Q Is this something we're seeing beyond one company? Like what's sort of the broad industry level view of all this?
A There's certainly a big need for unifying storage today. Most organizations have a hodgepodge, a, a, an organically grown set of state of storage systems and applications stretching all the way back to their mainframes. There's an awful lot of mainframes still out there, believe it or not. And when we look at what a company's real assets are today, oftentimes, as I think, again, Peter's pointing out, it's in the data that they have, but the data collectively and in aggregate, in order to be able to analyze it and make predictions out of it, you want a cohesive whole. So solutions that can bring all that data together in an integrated analysis and, and support actually, uh, pipelines of Of, of, of prediction and feedback loops of analytics and visualization and, and really tighten the knot, if you will, are going to be extremely valuable. And those that can leverage the existing infrastructure and the existing data stores without upsetting the apple cart are the ones that are going to be adopted.
