Snowflake editions¶

Snowflake 提供多个可选版本，确保组织按照其特定要求进行使用。每个后续版本都是在先前版本的基础上构建而来，但添加了特定于版本的功能和/或更高级别的服务。随着组织的需求发生变化和增长，更改版本很容易。

For information about working with editions, including viewing and changing an account’s edition, see Working with account editions.

Note

The Snowflake Edition that your organization chooses determines the unit costs for the credits and the data storage you use. Other factors that impact unit costs are the region where your Snowflake account is located and whether it is an On Demand or Capacity account:

按需：基于使用情况的定价，没有长期许可要求。
容量：基于前期容量承诺的折扣定价。

For pricing details, see the pricing page (on the Snowflake website).

Overview of editions¶

Standard Edition¶

Standard Edition 是我们的入门级产品，提供对 Snowflake 所有标准功能的完整、无限制的访问。它在功能、支持级别和成本之间提供了出色的平衡。

Enterprise Edition¶

Enterprise Edition provides all the features and services of Standard Edition, with additional features that are designed specifically for the needs of large-scale enterprises and organizations.

Business Critical Edition¶

Business Critical Edition, formerly known as Enterprise for Sensitive Data (ESD), offers even higher levels of data protection to support the needs of organizations with extremely sensitive data, particularly PHI data that must comply with HIPAA and HITRUST CSF regulations.

It includes all the features and services of Enterprise Edition, with the addition of enhanced security and data protection. In addition, account failover/failback adds support for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Note

As required by HIPAA and HITRUST CSF regulations, before any PHI data can be stored in Snowflake, a signed business associate agreement (BAA) must be in place between your agency/organization and Snowflake Inc.

Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS)¶

Virtual Private Snowflake 为具有苛刻要求的组织提供极高级别的安全性，这些组织包括金融机构，以及收集、分析和共享高度敏感数据的其他大型企业等。

It includes all the features and services of Business Critical Edition, but in a completely separate Snowflake environment, isolated from all other Snowflake accounts (i.e. VPS accounts do not share any type of hardware resources with accounts outside the VPS).

Note

To access your account, you can use an account identifier that specifies your organization name and account name.

If you instead choose to use an account locator as the account identifier, note that the account locator for VPS accounts uses a different format than the accounts for other Snowflake Editions. For details, see Finding the account locator format for a VPS account.

Find your current edition¶

You can find the Snowflake edition for your account in the following ways:

To find your Snowflake edition by using Snowsight, follow the instructions in Locate your Snowflake account information in Snowsight.
To find your Snowflake edition by using SQL, query the ACCOUNTS view in the ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema, and select the edition column:
```
SELECT edition
  FROM SNOWFLAKE.ORGANIZATION_USAGE.ACCOUNTS
  WHERE account_name = CURRENT_ACCOUNT();
```
To query this view, you must have access to the ORGANIZATION_USAGE schema.
