Immuta, a leader in data security, today announced the launch of its data security platform as a pre-built integration for the Government & Education Data Cloud, launched by Snowflake, the Data Cloud company. The launch of the Government & Education Data Cloud unites Snowflake’s data platform, Snowflake and partner-delivered solutions, and industry-specific datasets to empower educational institutions and public sector agencies at the federal, state, and local levels to spend more time on what matters most: caring for citizens and students.
The Snowflake Government & Education Data Cloud makes it possible for government and education institutions to address industry challenges by enabling intra- and cross-agency data sharing and collaboration, establishing 360° views of their stakeholders, monitoring for fraud, waste, and abuse, and leveraging an industry-leading network of public sector partners.
“We are looking forward to working with Immuta to improve citizen and student outcomes by giving customers fast, safe, and trusted access to critical education and public sector data,” said Jeff Frazier, Global Head of Public Sector at Snowflake. “Our continued partnership with Immuta will help organizations leverage the data they need to drive meaningful change in their communities.”
Within the Government & Education Data Cloud, customers can access industry-specific solutions built by Snowflake’s ecosystem of public sector and education partners to leverage best practices, reduce time-to-value, and increase overall impact.
The Immuta Data Security Platform enables joint customers to protect their data on Snowflake’s Government & Education Data Cloud by providing them with automated data discovery and classification, scalable data access controls, dynamic data masking, auditing and reporting, and risk detection indicators. With Immuta and Snowflake, government agencies and educational institutions can securely share data with third parties to effectively collaborate and fully derive value from data in their possession to improve citizen and student outcomes, all while meeting security and compliance standards.
“We’re excited to be a launch partner for Snowflake’s Government & Education Data Cloud and have the opportunity to provide customers access to industry-specific solutions that will help them leverage best practices, reduce time-to-value, and increase overall impact,” said Chris Brown, Public Sector CTO, Immuta. “The partnership between Immuta and Snowflake will enable both government and education organizations to derive value and insights from their data, all while protecting it to better serve citizens and students.”

ArangoDB, the company behind the most complete graph data and analytics platform, today announced the GA release of ArangoDB 3.11 to accelerate its performance across search, graph, and analytics use cases. ArangoDB 3.11 includes performance improvements for ArangoSearch, ArangoDB’s natively-integrated full-text search and ranking engine, as well as new functionality to its web interface to simplify the database’s operations.
“ArangoDB 3.11 is designed to take the capabilities of advanced search and analytics to new heights, while also introducing a wealth of new performance, usability, and operational improvements,” said Jörg Schad, PhD, CTO at ArangoDB. “With today’s release, ArangoDB runs even faster and is more intuitive to use, allowing our customers and community to continue to unlock insights that help them optimize decision-making and accelerate innovation.”
New functionality in ArangoDB 3.11 includes:
Faster query performance across search and graph: ArangoDB 3.11 brings new functionality to ArangoSearch that improves its performance. New column caching options allow for common values to be stored in memory, and a new Analyzer for GeoJSON data stores geo-spatial data more efficiently. In addition, reduced memory usage of in-memory edge indexes as well as index cache refilling accelerate graph traversal performance while consuming fewer resources.
Improved user experience for database administration and management: With new features available in its web interface, even more of ArangoDB’s capabilities can be managed outside of the command line in a user-friendly graphical interface. The graph viewer for visualizing named graphs has received substantial improvements as well as new functionality. It has been reimplemented based on the vis.js library, the interface has been streamlined and rewritten to use the React framework, and overall performance has been improved. New features include the ability to search the visible graph to center a specific vertex, as well as by Start node. New functionality for ArangoSearch has also been added to ArangoDB’s web interface, including a search-alias View to create and manage search views, the ability to create inverted indexes on collections, as well as a new sorting mechanism and search box for Saved Queries to make it simpler to find relevant queries and discover which ones have been created or used recently.
Data science and analytics operational enhancements: ArangoDB 3.11 offers persisted Pregel execution statistics to better assist data science and graph analytics use cases.
Further features in ArangoDB 3.11 include parallel gather, write-write conflict improvements, various performance enhancements across AQL (the ArangoDB Query Language), new server options, and more.
Packaging and availability
ArangoDB 3.11 is available immediately. All new features are included in both the open source ArangoDB Community Edition and the commercial ArangoDB Enterprise Edition, except for column caching and the geo_s2 Analyzer, which are Enterprise only.
ArangoDB 3.11 is available for download as a self-managed deployment here, as well as on ArangoGraph Insights Platform, ArangoDB’s managed service.
