Yeah, and then they pulled them up.

They said, no, that was a nice experiment.

We're done.

Well, there's risks that need to be managed, and this is where private interconnectivity versus internet matters.

Again, it comes down to where those packets fly.

If you're in a regulated industry, you really don't want that stuff going over the internet.

And a lot of people, when SD-WAN first came out, said, hey, I can do a private network over the internet.

The problem is that once a packet leaves your firewall or router, depending on what your egress point is,

You lose all determination of performance.

You lose determination of path, of uptime.

None of that stuff between your two sites is under your control.

So some branch stuff might work that way.

It depends on what your own internal SLAs might be.

If you're a regulated industry, that's not going to cut it.

Private internet connectivity really matters.

And that's why a lot of companies stuck with MPLS, where there was a network provider watching every link.

And using Equinix Fabric, you get that same watch, only with a simpler, less latent, more deterministic network from a performance perspective.

A lot fewer hops and amazing functionality in there.

So we give the customer the ability from an agentic perspective and we're building, I should say we've already kind of built it, but it's kind of in its version one of an AI inference network that has agentic built into it and allows for intelligent use.

I should try to figure out the best way to say this and I can say it.
