can enable Snowflake customers to publish a federated query created in Promethium to Snowflake’s platform. With just a few clicks, they can do so without writing code or designing complex extract/transform/load or ETL pipelines. Data teams can now get data into Snowflake much easier and much faster.
The problem being addressed is that with data trapped in silos, accessing it is slow and difficult. Promethium was designed to break down silos and enable fast on-demand analytics using disparate on-premise and cloud data sources.
The integrated platform, the companies say, eliminates on-premises and cloud-generated data silos so customers can accomplish even more from their Data Cloud investments. Snowflake customers can use Promethium to accelerate data pipelines and move data to the Data Cloud without the complexity and long wait times of traditional ETL and data migration.
Other advantages for Snowflake customers include a single view of organization-wide data, providing an instant understanding of what data is in Snowflake’s Data Cloud and what isn’t. Natural language search makes finding and accessing the best fit data fast and easy.
Advanced data preparation offers an easy user experience and real-time results at each step without needing to move data first. Support for on-demand federated query makes it possible to join data in Snowflake’s Data Cloud with data that isn’t, improving agility for faster decisions.
To top off the offering, a no-code federated query pipeline design gives a claimed 100-fold productivity boost to data engineers. It enables instant validation and visualization to ensure the data is correct before publishing to Data Cloud — all without moving data first.
“Snowflake’s Data Cloud improves data accessibility by eliminating on-premises and cloud-generated data silos,” Tarik Dwiek, head of technology alliances at Snowflake, said in a statement. “With Promethium’s new federated query pipelines for Snowflake, organizations can accelerate the elimination of data silos and quickly boost their ability to make better, quicker business decisions.”
