Snowflake's new feature, Snowpark, is enabling data engineers, data scientists, and developers to now run Java/UDF functions from Snowflake's single, integrated platform. With this new capability, Elysium Analytics will be offering graph modeling and advanced ML analytics running natively on Snowflake for better performance, stronger security, and lower operational overhead in the next major release.
Although the Elysium Analytics solution is already primarily running natively on Snowflake, there were certain data science capabilities missing with SQL-only interaction with the data and data processes, such as graph modeling, and advanced ML analytics had to run on other platforms. With Snowpark, developers are no longer limited to interacting with Snowflake through SQL and can now write code in their preferred language, build efficient and powerful pipelines with familiar constructs, and bring in third-party libraries. Executing directly with Snowflake to seamlessly leverage the platform's performance, near-infinite scalability and near-zero maintenance brings significant benefits to development environments as well as end-user outcomes.
"We are excited to be part of the Snowpark program as we aim towards an architecture which no longer requires separate Spark clusters for ML processes. In our efforts developing graph modeling and ML analytics features, being able to run the data processing natively in Snowflake allows us to optimize the data processing with no need to move data from one platform to another," said Satish Abburi, Founder and CTO of Elysium Analytics. "With our graph modeling and advanced ML analytics running natively on Snowflake with Snowpark, we are no longer limited to SQL and are now a step even closer to a truly Snowflake-native platform with one data store."
Snowpark's new capabilities supporting ML-based profiling of every digital activity in an organization natively in Snowflake is a significant step forward achieving optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.
"Snowflake is excited to be able to support Elysium Analytics with even broader capabilities supporting advanced ML analytics," said Omer Singer, Head of Cyber Security Strategy at Snowflake. "Our mission is to mobilize the world's data by giving even more users the ability to achieve powerful data insights with Snowflake's Data Cloud. Elysium Analytics' development on Snowpark demonstrates that our partners can do even more on Snowflake's single, integrated platform and execute directly with Snowflake to seamlessly leverage the platform's performance, near-infinite scalability and near-zero maintenance."
Elysium Analytics' graph model and machine learning-based advanced analytics will be available on Snowpark in the second half of 2021.
About Elysium Analytics
Elysium Analytics believes that all data can be transformed into information. With about 90% of an organization's data being Dark Data and most companies only analyzing 1% of their data today, a modern, more cost-effective solution is required. Elysium Analytics provide Unified Observability across the organization by combining Snowflake's cloud scale with simple data collection, search, advanced analytics, and graph analytics from one data store with a usage-based billing model.
When Cado Lee Ka-to carried Hong Kong’s flag into the Paloma Mizuho Stadium on Sunday, he did so at the head of what remained of the most successful Asian Games delegation in the city’s history. While only a handful of the 580 athletes who made up the team attended the closing ceremony, their impact will be felt far beyond the past fortnight, although it may be in what wasn’t achieved that a lasting legacy is created. At first glance, an overall medal count of 54, only one more than the previous...
Japan is traditionally seen as a reliable host for major sporting events but an Asian Games dogged by organisational woes has tarnished that image and raised questions over future bids, experts say. The Games in Aichi-Nagoya saw a catalogue of mishaps, from athletes bused to the wrong venues to the North Korean national anthem played for the South Korean hockey team. There were not enough beds for the over 17,000 athletes and officials, a bigger number than the Olympics. Countries complained of...
There has been a common theme running through Hong Kong’s Asian Games gold medallists when it comes to talking about the pressure of being on top: Siobhan Haughey and James Christie both referred to it as a privilege, and it would not be a surprise to discover it is an entirely alien concept to Coleman Wong Chak-lam. Before Saturday, Hong Kong had never won a medal in men’s tennis at the Games, let alone gold. Faced with making history, adding another title to the city’s growing collection and...
More than 30,000 Hong Kong fans gave Gianni Infantino their raucous verdict on his leadership of world football on Saturday, before and after watching the city team beat Cambodia 2-0 to be crowned inaugural Fifa Asean Challenge Cup champions. Infantino, the Fifa president, was lustily booed when he delivered the trophy to the pitch alongside local football association president Pui Kwan-kay before kick-off. When he returned to present the spoils to Hong Kong, the stadium PA was raised to an...

There are very few certainties in life, although Hong Kong’s men winning rugby sevens gold at the Asian Games could well be one of them. A 26-0 win over China on Saturday sealed a third consecutive title for the city’s team at the Games, and it is now 12 years since they last lost a match at the multi-sport event. Their mainland opponents had already been beaten 22-0 in a Pool A game on Friday, and a first-half double from Harry Sayers ended any threat of an upset. Bryn Phillips added a third,...
Jamie Richards thinks an inside draw could actually help rather than hinder Lahore as he goes for a straight-track hat-trick in the Class Three Shing Mun Handicap (1,000m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The son of Hellbent has had his share of issues, requiring throat surgery in July 2025 and then bleeding from both nostrils in February of this year, but he roared back to life when returning in May, decimating a Class Four field by two and a half lengths. He backed that up with a gutsy success from a...
Hong Kong windsurfers Wong Tsz-ho and Cheung Tsz-yuet both won Asian Games titles on Saturday, taking the city’s gold medal count into double figures for the first time since its athletes started competing in the multi-sport event in 1954. With Coleman Wong Chak-lam’s triumph in the men’s singles little more than an hour earlier securing a record-equalling eighth gold, victory on the water made it nine and 10 for the delegation in Japan. Not even a lack of wind at Kaiyoh Yacht Harbor could spoil...
Still basking in the glow of Group Three glory on Thursday, David Eustace is keen to continue his momentum with a strong team of eight runners at Sha Tin on Sunday. The British trainer claimed his second Group Three success in Hong Kong when Colourful King cruised to victory in the National Day Cup (1,000m) under Zac Purton. Bidding to add to that success, Eustace is confident in his dirt representatives on the mixed 11-race card, which include Loch Tay and Definitive in the feature Class Two...
Siobhan Haughey called “pressure a privilege” on her way to adding yet more Asian Games gold to an already glittering resume – anyone watching Coleman Wong Chak-lam win his historic men’s singles title on Saturday might have been left wondering if he even knows what pressure is. The Hongkonger needed just one chance to wrap up a straight sets victory over China’s Wu Yibing, and for all the world looked as though he was just firing down aces on the practice court, and not on the verge of doing...
A Hong Kong team “in transition” will battle upwardly mobile and ambitious Cambodia on Saturday for the unremarkable honour of being crowned Fifa Asean Challenge Cup champions. Although the city team copped some flak for their performance in a 2-0 victory over Brunei on Wednesday, having trounced the same opponents 10-0 three years ago, Roberto Losada and his players should be cut some slack after the head coach made nine changes from the 4-0 victory over Laos three days earlier. Equally, Hong...
Hong Kong has become the latest stop on Gianni Infantino’s global tour to shore up support ahead of next year’s Fifa presidential election. The under-fire boss, who is still recovering from the fallout of his ill-fated plan to sell off the World Cup, arrived in the city on Friday and is expected to stay for the inaugural Fifa Asean Challenge Cup final between Hong Kong and Cambodia at Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. While Eric Fok Kai-shan, chairman of the Football Association of Hong Kong, China...
