Eleven cloud storage companies have formed the Data Cloud Alliance. It will work to make it easier to transfer data between different platforms and make it easier to access it for different business systems.
The alliance includes Google Cloud, Accenture, Confluent, Databricks, Dataiku, Deloitte, Elastic, Fivetran, MongoDB, Neo4j, Redis, and Starburst. It is noteworthy that Snowflake applied for the Data Cloud Alliance trademark in 2020, but later canceled the registration and did not enter the created alliance.
The idea is to make life easier for the customers of the member companies of the alliance. Together, businesses will work on an bbabo.netI that will enable data transfer between their platforms and easy access to that data. They will also create "new common shared data models, processes and ways to integrate platforms," says Google.
It should be noted that the majority of alliance partners do not compete, but offer services that complement each other. Many of them have previously collaborated with Google - for example, some Confluent, Elastic, MongoDB, Neo4j and Redis Labs services are integrated with Google Cloud.
Google emphasizes that the mission of the alliance is that "data access has never been an obstacle to digital transformation."
“Data is the common foundation for all digital transformations. Open data standards, access and integration between the most popular platforms will significantly accelerate the digital transformation of business,” concluded Gerrit Kazmaier, vice president of Google Cloud.
