Cloud Kinetics, a leading cloud transformation and AWS Managed Service Provider in the ASEAN region, has announced an enhanced partnership with Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, aimed at accelerating data-led transformation for businesses in Southeast Asia.
With Cloud Kinetics’ extensive expertise in hybrid and multi-cloud data and Snowflake’s unique capabilities, enterprises will be empowered to establish a robust modern data foundation through a comprehensive suite of Data Migration and Modernisation services.
This extended partnership is after Snowflake’s recent debut in Jakarta, Indonesia, recognising the country as a priority market for both companies due to its rapid growth as one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies.
Cloud Kinetics, headquartered in Singapore, is among the pioneers in the region to offer a joint Data Migration and Modernization solution with Snowflake on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. The Marketplace provides customers with a simplified procurement process and controls, making it effortless to find, test, purchase, and deploy third-party software.
Cloud Kinetics is also poised to enter new markets in Southeast Asia and beyond, catering to the growing demand for digital disruption. By making the joint offering readily available on AWS Marketplace, enterprises seeking solutions to migrate legacy data sources or consolidate disparate data silos will have convenient access to these services.
Data silos pose significant challenges to business growth in today’s data-driven landscape. With data expanding at an exponential rate, enterprises face difficulties accessing, sharing, and harnessing insights from fragmented data stored across different departments and locations.
The joint offering between Cloud Kinetics and Snowflake aims to dismantle data silos, enabling enterprises to migrate, refine, and unify crucial business data within a modern data foundation.
This foundation unlocks analytics and insights, empowering informed decision-making. Joint customers can seamlessly migrate their existing on-premise or cloud-hosted databases to a Snowflake environment running on AWS, experiencing immediate performance benefits.
By combining Snowflake’s near-zero maintenance Data Cloud with AWS’s highly scalable and secure infrastructure, Cloud Kinetics’ data-driven cloud solutions will facilitate reliable ingestion, processing, and protection of all enterprise data. The joint offering also provides elastic engagement models, offering customers the flexibility to tailor the data migration and modernization process to their specific requirements.
“Riding on our growth momentum in Asia, we are thrilled to deepen our ongoing partnership with Snowflake to better serve the Southeast Asian markets. This marks a significant step for us to empower more businesses in the region to accelerate their digital transformation journey and keep pace with rapid data growth, capitalising on Snowflake’s intelligent data capabilities running on AWS,” said Saleh M “Haji” Munshi, Group CEO of Cloud Kinetics.
“Our customers’ businesses in ASEAN are growing at an exponential rate and data silos present one of the biggest challenges that may jeopardise this growth,” said Ash Willis, Vice President, of Partners and Alliances APJ at Snowflake.
