And that's why we had 95% of the internet traffic passing through us at one point or another, because even when it comes in from the internet from somewhere else, it might go privately to one of these other companies that you're working with.

So.

Working with us is just going to give you a greater chance of success of whatever future projects you're going to do.

In AI, I just think it's going to make a lot more sense.

We have a lot of the things at Equinix that help you compose these solutions together.

I'll give you another example since it's storage related.

And one of my roles at Equinix is I oversee a part of our business development throughout the entire storage ecosystem.

We already have some customers signed up on this, but

Essentially, it's a tape-as-a-service served out through an S3 interface.

It's not Glacier competitive.

It's different, single-tenant tape where you get your own tapes, but we're not mixing data in with other customers.

But it's 2025, and I'm actually really excited about Tate.

Kind of weird, right?

So, yeah, well, you know, circumstances, supply chains and stuff have made it so that all of a sudden these shingle drives are going to be a little tough to get for the next couple of years, the hard drives.

So all of a sudden you've got to start getting data onto those drives for your AI endeavor.

You've got to get that old stale data out.

We also believe that AI is going to drive a lot of tape requirements, check raw data sets, lineage, things like that.

And so you're going to have to store these things for many reasons, not just e-discovery, but a whole lot of other reasons.

We think there's going to be a big comeback on that.

Well, NetApp works in that world and the whole ecosystem.
