Databricks Data Warehouse Brickbuilder Migration Solutions Help Businesses Democratize Data and Analytics

Today, we're excited to announce the launch of Data Warehouse Brickbuilder Migration Solutions. This is an expansion to the Brickbuilder Program, which packages together the experience and knowledge of the Databricks partner ecosystem along with pre-built code, modular frameworks, and custom services to help organizations unlock the full potential of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. As organizations increasingly rely on data to boost productivity and fuel innovation, migrating to Databricks enables them to achieve effective data management, utilization and access to data and AI by consolidating the best features of data lakes and data warehouses into one platform.

The Brickbuilder Program, made up of partner solutions and accelerators, began with a focus on industry and migration solutions and quickly expanded to include lakehouse and Unity Catalog accelerators. Each partner solution and accelerator has been thoroughly reviewed and has been proven time and time again to help organizations benefit from the simplicity, unified governance, and openness of the Databricks lakehouse architecture in addressing key business use cases. In particular, Brickbuilder Data Warehouse Migration Solutions incorporate Databricks SQL to help businesses derive impactful insights by translating raw data into data that is actionable, Delta Lake UniForm to serve as the open storage layer to maintain data in one place, and Unity Catalog to provide security and governance.

Let's look further at our partner data warehouse migration solutions, designed to enhance data warehousing capabilities by utilizing the power of Unity Catalog and Databricks SQL (DBSQL). All of these partner solutions operate in multicloud lakehouse architecture to deliver world-class performance and data lake economics. The data warehouse migration partners include Accenture, Avanade, Capgemini, Celebal Technologies, Cognizant, Deloitte, EPAM, Impetus, Infosys, Koantek, Lovelytics, LTIMindtree, Nousot, Onix, Slalom, Tredence, and Wipro.

Data Warehouse Solutions: effective data management, utilization and access to data and AI

Success in lakehouse-based data and AI initiatives hinges on a simplified data architecture, data quality and governance, and scalability and performance. These pillars collectively provide the foundation upon which organizations build their modern data management and analytics strategy.

Databricks SQL, the intelligent data warehouse, built with data intelligence, streamlines SQL-based data transformation, exploration, and analysis while catering to users of diverse technical backgrounds. From BI analysts and data architects to analytics engineers, its intuitive SQL interface facilitates queries and complex data operations without necessitating specialized programming. Furthermore, with features like AI/BI Genie and Dashboards, analysts and business users can use natural language to gain insights from their data. This broadened data access fosters an organization-centric culture, empowering more teams to base decisions on easily obtained data insights.

Finally, Unity Catalog enables Databricks SQL to incorporate advanced data governance, security, and compliance provisions, empowering organizations to uphold data quality, implement access restrictions, oversee data activities, safeguard sensitive data, and adhere to regulatory standards.

The benefits of Databricks SQL include:

• Best price and performance: Lower costs, get world-class performance, and eliminate the need to manage, configure or scale cloud infrastructure with serverless.
• Built-in governance: Establish one single copy for all your data using open standards, and one unified governance layer across all data teams using standard SQL.
• Break down silos: DatabricksIQ powers multiple intelligent experiences that give anyone a simple interface to ask questions and get insights from their data.
• Automated management and tuning: Databricks applies machine learning, powered by DatabricksIQ, to all levels of our stack to automatically improve efficiency and performance for your workloads.
