Whitepapers

This whitepaper highlights Snowflake’s innovative approach to modern data governance with its Horizon and Polaris Catalogs, complemented by the Sync Service. It addresses the challenges of traditional on-premises systems and fragmented cloud environments, showcasing how Snowflake offers a unified solution for secure data management, sharing, and interoperability. Horizon Catalog provides governance within the Snowflake ecosystem, while Polaris Catalog extends this to open-format Iceberg tables across multiple clouds. 

The Sync Service bridges these catalogs, enabling real-time synchronization. By leveraging these tools, businesses can achieve enhanced data discovery, cross-cloud consistency, regulatory compliance, and secure collaboration, ultimately unlocking greater efficiency and innovation.
