Microsoft is pushing the bar on simplifying data efforts for enterprises. Today, at its ongoing Build 2024 conference, the company announced that it is expanding its partnership with Snowflake to enable bi-directional data access for joint customers.
The move comes with support for Apache Iceberg and will power interoperability between Microsoft Fabric – the company’s end-to-end data analytics platform – and Snowflake’s data cloud, saving customers from the hassle of keeping multiple copies of data at different locations. It will also drive major cost savings in the long run, the companies said.
“We are enabling this experience by accelerating our adoption of open standards, collaborating with industry-leading partners, and making it easier for customers to rapidly benefit from the innovations we are bringing to the market,” Arun Ulagaratchagan, corporate vice president of Azure Data at Microsoft, said in a statement.
