I need a month because I'm really dumb.

So is that 30 minutes of unboxing, racking, and then all the way up down to provisioning the storage?

Or is that like the cabling is involved with that?

I mean, what's involved with the overall 30-minute guideline there?

Yeah.

So I was thinking more along the lines of when I think of something like, I don't know, a cluster in ONTAP, I think of all the shelf cables and, you know, all the stuff that's involved behind the scenes there.

How does the hardware look from an HCI perspective?

Is it looking similar to what we do with the ONTAP cluster or is it the Solifire cluster?

I mean, what's it looking like?

I am the lord of the token rings.

I was mainly commenting on the 32 gig versus 40 gig because 25 gig is not something you hear about a lot.

So it also sounds like it may have been an economics decision, right?

Like keeping the price point of this particular product at a place where we don't have to seem like the most expensive option by adding something like 40 gig, which is what I'm hearing is largely unnecessary.

The decision to use VMware, because like you said, they're the largest, I think is good.

I mean, you have to let the market drive that decision, especially for initial product rollout, because if you don't, you're just basically playing guesswork.

And I don't think that's a good strategy to use for a product you're trying to make successful.

You want to base it on real data, real usage, and real feedback from your customers as opposed to just trying to tell them what they're going to want.

Yes, that'll be a pretty seamless transition for vCenter administrators already because they're familiar with the interface, so they'll be able to use it pretty seamlessly when they're trying to integrate our stuff.

I look at it a lot like the NFS v3 versus v4.

So v4 has been out for a while, but there isn't a huge amount of adoption.
