I've got 74 metros that those 276 data centers are sitting in.

So I've got an edge that instead of going to the far edge and going to an office, I can go deploy it at a metro edge at any of those places.

Again, connecting over fabric.

I can take this data that's in this core that's on an AFX cluster, let's say.

now curated through aide and netapp can go and reliably confidently push that data to any of the clouds the neo clouds or any of these edges over equinix fabric and by the way all of that can be configured through terraform ansible it's all api driven but you're in new york you want to go to seoul and start moving data over there we can have that done for you in five minutes

It's really that simple.

And it will always be the least latent connection you could possibly have because it's on our own private network.

And they're going to be long haul fiber connections that aren't going through a million hops.

It's not like you're going through a big MPLS network or over the internet, right?

Most importantly, you want to talk about sovereignty.

Today, we offer this in the US, Canada, and Japan, but we're coming up on other regions.

There's a lot of reasons you don't want network packets going over national border.

I actually just earlier today finished our interconnected podcast on post-quantum encryption.

People are collecting data that they know they can't read today, but they know once they get the algorithms right,

going to be able to read them eventually so right now certain organizations are collecting on this data they're data hoarders basically and so one day they'll be able to go and decrypt that and learn certain things most about authentication stuff but canada doesn't want financial data dipping into patriotic territory and the united states similarly doesn't want data going up into canada for certain types we have the capability of saying on our fabric hey

If you're in Vancouver, you're going to Toronto.

We can only go through our Canadian fibers.

We can do that.

We're like the only ones who can do that.

So it's these kind of sovereign things that when you start working with data and you need to ensure certain things, you may not need that today, by the way, but know that one day you might be asked to do that.
