And then OneCollect is on the tool chest.
For the third-party plugins, those are still being, you know, trying to get added in there.
So for now, just ask your account team and they'll send it over.
Yeah, that's a great question.
So there's kind of two parts of it, right?
So with...
With any migration, you know, say this is like a NAS migration where maybe we're talking about, we want to know how many shares there are, how many CIFS shares, how much of it is multi-protocol, you know, both CIFS and NFS at the same time on the same share.
You know, that's obviously the first step of knowing what is my source and what is going to be the target.
Then after that, sometimes we'll go and understand how many files it is or,
If it's a really deep structure and it took a long time to migrate it to where it is sitting right now, how might we break things up or how might we clean up?
Sometimes customers don't want to move 20-year-old NAS data to a really expensive place.
You know all flash disk right, so they might go in and try to split things out so when we do that we use a tool called net app xcp so we've built xcp in house there's some really cool proprietary proprietary technology and there that will.
massively parallelize the job scans, right, walking the file system of the NAS environment and go and show you who's the top owners, you know, how old is the data, when was it last accessed, you know, how much of the data hasn't been touched in, you know, two years or whatever.
So then they can go and decide, you know what, let's not migrate that, you know, that two-year-old or that 10-year-old data over.
Or let's, you know, move off some of this stuff to some other, you know, slower disk.
Yeah, that's right.
So XCP scans...
are really valuable for knowing.
Sometimes when, say, we look at an Isilon environment, maybe they're not paying for quotas, I know.
Sometimes they used to have to buy quotas.
