We're opening more spots in the Private Preview of Default Storage for Unity Catalog to our community.
If you’ve ever been frustrated with the current Lakehouse experience, you may want to check out this new simplified, optimized approach. Default storage streamlines your journey to Unity Catalog by managing the storage for your Catalogs, relieving you from cloud infrastructure management and empowering your data teams to focus on governed data and core AI tasks right away.
Default storage for Unity Catalog is a game-changer in how you manage your data. With only one click, you can create a new catalog and avoid having to configure a cloud storage location for your data. This means you can eliminate the hassle of manually configuring cloud settings and security every time you create a new catalog using an external location. Whether it's tables, files, or ml models, using Default storage for your catalogs ensures they're securely stored, isolated, and governed by Unity Catalog. Default storage is optimized to work with Serverless compute (SQL warehouse, Workflow, Notebook) during the private preview. More details can be found in the documentation.
Here are the key benefits:
- Seamless onboarding: Default storage for Unity Catalog seamlessly integrates with your existing Databricks platform, making it easy to get started with a new catalog for your new team and data projects.
- Zero cloud management overhead: Your time is the most valuable asset. Default storage allows you to focus on data in Unity Catalog without worrying about managing the storage under the hood.
- Out-of-the-box security and unified access control: Your data's security is our top priority. Default storage for Unity Catalog comes with out-of-the-box governance, fine-grained encryption, and a secured network, giving you peace of mind.
- Unified billing and cost observability: Default storage simplifies your organization’s storage billing and cost observability by consolidating the view in a single platform instead of two.
