Architecture Overview

An Architect is designing a company’s new data platform using Snowflake. The business must comply with credit-card-processing and personal-information laws and regulations.

A prior data platform failed to gain adoption across multiple business departments because each department had many different data and compliance requirements. The company operates globally, with a presence in 4 continents and 35 countries.

How should the account be designed to let each region and department retain control of its data while establishing consistency across the company?

Explanation

A Snowflake organization can centrally manage multiple accounts across regions and cloud platforms, while each account maintains its own users, roles, databases, and warehouses. Separate accounts for regions and departments provide the required administrative and data-control boundaries; additional accounts can isolate environments such as development, test, and production. This model preserves company-wide governance and consistency without forcing all groups into one account.
