Dell is partnering with high-profile cloud-based data analytics vendor Snowflake to enable organizations to take the data they're keeping in their data centers in Dell object storage and run it in Snowflake's Data Cloud while keeping the data on premises or copying it to the public cloud, an important capability for companies with data sovereignty or privacy concerns who can't freely move it around.

In another move to bridge the gap between data stored in central data center and in public clouds, Dell at the show is demonstrating how its block and file storage platforms can run in public clouds and how companies can buy the software as a managed service via cloud credits.

Enterprises can store their data in isolated and immutable data vaults in the cloud.

The company late last year made its PowerProtect Cyber Recovery software available in AWS. The software is designed to isolate and protect data from ransomware and other threats, including using analytics and machine learning techniques to monitor the integrity of the data and detect attacks.

"Customers want to keep some of that data in their data center, but they still want to use that with their Snowflake-based analytics by not changing where the analytics run by keeping the data in place," she said.

"We've been able to collaborate to enable Snowflake's external table capability to read the data that exists on our on-prem object storage capabilities of either ECS or ObjectScale so that you can actually read that data and keep it in place but leverage that with the other cloud-based data that you have in the Snowflake platform."
