Struggling with High Snowflake Costs?
We’ll show you how to cut your Snowflake bill by 30-40% by optimizing your write-intensive workloads, all without disrupting your end-users.
Your Snowflake Bill is High for a Reason
Many customers are frustrated by the rising cost of their data warehouse. Often, this is because a ‘lift and shift’ to the cloud creates an ‘economics mismatch’. The real issue is that write-intensive workloads (like data ingest and transformation) can be very expensive and often account for 60-80% of your total Snowflake costs.
The Solution: Augment, Don’t Replace
You don’t need to rip and replace Snowflake. The solution is to augment it.
We Offload Expensive ‘Write’ Workloads
Our strategy is to migrate your select, write-intensive workloads to a highly cost-efficient Spark engine, powered by `watsonx.data`.
Your ‘Read’ Workloads Stay on Snowflake
Your critical reports, dashboards, and end-users are not affected. They continue to query Snowflake for high-speed reads, maintaining performance.
The Results: Drastic Savings, Zero Disruption
~40% Cost Reduction
Real-world testing show a ~40% reduction in compute costs for the migrated workloads.
140% Immediate ROI
This strategy can deliver an immediate 140% return on investment in the first year alone, based on conservative estimates.
0% Disruption
There is no disruption to your end-users. Performance is maintained because query performance relies on Snowflake’s internal cache.
