# IceBlock & Enhanced Analytical Data Sharing

Accelerate analytical data sharing with Vendia IceBlock—secure, real-time distribution and no-code AI business intelligence.

In June 2025, Vendia is happy to announce IceBlock, a groundbreaking patent-pending innovation that allows terabyte-sized datasets to be shared with distributed ledger-grade protections. IceBlock extends Vendia’s trusted data-sharing architecture, offering enhanced support for auditable, secure, and scalable analytical data collaboration. This technology directly strengthens our Analytical Data Sharing solution, making it ideal for multi-party, enterprise-scale data products.

Vendia Analytical Data Sharing streamlines the entire data collaboration lifecycle with the following phases:

1. **Data Ingestion:** Bring your data from supported sources into Vendia, along with filtering, and masking controls to ensure compliance.
2. **Data Transformations:** Combine multiple datasets from different sources and partners using Vendia compute to create meaningful, curated datasets. Filtered and redacted datasets can also be created from existing tables in Vendia.
3. **Data Sharing:** Apply granular access controls and governance policies and share large scale datasets with partners on the Vendia platform.
4. **Data Product Distributions:** Export to industry standard formats for querying via external tools or analytical systems.

## Supported Data Ingestion Sources

Vendia now supports a wider array of analytical data ingestion sources, making it easier to connect your data from wherever it resides:

- Snowflake
- Databricks
- Google BigQuery
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Amazon S3 (CSV)
- Direct CSV File Upload

This update ensures seamless onboarding of datasets into the Vendia platform for downstream sharing.

## Data Transformations

Vendia now includes built-in compute and transformation capabilities to tailor data before sharing:

- **Row-Level Filtering:** Customize data visibility by partner or tenant
- **Dynamic Data Masking:** Redact or obfuscate sensitive or regulated fields
- **Data Joins:** Merge datasets from multiple sources into a curated product

These features allow users to deliver partner-specific, compliant, and high-quality data products without writing SQL or code.

## Supported Output Formats for Data Products

Vendia enables data product generation and distribution in multiple industry-standard formats for downstream consumption into additional systems:

- Apache Iceberg
- Delta Lake (via Delta Share)
- CSV

With Vendia Data Products, data can be consumed into systems like Snowflake, Databricks or BigQuery in a matter of minutes. For questions, demos, or feedback, contact your Vendia representative or visit [docs.vendia.com](https://docs.vendia.com/platform/analytical/overview/).
