Yes.

Yeah, well, Extreme.io was acquired into EMC.

And so that $3 billion, we had a lot of help from, at the time, the best sales force in the world.

We started to build the product.

When we were acquired, it was two years into it.

We didn't actually have a full product yet.

It took us another year within EMC to go generally available.

And then, yes, that first year was more than enough.

It was new.

Hard drives were the predominant.

And Flash was new.

It was a very small system.

It was just for VMs and databases.

It was a very niche type of product.

But it was the early days of all Flash systems.

So Flash existed for many years, but not in the data center.

It was a consumer technology, which is weird.

Usually you come from the top down.

Flash went bottoms up.
