Hey, we like secure copy too.
Yeah.
So those are, you know, some of our main ones that are the ones that people know about.
And we've been doing migrations with Flex, you know, to Flex Groups with them for a while.
yeah yeah they have some really awesome netapp and other array integration right so they'll go in api column and and say hey show me all the exports show me all the volumes they'll do some of the automated provisioning for you that is a real enterprise tool to kind of shave off the time it takes to to go and build things so you know storage x is is that that tool that we like to use when
You know, people want a really robust GUI.
People want, you know, maybe multi-site migrations all from one central pane of glass.
That is a fantastic tool to do that.
Yeah, good question.
So XCP is free, right?
You can go and log into their site, xcp.netapp.com.
If you have a NetApp account and a target serial number, then you can go and grab the bits and it'll generate you a key
And go to town, you know use it a lot of even Linux administrators that may not be on the storage side they end up loving it right because it's.
orders of magnitude faster than doing something like a du or find or you know all these kind of normal Linux admin type of things that we need to do moving sub directories here to there.
It gets to be really handy for those situations.
So one of the big success stories we have with XCP is, you know, after doing a humongous migration with it, the customer said, hey, can we use this for eDiscovery?
Because nothing else scans, you know, our petabytes of NAS this fast.
Hey, why not?
And so they ended up using it for that use case too.
So kind of a niche, but just give an example of how it can be leveraged in different ways.
