A new article out of the company reports, “Snowflake Computing, the cloud data warehousing company, today announced a technology and go-to-market partnership with Looker, the business intelligence platform for data-driven companies, to leverage the cloud and bring powerful, self-service analytic insights at any scale to customers without the complexity and inflexibility of conventional solutions. Building on the native integration between Looker’s business intelligence platform and the Snowflake Elastic Data Warehouse™, this partnership will further extend the ability of Looker users to take advantage of unique Snowflake capabilities, provide easy deployment of Snowflake with Looker and accelerate market adoption.”
The article continues, “The Snowflake Elastic Data Warehouse is a data warehouse as a service, built from the cloud up for today’s data and analytics. Looker’s native integration with Snowflake takes advantage of Snowflake’s unique architecture and capabilities: it enables users to use Snowflake’s elastic scaling to get great performance on any scale of data, take advantage of Snowflake’s native support for structured and semi-structured data to analyze diverse data in one place, and benefit from Snowflake’s automation and self-tuning capabilities to do that without the complexities of manually configuring and tuning the data warehouse. As a result, Looker users can focus on getting insights from their data rather than on managing data infrastructure.”
