Datavolo, powered by Apache NiFi, provides a single platform for automating and managing both structured and unstructured data flows between various enterprise data sources. Once fully integrated into the Snowflake platform, Datavolo will form the basis of Snowflake’s open and extensible connectivity platform for structured and unstructured data. This will allow users to replace the complexity and maintenance burden of single-use, point-to-point connectors with fast, flexible, reusable pipelines. The acquisition also aims to accelerate Snowflake's business in the public sector.
Key takeaways:
- Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Datavolo, a company that accelerates the creation, management, and observability of multimodal data pipelines for enterprise AI.
- The acquisition will enhance Snowflake's service in the 'bronze layer' of the data lifecycle and provide a simpler way for data engineering teams to integrate their enterprise systems with Snowflake's unified platform.
