Traditional data warehouses are constrained by performance, scalability, and elasticity issues. Hence enterprises are increasingly moving to the next-generation cloud data warehouses to reduce infrastructure administration overheads, achieve business agility, and enable uncompromising simplicity. A cloud-based data warehouse like Snowflake provides a decoupled architecture, eliminates the need for remodeling, and facilitates unified data across hybrid sources. Enterprises moving to Snowflake can experience benefits such as full SQL support, serverless architecture, strong partnerships with BI and ETL tools, and ease of maintenance.
