How it works

Native integration with the Databricks platform

Native integration with the Unity Catalog allows you to centrally manage and audit shared data across organizations. This lets you confidently share data assets with suppliers and partners for better coordination of your business while meeting security and compliance needs.

Easily manage shares

Easily manage shares with CREATE, ALTER, DROP SQL commands or REST APIs. Or leverage Databricks’ intuitive UI to create, edit or remove shares you’ve created or joined.

Discover and access data products through an open marketplace

Easily discover, evaluate and gain access to data products including data sets, machine learning models, dashboards and notebooks from anywhere, without the need to be on the Databricks platform.

Privacy-safe data cleanrooms

Collaborate with your customers and partners on any cloud in a privacy-safe environment. Securely share data from your data lakes without data replication. Meet collaborators on their preferred cloud and provide them the flexibility to run complex computations and workloads in any language — SQL, R, Scala, Java and Python. Guide collaborators through common use cases using predefined templates, notebooks and dashboards, accelerating time to insights.
