And, in fact, right before this call, I got an email from one of our customers who was really happy to see that recommendation on the dashboard.

And we are going to enhance it.

There are a lot of exciting things coming.

One of the things that we are also looking at is what we did in this release, if you look at it, is we are telling our users what to upgrade to.

What we are looking at doing is also tying in the value to this process, meaning why should I upgrade to this next version of ONTAP?

What are the new features that I'm going to get?

What are the new efficiency or performance levels that I'm going to get?

Now, all of this information is currently available, but we want to kind of unify this.

And this goes back to my previous point of streamlining the workflows.

There's no point having all these disparate pieces of information.

So we need to kind of bring all of these together to provide a much better user experience to our user community.

Yeah, absolutely.

So definitely there are quite a few things that we are looking at.

And the on-command suite of products as well as data coming back from our other parts of the product portfolio are definitely in consideration.

In addition to that, what we are also looking at is

How can we take that information and then bounce it off some of the other tools that people use during the upgrade process?

And rather than have a manual process, check some of those things automatically.

And I'll just cite one quick example.

A lot of times what happens during the upgrade process is you have quite a few connected devices to your storage system.

and those have some software components as well.
