That's the same measurement that we use for the FlexPod with infrastructure automation.

It goes from power on to usability.

25 makes a ton of sense, man.

The networking world, they doubled and quadded up 10 gig, and we got 40 gig lines.

But then they needed 100 gig for the backhauls.

And then in developing the 100 gig, they discovered that it was cheaper to build 25 gig and bond four of them together.

So they've just skipped an entire generation, which is on its way out anyways.

And they're on the future bandwagon.

No, I think it's the only sensible approach in 2017, right?

The vast majority of the market is still VMware.

So obviously, if you want to be able to address the largest portion of the problem, you need to service those customers.

And then what comes after that, that'll be interesting, but we'll all wait and see.

Yeah, for sure, man.

I love the fact that we're not forcing customers down a particular path.

Would it be safe for me to assume that vBalls is a strong preference and we would be looking for customers to try that?

But none of those, I would imagine, with our ACI offering, none of those challenges are there, right?

They're not having to think about or manage the storage.

That's what the platform itself is taking care of.

And the vVols provider is just going to abstract away all.

So who cares?
