Ben Kus, Box & Chris Child, Snowflake | Snowflake Summit 2025

Описание: In this interview at Snowflake Summit 2025, Box CTO Ben Kus and Snowflake VP of Product, Data Engineering Chris Child join theCUBE’s Dave Vellante and John Furrier live on the show floor to unpack the new Snowflake Openflow partnership. The conversation spotlights how Box’s rich store of unstructured content – from documents to video – can now flow directly into the AI Data Cloud, unlocking seamless analytics and AI development alongside enterprise-grade governance.

Kus explains why customers have struggled to extract insights from content siloed in traditional file repositories and how Openflow’s open-standards approach removes ETL friction while preserving security and compliance. Child details the data-engineering breakthroughs behind Openflow, outlining how zero-copy sharing, lakehouse openness and Snowflake Cortex APIs give developers a single pane of glass for building, scaling and governing AI workloads across structured and unstructured data.

The discussion also explores real-world use cases: accelerating AI-powered search across millions of Box files, orchestrating multi-cloud pipelines without vendor lock-in and unifying cost governance under Snowflake’s consumption model. Viewers will gain fresh insight into Snowflake’s vision as “connective tissue” for enterprise AI, the strategic road map for Box-Snowflake collaboration and what the next wave of intelligent apps could mean for data teams everywhere.
