作為一家炙手可熱的云軟件企業(yè),Snowflake為自己制定了宏偉的發(fā)展目標(biāo):成為甲骨文(Oracle)、微軟(Microsoft)等商業(yè)科技巨頭的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。

Snowflake在6月8日公布的戰(zhàn)略顯示,該公司除了為客戶存儲(chǔ)、分析自有數(shù)據(jù)提供服務(wù),還將發(fā)力業(yè)務(wù)軟件與數(shù)據(jù)集托管業(yè)務(wù),讓客戶可以隨時(shí)訪問使用。

公司的首席執(zhí)行官弗蘭克·斯魯特曼在接受《財(cái)富》訪問時(shí)說:“我們的最終目標(biāo)是打造龐大的‘?dāng)?shù)據(jù)云’,讓所有擁有Snowflake賬戶的用戶均可參與其中。”

Snowflake現(xiàn)有云數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)業(yè)務(wù)業(yè)績(jī)表現(xiàn)亮眼。一季度營(yíng)收為2.29億美元,同比增長(zhǎng)110%。與此同時(shí),其剩余履約價(jià)值(RPO——代表合同保證但尚未實(shí)現(xiàn)的收入)增長(zhǎng)了兩倍有余,達(dá)14億美元。

自去年9月首次公開募股以來,Snowflake的股價(jià)一直處于震蕩之中。該公司IPO時(shí)的股價(jià)為120美元,隨后在去年12月達(dá)到峰值429美元,幾周前暴跌至不足185美元,后又于6月4日反彈至243美元。

雖然股價(jià)波動(dòng)巨大,但許多投資者依然看好Snowflake將成長(zhǎng)為下一個(gè)科技巨頭。事實(shí)上,該公司的人氣極高,市值已經(jīng)高達(dá)720億美元,超過了VMware、惠普(Hewlett Packard)、Workday等規(guī)模更大也更成熟的科技公司。

不過在與甲骨文、微軟、亞馬遜(Amazon)、谷歌(Google)等科技巨頭以及Databricks等初創(chuàng)企業(yè)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中,Snowflake依然面臨嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)。首先,該公司虧損嚴(yán)重,僅一季度凈虧損額就高達(dá)2.03億美元。其次,Snowflake與其競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手也都在競(jìng)相為各自的云數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)產(chǎn)品增加功能并提升產(chǎn)品的性能表現(xiàn)。

在最新的擴(kuò)張計(jì)劃公布前,摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)的分析師基思·維斯就對(duì)Snowflake的未來發(fā)展表明了樂觀態(tài)度。他在最近的一份報(bào)告中寫道:“在執(zhí)行招攬、大幅擴(kuò)張大客戶的戰(zhàn)略方面,Snowflake成績(jī)斐然,在打造企業(yè)數(shù)據(jù)云平臺(tái)的愿景方面,該公司也已經(jīng)取得初步進(jìn)展。”

創(chuàng)業(yè)之初,Snowflake專注于存儲(chǔ)、分析種類有限的商業(yè)數(shù)據(jù),提供所謂“數(shù)據(jù)倉(cāng)庫(kù)”服務(wù),現(xiàn)在,為證明其市值的合理性并進(jìn)一步推高公司股價(jià),該公司計(jì)劃進(jìn)行業(yè)務(wù)拓展。公司的首席執(zhí)行官斯魯特曼稱:“與我們所追求的‘?dāng)?shù)據(jù)云’相比,數(shù)據(jù)倉(cāng)庫(kù)已經(jīng)是一個(gè)過時(shí)的概念了。”

借助Snowflake提供的新服務(wù),客戶能夠自行編寫可以在Snowflake系統(tǒng)上運(yùn)行的應(yīng)用程序,也能夠使用外部應(yīng)用程序直接訪問存儲(chǔ)在Snowflake中的數(shù)據(jù)。

長(zhǎng)期以來,Snowflake一直在托管客戶可以使用的數(shù)據(jù)集,例如歷史天氣或經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)等,不過經(jīng)過此次業(yè)務(wù)拓展之后,數(shù)據(jù)所有者將能夠針對(duì)這些數(shù)據(jù)在Snowflake系統(tǒng)中的使用收取費(fèi)用。

投資管理公司貝萊德(BlackRock)、食品配送公司Instacart及知名軟件開發(fā)企業(yè)Adobe等公司均已經(jīng)同意開發(fā)可以在Snowflake系統(tǒng)上運(yùn)行的應(yīng)用程序。與此同時(shí),包括IT咨詢公司印孚瑟斯(Infosys)、數(shù)據(jù)安全公司Okera和人工智能自動(dòng)化公司DataRobot在內(nèi)的多家公司也都已經(jīng)同意讓自己的外部軟件應(yīng)用程序與Snowflake系統(tǒng)實(shí)現(xiàn)互操作。

在收緊數(shù)據(jù)流動(dòng)自由度方面,歐洲及部分其它地區(qū)正在推動(dòng)相關(guān)規(guī)則的制訂,此舉或?qū)⑦M(jìn)一步凸顯Snowflake的作用。此前,客戶已經(jīng)能夠制訂相關(guān)規(guī)則,限定數(shù)據(jù)在自己組織內(nèi)部的用途。而現(xiàn)在,Snowflake的客戶更是可以在不對(duì)外分享數(shù)據(jù)或不讓其它客戶看到自己數(shù)據(jù)的前提下,讓其它客戶使用自己的數(shù)據(jù)來分析或訓(xùn)練人工智能系統(tǒng)。Snowflake還創(chuàng)造了“數(shù)據(jù)無塵室”(data clean room)這一概念,在數(shù)據(jù)無塵室中,他人能夠?qū)τ脩舻臄?shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行分析,但卻無法進(jìn)行復(fù)制。

在新冠疫情和遠(yuǎn)程工作熱潮雙重因素的影響之下,Snowflake于近期宣布將不再將其位于加州圣馬特奧的辦事處稱為“總部”,改將運(yùn)營(yíng)基地列為“無總部/蒙大拿州博茲曼”

“對(duì)于業(yè)務(wù)遍布全球的現(xiàn)代企業(yè)來說,‘總部’這一概念已經(jīng)不合時(shí)宜。”斯魯特曼解釋道,“公司的所有關(guān)鍵人物必須在同一個(gè)地方工作?一起散步?一起午餐?然后一起謀劃大局做出重要決策?其他人都遠(yuǎn)離決策中心?這種想法毫無道理可言。”

他還補(bǔ)充說道,公司做出這種調(diào)整也是為了在硅谷之外找到更多薪水更低的程序員和工程師。

那么,Snowflake為何要在申報(bào)清單中將博茲曼列為所謂的“總部”呢?這是因?yàn)榘凑辗煞ㄒ?guī)的要求,企業(yè)必須申報(bào)一個(gè)總部,而且首席執(zhí)行官和首席財(cái)務(wù)官都必須住在這里,斯魯特曼和公司的首席財(cái)務(wù)官邁克·斯卡佩里在博茲曼都有房子,故而該公司就將此處列為了所謂“總部”。

斯魯特曼說:“不是我們想把博茲曼設(shè)為總部,而是因?yàn)檎哂羞@種要求。如果政府沒有規(guī)定企業(yè)必須設(shè)置行政辦公室,我們就會(huì)取消這種安排。”(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Buzzy cloud-software company Snowflake has some big long-term plans: becoming a major rival to business tech giants like Oracle and Microsoft.

The strategy to get there, revealed on June 8, is to make Snowflake more than just a service that clients use to store and analyze their own data. Rather, the company will host business software and data sets that customers can tap when they want.

"Our end game is to build a massive data cloud where anybody with a Snowflake account is plugged in," CEO Frank Slootman tells Fortune.

Snowflake's existing cloud-database business is already doing well. In the first quarter, companywide sales jumped 110% from the same period a year earlier to $229 million. And the amount of money customers had committed to spend in the future with Snowflake more than tripled to $1.4 billion.

Since its initial public offering in September, Snowflake's shares have been volatile. Its stock, priced at $120 in the IPO, peaked at $429 in December, plunged to less than $185 a few weeks ago, and then rebounded to $243 on June 4.

Despite the gyrations, many investors expect Snowflake to become one of the next big things. In fact, the buzz is so great that the company's market value of $72 billion tops those of far bigger and more established tech companies like VMware, Hewlett Packard, and Workday.

Yet Snowflake faces significant challenges in its rivalry with Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and startups like Databricks. For one thing, it's losing huge amounts of money—$203 million in the most recent quarter alone. It's also racing to add features and improve performance to its cloud-database offerings as rivals do the same.

Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss voiced optimism about Snowflake before the latest expansion plans were announced. In a recent note, he wrote, "Snowflake is executing well on its strategy to sign and then significantly expand large customers" and that it has shown "early progress advancing its vision as an enterprise data cloud platform."

To justify its market value and drive its stock even higher, Snowflake plans to expand beyond its early business that focused on storing and analyzing limited kinds of business data, known as a data warehouse. "Data warehousing is such an outdated concept compared to what we're pursuing with the data cloud," CEO Slootman says.

Under the new Snowflake, customers would be able to write their own applications that would run on Snowflake's system. Clients would also be able to use outside applications to tap directly into data stored with Snowflake.

And while Snowflake has long hosted sets of data that clients can use, like historical weather or economic figures, it's adding ways for the owners of that data to charge for its use within Snowflake's system.

Companies that have agreed to build apps that run on Snowflake's system include money manager BlackRock, food delivery service Instacart, and software developer Adobe. Meanwhile, companies including IT consulting company Infosys, data security firm Okera, and A.I. automation company DataRobot have all agreed to make their outside software apps interoperate with Snowflake's systems.

A push for stricter rules that limit the flow of data in Europe and elsewhere could make Snowflake more useful. Already, customers can set rules about how data is used within the customer's own organization. Now a customer using Snowflake can let another customer use its data to analyze or train an A.I. system without letting the other actually see or share any of the data. Snowflake has even invented the concept of a "data clean room," in which a user's data can be analyzed without any chance of being copied.

Amid the pandemic, and the remote-work trend, Snowflake recently stopped calling its San Mateo, Calif., office its legal headquarters. It now lists its base of operations as "No-Headquarters/Bozeman, Montana."

"The whole notion of a 'headquarters' is inappropriate for modern enterprises that are globally distributed," Slootman explains. "The idea that all the important people are in one place, and they're hanging out together, and having lunch together, and they think big thoughts and make big decisions, and everybody else is sort of far removed from the action? This is complete nonsense."

The shift is also about finding cheaper and more plentiful programmers and engineers outside of Silicon Valley, the CEO adds.

So why do the company's filings list Bozeman as its sort-of headquarters? Regulations require companies to declare a headquarters where both CEO and CFO live, and Slootman and CFO Mike Scarpelli both have houses in Bozeman.

“The whole Bozeman thing was not our idea,” Slootman says. “I would not have had another executive office if it wasn't for the government saying you have to have one.”
