# Snowflake

Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform.

Tonic Structural can move data from one database to another within a single Snowflake instance. Structural can also move data between Snowflake instances.

A Structural workspace can connect to Snowflake databases either on AWS or on Azure Blob Storage. If you use Google Cloud Platform (GCP), contact Tonic.ai.

Snowflake workspaces include an intermediate location to host the source and destination data.
