# Data warehouse

> Choose between the SegmentStream-hosted data warehouse or your own Google BigQuery instance.

By default, all projects are created using the SegmentStream data warehouse, which allows for a quick and easy project setup. Enterprise plan users that want to store their data in their own Google BigQuery data warehouse can contact their project manager to enable this feature.

Read about each data warehouse option below to better understand which solution suits your business:

    Use your own Google BigQuery instance for full control over data storage and access.

## SegmentStream data warehouse

The built-in SegmentStream data warehouse is the fastest way to get started. No additional configuration is required -- your project data is stored and processed automatically.

<Tip>
  If using your own BigQuery instance is not feasible, contact your SegmentStream manager to confirm the hosted warehouse is enabled for your project.

## Google BigQuery

Enterprise plan users can connect their own Google BigQuery instance for full control over data storage and access. To set this up:

1. Contact your SegmentStream project manager to enable BigQuery integration.
2. Provide the required BigQuery project ID and dataset details.
3. Grant the necessary permissions to the SegmentStream service account.

Your project manager will guide you through the specific steps for your organization.
