Further defining Supercloud With tech leaders VMware, Snowflake, Databricks & others

Published: Aug. 17, 2022, 2 p.m.

At our inaugural Supercloud22 event we sought community input to evolve the concept of a supercloud by iterating on the definition, the salient attributes and examples of what is and is not a supercloud. We asked several technologists including experts from VMware, Snowflake, Databricks, HashiCorp, Confluent, Intuit, Cohesity and others to help test the supercloud definition, operational models, service models and principles.\xa0

In this Breaking Analysis we unpack our discussions with these technology leaders and apply their input to iterate the definition of supercloud. We then go in-depth to examine Snowflake\u2019s Data Cloud architecture as a leading example of supercloud.
