Data and AI company Databricks has launched Databricks Partner Connect, a new portal that lets customers acquire and store data, analytics, and AI tools in their Databricks lakehouse.
The company says Partner Connect processes information from clusters, tokens, and connection files and connects them with data ingestion, BI and ML tools.
Ali Ghodsi, CEO and Co-Founder of Databricks, said: "With Partner Connect, we're able to open up the Databricks Lakehouse Platform to partners in new ways that will make it much easier for us to collectively serve customers better.”
"Partners will be able to directly reach Databricks customers with their solutions in the moment, and our sales and marketing teams will be able to collaborate closely to solve customer challenges."
The solution allows customers to integrate the data tools they already use and extend their data lakehouse capabilities to fit their needs.
Databricks customers can enjoy the benefits of Partner Connect at no additional cost, as well as new partner solutions, pre-built lakehouse integrations, and machine learning models as they are added to the ecosystem.
With the introduction of Partner Connect, Databricks plans to “expand customer engagement with strategic partners and deliver an integrated data ecosystem for lakehouse.”
