Indonesia, 24 March 2023 – Cloud Kinetics, a leading cloud transformation and AWS Managed Service Provider, announced today that it has strengthened its partnership with Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, to drive data-led transformation for businesses across USA, ANZ and Asia. Leveraging Cloud Kinetics’ extensive hybrid and multi-cloud data expertise and Snowflake’s differentiated capabilities, enterprises will be able to build a strong modern data foundation, by way of a comprehensive Data Migration and Modernization service suite.
Cloud Kinetics is amongst the earliest in the APAC region to launch a joint Data Migration and Modernization offering with Snowflake on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, a curated digital catalog that makes it easy for customers to find, test, buy, and deploy the third-party software they want, with the simplified procurement and controls they need.
Cloud Kinetics is also well-poised to enter new markets ripe for digital disruption, consolidating its presence in United States and Australia while making inroads in Thailand and Malaysia in Asia. With the joint offering readily available in AWS Marketplace, enterprises looking for solutions to migrate legacy data sources or eliminate disparate data silos will have easy access to it.
Enabling enterprises to build a modern data foundation
Data silos stifle business growth and are a challenge for many enterprises today. With data growing at an exponential rate, enterprises facing siloed and fragmented data are not able to seamlessly access, share, or tap across organizational and geographical teams to generate actionable insights.
The joint offering will help enterprises break down data silos, move, distill and unify vital business data into a modern data foundation that unlocks analytics & insights, and allows for informed business decisions. Under this partnership, joint customers can migrate their existing on-premise or cloud-hosted databases to a Snowflake environment running on AWS and gain numerous performance benefits right away.
Combining Snowflake’s Data Cloud that requires near-zero maintenance with AWS’s highly scalable and secure infrastructure, the data-driven cloud solutions from Cloud Kinetics will enable enterprises to ingest, process and protect all their data reliably. With elastic engagement models, the joint offering also gives customers greater choice and flexibility to tailor the data migration and modernization process to meet their unique needs.
“Riding on our growth momentum in the APAC region, we are thrilled to deepen our ongoing partnership with Snowflake to better serve our customers. 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, capitalizing on Snowflake’s intelligent data capabilities running on AWS,” said Saleh M “Haji” Munshi, Group CEO of Cloud Kinetics. “We look forward to extending and evolving our robust data service offerings to bring high value to our customers, so they can truly thrive and innovate in the digital-first world.”
“Our customers’ businesses are growing at an exponential rate and data silos present one of the biggest challenges that may jeopardize this growth,” said Ash Willis, Vice President, Partners and Alliances APJ at Snowflake. “Snowflake’s expanded partnership with Cloud Kinetics will help enterprises in the region with their Data Migration and Modernization journey, making the adoption smoother and faster for the end customer.”
