Data environments have grown increasingly complex. It means data issues, such as broken data pipelines, incomplete datasets, or schema changes, can be detrimental to the business if not properly handled or prevented.
In this vein, Kensu, a data observability company, is partnering with cloud-based data storage firm Snowflake. It will give data practitioners fuller visibility into their real-time information by harnessing Snowflake's expansive capabilities for storing, processing, and analyzing large amounts of information.
The Kensu Platform, Powered by Snowflake, will provide joint customers with advanced analytics and comprehensive master data management. The Powered by Snowflake program gives builders access to the resources they need to design, market, and operate their applications in the Data Cloud.
By building the Kensu Platform on Snowflake, Kensu will be able to deliver solutions to data teams while preventing data issues through its core architecture. It addresses current industry challenges and offers data teams a new way to lower maintenance costs, mitigate risks associated with their data assets, and improve scalability.
“We’re excited to partner with Snowflake and build within the Data Cloud to further the availability of data observability at the source to companies from small to large enterprises. This is an important step in ensuring data teams have the 360 data observability they need and can trust what they deliver,” said Eleanor Treharne-Jones, chief executive officer of Kensu.
The Kensu Community Edition is powered by Snowflake’s single, integrated platform, enabling more users to seamlessly deploy Kensu’s agent-based approach to deliver real-time, contextual data observations with a free, unlimited-time developer environment.
“Snowflake’s mission is to mobilize the world’s data, and we aim to do that through partnerships like the one we have with Kensu,” said Scott Schilling, senior director of global partner development at Snowflake. “We look forward to watching the Kensu Platform enhance our customers’ ability to trust and mobilize their data in the service of the enterprise as a Powered by Snowflake partner.”
Kensu’s data observability solution helps companies manage risks, costs, and other drawbacks associated with data incidents. It also enables them to extract more value from their data through scalable technologies that provide detailed insights into what is happening in real time.
Meanwhile, Snowflake’s platform enables companies to operate large-scale, complex applications without the infrastructure burden traditionally associated with this software. By building on Snowflake, product and engineering teams can develop, scale, and operate their applications and deliver differentiated products to their customers.
