Like its peers, Snowflake uses Columnar Storage to speed up query execution using Parallel Processing. With Snowflake, there is no hardware or software to select, install, configure, or manage, therefore, making it ideal for organizations that do not want to have dedicated resources for setup, maintenance, and support for in-house servers. A SaaS (Software as a Service) offering, Snowflake is disruptive because it separates Compute and Storage, thereby allowing customers to pay for the two separately, and bundle them as per their requirements.
It is flexible in the choice of the backend service provider (you can choose AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and also select the region). Unlike its peers like Redshift or BigQuery, it is not backed by any of the FAANG companies. It is used for OLAP (Online Analytical Processing). Snowflake Data Warehouse uses a different proprietary SQL Database Engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud. It is built on Amazon Web Service, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud infrastructure that provides an unbounded platform for storing and retrieving data. Snowflake is a Cloud Data Warehousing solution provided as a SaaS offering.
