By the power of collaboration software in 2017.

That's right.

I can turn on this camera and wave at you.

I had to be prepared for Michael.

Yeah, and maybe even take a tiny half step back from there and just very briefly explain Veeam, just in case that one guy and gal who haven't came across you yet, Michael.

All right, so that-

That's actually, you know, of course, this is why, you know, Veeam has been taken off like the rocket ship that it has.

And quite frankly, I don't really think we needed to introduce you, but just in case we wanted to include that.

But let's start to pick apart this, some of those specific integrations.

Can you talk about your sandbox capabilities that you expose and how customers can use that to shorten their application development cycles?

Yeah, I think that's killer, man.

It's so killer because, you know, we've talked about it on this podcast many times.

That is the core loop that really...

brings value traditionally in NetApp's Snap Manager Suite, where our field is mostly familiar, right?

It's, you know, the backups and the restores, that's business stakes.

That's just table stakes, rather.

That's why you're there in the first place.

But it's the ability to then take this thing that you're taking for basic business protection reasons and then leverage it to extract actual value from

that is where it starts to get exciting.

And where I think that you guys are potentially a little bit unique, I will admit I'm not a backup and restore guru these days, right?
