Snowflake is a data warehouse platform built for the cloud. Due to its unique architecture, Snowflake separates storage and compute services for a completely flexible and scalable solution built around your data needs. Your organization can leverage any cloud storage solution and only pay for what you use.
How is Snowflake Different?
Traditional data architecture is complex and costly. It wasn’t built to scale and operate in today’s cloud environment. The result is an expensive infrastructure that takes your team’s focus away from the data.
Snowflake was built from the ground up for the cloud. Its cloud data platform supports multi- and cross-cloud strategies, and Snowflake plays well with all major cloud storage providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Meaning unlike Amazon Redshift, Google Big Query, and Azure Synapse, you can use a Snowflake data warehouse with any cloud storage solution.
Snowflake was built for elasticity. This significantly reduces the amount of administrative workload to manage your data warehouse.
Traditional data warehouses can get bogged down with database depth. Snowflake stores data differently. Its unique compression allows you to crunch complex data queries quickly. And because Snowflake separates storage and compute, you only pay for what you process—allowing you to scale based on what you need, when you need it.

One of the great features of Snowflake is that it was built to be a data platform. This means that its use can vary by your specific needs. For some, this may be a cloud data warehouse. But for others, Snowflake can be leveraged as their data lake. What’s the difference between a data lake and a data warehouse?
