Dave Littman: In your research, you are seeing a lot of growth at the edge. And, you know, what do you see as the main drivers of that? I guess not only the growth of edge computing, but but the growth of the data itself as well. Todd Dorsey: Sure. Well, in many ways, the growth of data at the edge is the factor and reflects the growth of data everywhere. More devices, more applications producing more data, use of media files and larger file sizes. But of course, the edge has unique environments there. Video surveillance, for example, for security. And there's automation technologies and IoT and proliferation of sensors and the manufacturing and environmental situations. Mobile devices and smart devices and 5G networks, you know, as a result of mobile field forces and mobile field workforces. I think of a recent example when I was at the auto dealership. We had a AC leak in our vehicle, and it was wasn't clear where it was coming from, and it had extended warranty on it. But so we had to end up submitting a case with the warranty company for them to cover the AC outage. But, you know, as part of that experience, there's, of course, video in the lobby and there's a case being opened. And as part of our historical records and pictures being taken and submitted with that. And it's just a much richer environment than what it was a decade ago. And of course, there's no end in sight with the amount of data growing for those sorts of situations. Dave Littman: Okay, great. Todd Thank you. Bruce Kornfeld: David, can I can I jump in here? Yeah, Bruce. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So just to follow on to what Todd just said, I mean, what I would I would just add that think about going to an auto parts dealer just five years ago or ten years ago. None of that would have been there. So I'm you know, what we see is that because technology has advanced so much thanks a lot to AMD and Intel and faster processors and smaller devices and faster memory, the innovation that's happening out there is driving all of this data at the edge. Companies are innovating a new ways to solve business problems and it's just generating a massive amount of processing and data coming out from the edge. And and and that's what we're all about here talking about today.
