Yes, everything will come through there.

So you can get all the information on logging, current status, any faults within the system, and then through vCenter alarms, right, that's going to combine both from the ESX host side, from the vCenter server side, as well as from anything going on with the NetApp AFA that is powering that underneath there.

And AFA, for those of you who don't know, is All Flash Array.

Yeah, and when you're trying to sell a guy new technology, that's definitely a win to say, and it will work exactly like your other things, except you won't be getting calls in the middle of the night for performance problems, because we'll handle and automate that for you.

But you can manage it the exact same way you manage your other infrastructure.

And what we see the market wanting is to make the IT problems go away or make the IT department go away.

Don't make me put in a ticket to make this change.

Just

Make me capable of making this change.

Make it easy.

Make it easy to understand and be informed on how and why I need to do this.

And that's really resonated well with our early partners and customers.

Great question.

So a lot of customers will ask us, hey, do you rely on vVols?

Is that required?

And the answer is no.

You can do both.

You can use data stores.

and vvols or just vvols or just data stores so we're compatible with both technologies and that really is up to your style of infrastructure management what you want to do so if you use vvols today you're going to have storage policy based management on a per vm basis and one vm has you know three to four uh typically three or four virtual volumes on our side so that's that's a dream right that's almost too easy

It's like, you know, giving a MLB player a T and just saying swing, because that's exactly what we want.
