What we always generally say is do that pilot migration and then, you know, get that comfortable feeling.

Don't rush into it, right?

This, you know, this is all pretty straightforward processes.

But we are dealing with real business, right?

So that kind of recalls back when I was a customer, we had just bought a new system and our main site was slow, right?

And so we're trying to migrate the production DB first.

So we had to put the brakes on, do our testing, get it stood up, get it monitored, right?

Production readiness, right?

Because we're professionals and

And storage is a key infrastructure for almost all things IT nowadays.

So after that, we gave the green light and we brought it over and everyone was high-fiving.

So those are the good days after migration.

Yeah, I mean, we, you know, we see it on and off the copy free transitions and interesting capability that that we brought out for seven mode customers, right.

So that's the idea that I always kind of think of it like that movie doing right, I'm, I'm moving without moving, right, I'm moving the shelves, I'm doing a migration without copying bits over the wire.

So we just pull the during the maintenance window, we'll unplug the shelves from

the 7-mode environment and plug it into the CDOT system, our automation tools 7 and PT will go and do all the API work to, you know, mount the volumes, provision the exports, all those stuff.

So those are really useful for, you know, a few big use cases, right?

The first one is the source environment is just overwhelmed a bit and, you know, adding SnapMirror onto that load is not a good idea, or the amount of data is huge.

And it would take a long time to move it.

Say I have like 40 shelves.
