Data and AI specialist Databricks has announced new partners in its Delta Sharing ecosystem that allows live data to be securely shared from a lakehouse to any computing platform.

A key characteristic of Delta Sharing is that it enables enterprises to share and consume data from any platform or vendor that supports the open Delta Sharing protocol.

"Without an open standard for secure data exchange across organisations, companies find it highly time-consuming to collaborate, requiring export, replication and maintenance of data across many software platforms," said Databricks co-founder and CTO Matei Zaharia.

"Delta Sharing provides the first open protocol for sharing data across diverse computing platforms, clouds and regions. Today's announcements show just how much demand there is for this in the industry, with multiple major technology vendors joining the ecosystem. We are excited about how this will push open interchange forward and help all of our customers collaborate more easily."

New Delta Sharing partners include Cloudflare, Dell, Oracle and Twilio.

This means users of these platforms can seamlessly share live data with Databricks, Apache Spark, pandas, PowerBI, Excel and any other system that supports the open protocol.

"We are in the midst of an AI revolution rooted in data," said Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince.

"Cloudflare R2 provides an amazing value proposition for companies that suffer from vendor lock-in, and instead ensures developers retain the power to choose where to move and use their data. The combination of Cloudflare's massive global network and zero egress storage, along with Databricks' powerful sharing and processing capabilities, will give our joint customers the fastest, most secure, and most affordable data sharing capabilities across the globe."

Dell Technologies senior vice president of data management product management Greg Findlen said "Dell and Databricks are helping organisations adopt multi-cloud by design with the newly announced ability to access and combine data across on-premises and cloud environments, and securely sharing that data through Delta Sharing."

Twilio Segment vice president of product Kevin Niparko said "The ability to easily access and activate quality data is the key to unlocking the full potential of machine learning and AI.

"This hinges on having the right data foundation in place, supported by flexible and secure data sharing between platforms. As every business looks to capitalise on AI, we're excited about our Delta Sharing partnership with Databricks and the combined potential of Twilio Segment's customer data platform, Twilio CustomerAI, and interoperability with the data warehouses that make it simpler for companies to move, analyse and activate their data, and deliver personalised experiences to their customers in real time."
