FME by Safe Software Now Runs Inside Snowflake, Delivering Faster, Safer, In-Database Data Integration

Safe Software, a provider of innovative data integration solutions announced the availability of Safe Software’s FME Remote Engines Service on Snowflake Marketplace. Snowflake users now have the ability to run FME’s high-performance engine directly within Snowpark Container Services. This new deployment model results in faster, more secure data integration and transformation, reducing processing time by up to 30%.

Since 2019, Safe Software has collaborated with Snowflake to streamline migrations to Snowflake and connect to the many systems that they run on. By making Safe Software’s FME Remote Engines Service available on Snowflake Marketplace, the engine can now run inside customers’ Snowflake environments for increased performance and security.

This native integration means that users can now have the option to move FME data processing workflows that connect Snowflake from running outside Snowflake to running inside. The FME data ecosystem includes 1,000’s of systems, including but not limited to formats such as LiDAR point clouds (LAS/LAZ), cloud-optimized GeoTIFFs (COG), scientific datasets like NetCDF and HDF5, and complex BIM/CAD designs including Revit and IFC files and much more. This allows organizations to seamlessly fuse all their data, including their most advanced spatial, sensor, and 3D data, with their core business intelligence for more holistic and powerful insights.
