Complexity
Manage both
infrastructure
and data
Limited
Scalability
Can’t support
all data,
users and
workloads
Diversity
Unable to
consolidate
siloed
datasets
Inadequate
Elasticity
Stuck with rigid,
inflexible
architectures
Rigid Cost
Forced to
keep the
lights on 24/7
Sharing
Transfers limit
volume and
frequency

A NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR DATA WAREHOUSING
Multi-cluster, shared data, in the cloud
7
Traditional Architectures Snowflake
Shared storage
Single cluster
Shared-disk
Decentralised, local storage
Single cluster
Shared-nothing Multi-cluster, shared data
Centralised, scale-out storage
Multiple, independent compute clusters

Snowflake’s built-for-the-cloud architecture provides
many benefits. The key is separation of storage,
compute and metadata services.
● Unlimited storage scalability without refactoring
● Multiple clusters can read/write shared data
● Resize clusters instantly - no downtime
● Centrally manage logical assets (warehouse,
database, etc) - not technical assets (servers,
buckets, etc)
● Full transactional consistency (ACID) across
entire system
