Announcing the Databricks storage ecosystem: Governing the enterprise data estate, wherever it lives
Databricks has launched a new storage ecosystem that allows enterprises to govern and utilize their data estate, regardless of its location. This ecosystem connects hybrid and on-premises storage directly to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform using the OpenSharing protocol. This zero-copy architecture enables organizations to run Databricks Serverless Compute, Genie, and LLMs on their existing data without needing to move it, facilitating GenAI and advanced analytics on sensitive or large-scale datasets.

IMPACT Enables enterprises to run AI and GenAI workloads directly on sensitive or large-scale on-premises data without costly migration.
