Techday's 10 Minute IT Jams provide sharp, to-the-point insights into emerging and established technology companies that operate in the Asia-Pacific region.

Snowflake is a company that deals with data in a big way. More than 500 million queries run on Snowflake’s data cloud each day, accounting for more than 250 petabytes of data. Helping to manage that massive amount of data is a team of more than 2000 employees across the world.

We speak to Snowflake's Asia Pacific vice president of sales, Peter O'Connor.

In this video, Peter explains:

  • Snowflake's key products and offerings
  • Recent product and company announcements from the 2020 Data Cloud Summit and more
  • What infrastructure and resources Snowflake has in the A/NZ market
  • How partners and enterprise end-users can engage with Snowflake.
