Snowflake cloud data platform
Snowflake is a ANSI SQL OLAP cloud data platform with a unique data architecture. For Microsoft users, Snowflake is hosted on Azure and can be integrated with Power BI. Snowflake is also hosted on AWS and GCP, and we have a growing network of partner technologies to give you flexibility over your tech stack. This presentation will include a demonstration of the Snowflake cloud data platform where we will load data from multiple sources, normalize JSON files, query data, and visualize the results in a BI tool. A Q&A session will follow the demo to wrap up our session.
