Frequently Asked Questions

Snowflake

Is One51 a Snowflake partner?

Yes. One51 has delivered Snowflake implementations for major Australian organisations including KFC Australia, where we were awarded Supplier of the Year in 2022 in the Data and Analytics category.

What is Snowpipe?

Snowpipe is Snowflake's continuous data ingestion service for near-real-time loading from cloud storage or event streams. We use it for transaction processing, marketing event streams and operational monitoring.

What is Snowflake?

Snowflake is a cloud-native data platform providing scalable, high-performance data storage, analytics, engineering, data sharing and AI. It is particularly well known for separating storage and compute, allowing independent scaling.

Can One51 migrate our existing data warehouse to Snowflake?

Yes. We have delivered migrations from SQL Server, Azure Synapse and other platforms to Snowflake - including data profiling, schema translation, quality validation and parallel running before cutover.

What is the difference between Snowflake and Microsoft Fabric?

Snowflake is a multi-cloud platform with strengths in elastic scaling and secure data sharing. Fabric is Microsoft's unified SaaS platform integrating data engineering, storage, analytics and Power BI. One51 is certified across both and provides unbiased recommendations.

How does One51 approach Snowflake data governance?

We implement Snowflake Horizon Catalog for cataloguing, lineage and governance. Role-based access control, row-level security, data masking and dynamic data policies are configured as standard in every deployment.

What is Snowflake data sharing?

Snowflake's data sharing allows organisations to share live data with external parties - partners, regulators, suppliers - without copying or moving it. One51 used this to build VMI platforms for major QSR organisations, enabling secure real-time sharing with supplier networks.

What reporting tools connect to Snowflake?

Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Excel and others through standard ODBC/JDBC and native connectors. We design and implement the semantic layer above Snowflake for performant, governed reporting.

Can Snowflake support AI and ML workloads?

Yes. Through Snowpark (Python, Java and Scala ML development) and Cortex AI (generative AI and text analytics). One51 has delivered sentiment analysis solutions using Snowflake and Azure Cognitive Services.

How does Snowflake handle large data volumes?

Through separation of storage and compute. Virtual Warehouses scale independently of storage, and multiple warehouses query the same data simultaneously without resource contention.
