We've already had a lot of good business with our service provider partners and customers, and this is just going to make it even easier for them to consume.

Keystone support in OpenStack.

So we're supporting, we've always supported, or we've supported for a few versions, Storage Grid being deployed in an OpenStack environment, virtualized by KVM.

We've also supported the Swift API, so that applications written to communicate via Swift can talk to Storage Grid.

Now we've, I think we've tentatively completed OpenStack at this point with Keystone support.

We'll see.

You know, there's always someone that's going to come back with something else.

But, you know, that was a big one.

Yeah, no, it certainly does.

You know, what I'm not seeing, you know, maybe I'm not allowed to say this or not, but I'm not seeing as massive objects in OpenStack deployments.

Right.

You know, and in the S3 space that, you know, S3 as a protocol, number one, is, you know,

by far huge adoption compared to Swift, what we see.

And we're seeing more and more verticals moving to change their applications that are dealing with massive unstructured data sets to speak object.

So that's something that when we started this podcast at 10.0, I said, hey, listen, a lot of this file stuff is eventually going to be object.

And the last time we talked was, hey, a few more of these things

are working with object.

Now I'm at the point that, you know, there's verticals like media and entertainment as an example that the momentum behind object adoption is we've got ISVs coming to us going, Hey, you know, we'd really love to have an on-premises enterprise object store.

We, you know, we trust NetApp.

You've been a big partner to us in media, in your other platforms.
