It's not 100% complete, but it's mostly complete, and the difference is huge.
You'll also see that the interface has been streamlined a bit and cleaned up, and it looks a lot more like
the rest of the NetApp product world in terms of where we've put menus and how you move through the UI and all.
So there's some overall improvements in just the functionality and the feel.
And customers that I've shown it to are finding it much easier to move around and find things.
Yeah, you can really feel the performance difference in it.
So you want to take that one because I know that's one of your pet projects.
And that's huge because let's face it, our customers don't typically want to have to be dropping unified manager servers everywhere.
So along with those performance improvements and the impact that they have in the environment as a whole,
we've seen that we're able to scale the system better.
And there have been some significant improvements there.
We've benchmarked it against larger populations of systems.
And honestly, I think that and the new scale monitor that's built into the system will drive forward a lot of happiness in our customers because then they're not asking me, I have to stand up how many systems in order to monitor this environment?
We won't be getting that kind of pushback, I don't think, any longer.
Well, we're publishing a set of overall guidelines, but what we found in the testing of it is that we're able to handle
significantly larger installations.
One of the things that we've done to enable that is that we have built into the product, and honestly they weren't there before, are a set of scale monitors that will alert the user when they start to tax the server.
So if they start to tax the CPUs or tax the memory footprint or tax the disk space,
It'll tell you that, and then you have the opportunity to grow more.
So the scaling is going to be much more dynamic.
