our Container Management Product, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, or NKP, which we launched just one year ago. You may have seen me in other Nutanix videos or on the byline of blogs, and I'm excited to share some updates about the traction we've been seeing in this fast-growing space. NKP is based on technology we acquired from Date2IQ, formerly Mesosphere, that's been integrated with our Nutanix cloud platform. This new offering has resonated with customers and the market has taken notice. For the first time, Nutanix was included in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management and was recognized as a challenger. We believe this recognition reflects our strong execution over the past year and our unique vision for Container Management, and we're thrilled about the recognition that we've been seeing in the market. Another exciting new development in this space is that Nutanix has been named a leader in the Forrester Wave multi-cloud container platforms for Q3 2025. This is our first year participating in this Forrester Wave and we're honored to be recognized as a leader among the top vendors in the market. We continue to build on our momentum from the first year of Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, including investments and exciting new innovations in the space. For example, we're really excited to bring Cloud Native AOS to market, which packages our core data services product for Kubernetes deployments. I encourage you to check out our blogs about these analyst reports by going to our website Nutanix.com.
