We don't use that.
What type of disk?
We've separated the media and the performance.
You just have a pool of performance and a pool of capacity.
So it's really how you would want it to be if you're an administrator.
You simply decide, I need CPU, RAM, and storage of X with performance of Y and go.
So hopefully that answered your question.
So as we're starting to close, like one thing that we haven't touched on is scaling.
So as you scale, a lot of the customers that we've talked to, especially I just talked to a huge financial services firm that they have to buy still and they buy, you know, these are three, $4 million a piece.
So they're spending a lot of money, but they're buying compute when all they need is storage.
So they don't, they thinly provision, no compute, right?
That everyone gets,
gets full access, dedicated compute, but they're always running out of hardware for storage.
And obviously you'd think if we were approaching this market, we'd definitely design this for independently scalable resources.
So at a node at a time, you can buy one node of any type of storage, one node of any type of compute.
And that speaks to the financial side of this, that you don't have to waste the money.
And there is no tax or overhead because what you've seen the competitors do is they're like, oh yeah, well,
If you're running a VMware environment, you need to deploy one of our, it's their own proprietary, it's a virtualized storage, and it works.
They're trying to adjust, but that's never going to be as strong as our architecture is for getting you the best bang for your buck and not having to use compute resources to run storage and having that overhead.
Yeah, you can.
