Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, announced the launch of its service in Indonesia in public preview, bringing the Data Cloud to customers and partners in the country. Snowflake expects to be generally available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Jakarta) Region in April 2023, enabling customers and partners to accelerate their migration to the Data Cloud, and harness the power of data.
Snowflake’s Data Cloud platform helps organizations break down data silos – bringing structured, semi structured, and unstructured data in one location, allowing users to gain critical business insights. The Snowflake’s Data Cloud platform helps organizations execute their most critical workloads through a multi-cluster shared data architecture, via a fully managed platform that capitalizes on the near-infinite resources of the cloud. On top of that, the platform allows near-limitless access so that organizations can develop and run data applications, models, and pipelines where data resides, all while unlocking cost-efficiency through a usage-based, per-second pricing model.
