So what
While the broader market saw bearish pressures in Tuesday's daily session due to rising concerns about signs the economy is slowing, the announcement of the partnership between Striim and Snowflake has managed to push the latter company's share price climb. Striim for Snowflake will be a data-streaming solution that allows for the loading, integration, and synchronization of data from enterprise databases from Oracle, Microsoft, and PostgreSQL.
Now what
Striim for Snowflake has the potential to be a significant selling point for Snowflake's Data Cloud platform. The recently announced service will bring new data-streaming capabilities to Data Cloud and potentially strengthens both Snowflake's and Striim's positions relative to competitors. Snowflake's core data-warehousing platform offers users the ability to combine and analyze data from disparate cloud infrastructure sources, and adding data-streaming capabilities stands to strengthen Data Cloud's overall information management and analytics capabilities.
