Yeah, so if I can get the object from or achieve my goals using lower cost links, I'm going to do that.
And you just kind of arbitrarily put in these cost values to force the product to make preferential treatments in the network.
We're doing well.
I don't know what I'm allowed to say since this is external, but I'll say we're growing very quickly as a product, as we would expect to because this is a growth area.
I think what's interesting to me is the size of initial deployments has changed pretty dramatically over the last couple of years.
Everybody was from Missouri in the old days, right?
For those that are listening internationally, the motto of that state is the show me state, right?
You got to prove everything.
I think people are comfortable with object storage from NetApp now and are making decisions and deploying huge footprint right away.
So that's one thing that's been interesting.
I'm also seeing customers in new verticals with really interesting use cases.
So I've got major automotive manufacturers that are gathering all of the sensor data off of the cars during their tests, including all the video, and putting that into massive object stores to use during the quality programs for the cars.
It's kind of cool stuff.
The media workflows, obviously.
I spend a lot of time speaking to media customers, and that's a lot of fun.
My kids love when I send a selfie in front of a studio sign, and it's where their favorite show happens to be taped.
Exactly, yeah.
They're not so excited about auto manufacturers, but studios, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, absolutely.
