These new offerings on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud will enable organizations to develop Generative AI (GenAI) applications, establish streamlined data integration and provide a centralized, policy-based access management, simplifying data governance and ensuring control over data usage.
“We are excited to continue strengthening our ongoing collaborative relationship with Snowflake,” said Pratik Parekh, SVP Product Development for Informatica. “At Snowflake Summit last year, we unveiled Informatica Superpipe for Snowflake, revolutionizing the industry with 3.5x faster data integration and replication. This year, we’re continuing the momentum by unveiling our latest innovations, aimed at making it easier than ever for customers to access fast, secure and reliable data in Snowflake and leveraging the new Cortex AI features.”
New capabilities include:
Native SQL ELT for Cortex AI Functions now supports new GenAI capabilities following the recent launch of Native SQL ELT for Snowflake at Informatica’s recent conference, Informatica World. In addition to the 250 Native Snowflake functions initially supported, Native SQL ELT now supports Cortex AI Native GenAI functions. With this new integration, Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) customers can incorporate Cortex AI Functions as part of their IDMC no-code data integration and data engineering pipelines running natively on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
Enterprise Data Integrator (EDI) establishes Informatica as one of the first ISV Partners to provide a fully functional Snowflake Native App. Leveraging a Streamlit in Snowflake built user interface and Snowpipe Streaming, EDI seamlessly integrates Snowflake Native App framework for quicker discovery and data loading. The EDI service is free for 30 days to allow users to experience the product before they buy.
CDAM for Snowflake delivers policy-based access management, providing a centralized control plane for both data governance and access. It seamlessly combines data access control with classification, discovery and cataloging tools, leveraging metadata to automate processes. With an intuitive policy authoring interface, it simplifies enterprise-wide data access management.
