I think now it's just, you know, the cloud as an infrastructure is becoming more prevalent, so I think you'll just see it explode. Akamai, you know, one of the largest clouds in the world. The data's out there. I think it just makes sense with the, You know, I've seen a palpable change in the last 12 months with, I think, the IPO of Workday and ServiceNow and others that, you know, it's inevitable a large amount of this processing will go to the cloud, you know, just to, to, so people who, that's all they focus on, we'll provide their focus area.
