Anupam Sahai & Anu Ramraj, Unisys | AWS re:Invent 2021


 

>>Welcome everyone to our continuous coverage on the cube of AWS reinvent 2021. I'm your host, Dave Nicholson. And I am absolutely delighted to be joined by two folks from Unisys. I have a company that has been in the business of helping people with everything related to it for a very, very long time. We heard a talk about data monetization at modernization with ANU Priya, rom Raj vice president of cloud solution management at Unisys, along with ANU palms, the high VP and CTO of cloud solution engineering at UNISIS. And, uh, just so that we keep everything clear, I'm just going to call you on new and ANU Palm, and we'll all know who we're talking to. Sure. The funny thing is I'm David Nicholson or Dave Nicholson. Dave Vellante is one of the founders of Silicon angle, the cube. So usually it's two Dave's battling in >>So I get to be David and he's Dave typically. So we're completely, we're completely used to this, right? So, so tell me about what Eunice is doing UNISIS is doing in the arena of app modernization and data modernization and migration into cloud. You Unisys has a long and storied history of managing it in people's environments, you know, in the sort of on-premise world, as well as, as well as cloud now. But, uh, I knew tell us, tell us a little about what you'd assist is doing in this space. And then we'll, we'll double click and dive in. >>Um, so you, you're probably very, very familiar with the six RS of modernization, right? All the way from migration modernization, all the way from replatform rehost to, to the other side of the spectrum, refactor and rearchitect, right? So what is DASA is that it takes clients on that journey, right? So we see clients in different stages of that journey. There are clients that come to us, uh, recently brought on board a pipeline they're very early in their journey. They just talking about their first set of migrations. There are clients that have taken the leap and done 75% of their workload is on cloud, even for Unisys 95% of more than 95% of our workload actually runs on cloud public cloud. So different stages of the journey, but no matter where they are in the journey, really moving the needle on modernization. Right. And what did he mean by modernization? It's it's taking advantage of the innovation in cloud, whether it's seven containers are AI and bringing that to the client so that they can drive those business outcomes. That's what we are passionate about doing. And we can talk to you about a couple of clients where we've done this on a, but I like to unopened to add on. >>Sure. Yeah. And, and just, and before you dive in on a Palm, I want to hear specifically about the inhibitors that you're seeing, the things that causing friction, right. Movement to cloud. >>Yeah. So cloud of the transformative technology is as disruptive and it brings about lots of benefits that are very well understood, but not realized, um, lower total cost of ownership, higher security, innovation, and agility. But the challenges that you see for customers really benefit from moving and migrating to the cloud are related to security and compliance. That comes up to be the top pain point, followed by cost of ownership that are optimizations that you need to do before you can benefit from really leveraging the benefits from the cloud and then innovation and agility, how to drive that. And there are certain things around app and data about innovation, data analytics, AIML that really helps realize those values, but it needs a concerted effort and a drive and a push to transform your infrastructure from where you are today to really get to derive the true benefits from the cloud. >>And we do a cloud barometer study of about thousands of organizations from a Unisys perspective, Dave, and as a Oklahoma saying, um, more than 60% of our clients say security is the biggest inhibitor they want help with security. You >>No, you're saying the inhibitor to going to cloud is security >>To accelerating the cloud journey. They always are perceptive. >>Is that, is that hesitancy, uh, just perception or is it reality? >>That's a great question, >>Dave, and you don't have to be gentle with me. Like you might with a client, you know, you can, you can reach over and smack me and say get over it. You're going to be fine, Dave, >>Actually, I'm a new from leaned into it already. In many cases, when you, when you actually get to your cloud configuration, right. You probably be more secure in the cloud, but it's getting clients confident with that setup. That's where the rubber meets the road. Right. And that's where we come in to say, um, do you understand the shared responsibility model with cloud? What is the cloud provider do? What does being here at AWS reinvent? What has AWS bring to the table for security? This is what the client is responsible for. For example, application security is completely their client's responsibility, right? In most cases. So, um, just working with the clients so that they understand the shared responsibility model and then making sure we protect all the different layers of the stack, but security, right? Even, even as apps are developed, you need to have DevSecOps pipeline, right? So I didn't say dev ops, I said, dev sec ops, because we want to make security a part of developing your applications and deploying them in cloud as well. So that's what we bring to the table and making sure clients feel confident in, in accelerating their cloud journey. So >>You can deal with customers like me, who, who truly believed that my money is safer in a coffee, can buried in my backyard than it is in a bank, right. With all those banking people wandering around. Um, so when you start looking at an environment and you, and you look at the totality of an it infrastructure landscape, how do you go about determining what is the low hanging fruit? What makes sense to move first from is that, is that always an ROI discussion that comes into play and are your customers, I like to give like five questions at the same time to confuse you and are your customers expecting to immediately save money? And how big is the ROI conversation in this? >>Uh, great question. So a couple of things need to be considered first, just to understand where does the customer in the digital transformation journey are there green fee where they only have on premise data center and they're trying to get to the cloud, or they already have dipped their toes and move to the cloud. And in the cloud, how far in advance are they in their transformation journey, have them not have the done apps and data modernization? Do they have, uh, uh, management operations capability for day one and day two cloud ops and fin ops and security ops, and other leveraging the power of the cloud, the copious amounts of data that cloud brings to the table. Uh, the, the important thing to understand is that 80% of the tools that work in the on-prem do not work in the cloud. So you have to understand the very nature of the cloud and to deal with it differently. >>The same old tools and creeks will not work in the cloud. And I call it the three V's in the cloud, velocity volume, and variety of data is different in the cloud. So when you're talking about security, you need to look at the cloud infrastructure, posture management. You need to look at the cloud workload, pasture management. You need to look at the data that's available and analyze and harness the data using AIML and data analytics. So you need a new set of clicks as it were to really harness the power of the cloud to derive the benefits from increased security, lower cost of ownership and innovation and agility. >>And it makes sense. Yeah. >>I mean, I think you touched on touched on it, but fin ops, right. And you asked the question David on, is that the biggest driver in terms of savings to get to the, to the cloud. And I think it's definitely one of the bigger factors, um, because, and be believe to, to realize that we offer a fin op service. And if you know, Upserve is not just for the cloud, but choosing models at different, right. It's not like your data center planning. We talked about the tools being different. It's more than the tools, right? So you could do reserved instances or you could do spot instances, completely different ballgame with AWS, right. Or you could do AWS savings plans. Are you maximizing all of that? And even beyond that, are you thinking beyond that into like AWS container suppose, um, EKS, are you talking about seven less and that could completely change your bill and your total kind of cost of ownership. You talk Dave about past databases, right? So platform as a service, and that could completely change your total cost of ownership there as well. So are you really maximizing that? And do you have a service around that? Do you have a trusted partner who can help you with fin ops is I think an important consideration there? >>Well, I don't know. Pretty, I know you're dying to talk about a customer example, make it real for us. Give us an example of, uh, of this process inaction where UNISIS has helped a customer on the journey. >>Absolutely. Dave. So, um, uh, one example that comes to mind is a large public university and they've got about a half a million students and they've got 20 plus campuses around the U S in California, Sarah, I might've given myself away there. And, and, uh, in, into what they've done is, um, initially they are big into AWS and they are into their cloud, uh, higher into the IBM cloud journey, uh, big time. And they are a hybrid deployment at this point. And initially, uh, they, uh, when they subscribed to our fin ops service, uh, we, we brought in all the different, uh, thinking around working with different organizations, they need to like business planning, right? You need to know which is your most significant apps and what do you want to invest in them in terms of modernization and in tuning your AWS spend. And so we did that. And so we got them about a 33% cost saving and what they did was then they took, looked at all of their AWS accounts across the campuses and said, we want fin ops across all of them. Let's consolidate all of them. So that's, that's the power of a synopsis is about 33% saving right there. Well, that is >>Particularly exciting for me because I assume that they're going to be lowering my kid's tuition next year. So I'll be, I'll be looking forward to that. And now I know Palm, we know why she was kicked out of the, uh, you know, the, the intelligence agency can't keep a secret. Let's, let's, let's talk about an amusement park, uh, famous for its rodent, but I'm not going to say the name. So, so out upon talk about, uh, the technology space that we're in the midst of here at AWS reinvent, right? Um, each time we have a keynote, we're hit with an, almost a mind boggling number of announcements, right? Customers can't keep, keep this stuff straight. They're 575 different kinds of instances. It used to be, we have S3 and we have VC too. Right. Would you like, would you like one, or would you like both, right? How do you help customers make sense of this? >>Yeah, no, that's, that's a great question because, um, the cloud is, uh, I, as I said, cloud has three V's velocity, variety and volume of data and, and the new kinds of services that are available. Day-by-day, it's growing the keys to really figure out, again, map the business objectives that you as a customer or a company are trying to achieve, understand where you are in your digital transformation journey. And then based on the two, uh, and assess where you at and, and companies like Unisys can work with the customer to assess their, what I call the digital transformation posture, which will then give, uh, give us clear indications or recommendations on what are the next stages in the transformation of journey. So whether it's whether you want to improve your security posture, whether you want to improve your cost of ownership, posture, whether you want to go to go to the cloud and leverage DevSecOps to benefit from the innovation and agility, we can help you. >>Unisys has DevSecOps as a service, uh, containers as a service where we can help our customers and partners migrate to the cloud, modernize the apps. And again, based on research, that's out there, you can speed up app deployment and development by 60% by leveraging the power of the cloud. So the benefits out there for customers to get access to, it's a question of finding the right combination of people, process and technology to get you there. And Unisys being a very trusted advisor is certainly able to help you accelerate that journey and get you to meet your business outcomes. So me, >>Um, let me ask the two of you, what might be an uncomfortable question, and that is obviously Unisys is in the business of managing things that aren't in cloud. Also, you have very, very large existing customers that are spending money with you, right? And if they'll just stay still and not do anything and not change, you'll keep making money into the future. Aren't some of these things that you're doing as a trusted advisor, almost counterintuitive from a, from a finance perspective at Unisys, at least in the short term, how do you, how do you balance that? >>It's a, it's a great question, Dave, and for us, we are customer obsessed. So that's, I know one of the AWS principles and we, we live by that as well. Right? So customer comes first and doing the right thing by them, whether it is the total cost of ownership when it's getting the security posture, right. That comes first for us. And if, if moving them to a public cloud will help them achieve that. We will do that. Right. So even if it means that our bill is going to be lower, right. So we'll give you a great example there. Um, Eunice's, as you know, Dave has been in the mainstream business and we've got customers that are still on clear path, right? So even with those customers, we help them with both transitions. We can run clear path to the, on public cloud and we also help with modernization, right? So we always do the right thing by the customer. It's really the customer's tries in terms of what does the business warrant, how much business disruption are they willing to take as we do this modernization journey. And that's what determines us. And that's what makes us trusted advisers. Um, you're not looking out for the bottom line there in terms of how much our bill would be. Yup. >>Well, that's a, that's actually a great place to wrap up. Uh, I think it's hilarious that you mentioned mainframe since you were five years old, you gave me, you gave me a blank stare. When I mentioned stuff, Unisys was doing 20 years ago on a free auto Palm from Unisys. Thank you so much. It's a great point to close on. You're a trusted advisor when you're doing things that are truly in the customer's best interest and not just in your own company's best interests. I'm Dave Nicholson for the cube. We'd like to thank you for joining our continuous coverage at AWS reinvent 2021 stay tuned because we are your leader in hybrid tech event coverage.

SUMMARY :

And, uh, just so that we keep everything clear, I'm just going to call you on new and So I get to be David and he's Dave typically. And we can talk to you about a couple of clients where we've done this on a, the inhibitors that you're seeing, the things that causing friction, right. But the challenges that you see for more than 60% of our clients say security is the biggest inhibitor To accelerating the cloud journey. Dave, and you don't have to be gentle with me. when you actually get to your cloud configuration, right. I like to give like five questions at the same time to confuse you and are your customers expecting So a couple of things need to be considered first, just to understand where the power of the cloud to derive the benefits from increased security, And it makes sense. And you asked the question David on, is that the biggest driver in terms of savings to has helped a customer on the journey. So that's, that's the power of a synopsis is about 33% So I'll be, I'll be looking forward to that. the customer to assess their, what I call the digital transformation posture, So the benefits out there for customers to Unisys is in the business of managing things that aren't in cloud.

Anupam Sahai & Anupriya Ramraj, Unisys | AWS re:Invent 2020


 

>>from around the globe. It's the Cube with digital coverage of AWS reinvent 2020 sponsored by Intel AWS and our community partners. Welcome to the cubes Coverage of AWS reinvent 2020. The digital version I'm Lisa Martin and I'm joined by a couple of guests from Unisys. Please welcome unprompted high BP and Cloud CTO on income. Great to have you on the program. Thanks for joining me today. >>Great to be here leader >>and a new pre or a new Ram Raj, VP of Cloud Services. A new welcome. Great to have you on a swell. Great >>to be here in this virtual AWS being that great. >>Thank you. Very socially Distance We're following all the guidelines here. A new Let's start with you. I'd love to get just kind of Ah, you know, a vision of the AWS Unisys partnership. I know you guys are advanced consulting partner MSP. Tell me about that partnership. >>Absolutely. Lisa, we see our clients on a cloud journey which we accelerate with Unisys Cloud Services and AWS partnership is a big piece of that again. Way thorough. We have bean rated in aws MSP partner Come out very, very highly from those msb audited our, uh and we're investing in multiple competencies across the boat as well. So and we work very closely with AWS in terms off innovating in sharing our platform cloud 44 world map In looking at what our customers looking around the corner, what services could be co developed. So we're looking at some potential I o T engagements to jointly with AWS is, well, eso you're always co inventing and it's a great partnership with a W s >>excellent. And you let's stick with you Following on hybrid Cloud Journey you mentioned the Cloud Forte platform. I wanted to understand what that platform is, how your co developing that with AWS and how your customers are benefiting >>absolutely s. Um, every year Unisys does a cloud barometer study across thousands of our clients and and we got some interesting takeaways from that. Essentially two thirds of her clients that have started this cloud journey believe they don't really realize the benefits out of that and up thio 53% off. The the respondents said they needed some help with cloud security. And this is where I believe that Unisys Cloud Services has a strong viewpoint and can find their AWS, um, journey, no matter where, what challenges they're facing, whether it's budgetary challenges on optimizing AWS and whether it's getting I t operations right when you move your applications to AWS. Um, and is it is it getting the that I have seen cops models established? So no matter where clients are in the A journey, we look to accelerate with our set of solutions and services, and we're very proud about the fact that we respond very me to make sure our clients can innovate and achieve the business outcomes that they need. For example, with California Stink City, we were able to work with them on the AWS. John Pretty set up a native other lake and analytics on top of it so we could actually predict and influence graduation rates with students. Our scores are higher than any off are coming because of the outcomes that we deliver for our clients. And it's really about business outcomes and 40 platform, which helps us drive those outcomes. I mean, probably do you want to add on without cloud 40 platform? >>Sure, I know eso, as as I knew was saying cloud for the platform provides AH set off capabilities that allows us to create an offer highly differentiated services with Unisys Pipe and, as was mentioned earlier, our cloud solutions are are able to help customers no matter where they are in their car, in their cloud journeys, whether it's ah Greenfield opportunity, where they where the customers are intending to move to the cloud, or if it's a brownfield opportunity where they already have adopted the cloud and are looking to manage and operate and optimize their deployments. Cloud Forte Platform and our Cloud Solutions are able to provide, uh, customized solution for that customer context to really deliver the solution that addresses some of the pain points that you talked about. The keeping points really relate to security to get secured. It also relates to cost optimization and then optimizing the cloud purse, a cloud deployment hybrid cloud deployment of the key requirement. So our cloud 40 platform health drives the key use cases. The key pain points that our customers are looking for through a combination off accelerators, the number of cloud photo accelerators that enable customers to rapidly prove it provisioned customers and to rapidly migrate to the cloud with God rails so that they're the secure, their compliant. And then we've got the the Cloud Cloud 40 Cloud management platform for ensuring provisioning onda management and operations, along with cost optimization capabilities and the eyelid operations. So it's a comprehensive suite off services and solutions that addresses the key business outcomes. There are customers are are looking for >>outcomes. Focused is absolutely critical, especially these days. I knew I wanted to go back to you for a second. You talked about the Unisys Barometer study, and I like the name of that. When was that done? And I'm just wondering if there are certain things that you saw this year from a customer. Cloud journey. Need perspective because of the pandemic that have really influenced that barometer >>Wait Question. Hey said and development is study. The last version of it was done late last year, and we're still waiting on the ones from this year. So, but we're starting to see some of the trends that were influenced by the pandemic. We saw rush to cloud when the pandemic hit because business adopt to to remote workers to do more digital selling and then seeing our CEO is kind of struggle with optimizing and maximizing the results off their cloud. Spend right, So So that's a unique challenge that that we're seeing based on our tryingto interaction. So the rush to the cloud and the ask for more spend optimization and in terms of spend optimization, that's an interesting facet because, uh, it cuts through my multiple angles. It's it's cuts through having the platforms around, being able to dio right predictions on where you spend is going, and then it also it's across collaborative effort. Finn ops. As we see it, we call it as a synopsis of is that we bring to our clients it's passing with multiple organizations, including finance, to sometimes figure out. Where will this business be? Where should you spend be? What should be the reserved instance buys right. So combining cloud knowledge with financial knowledge and organizational and business knowledge. And that's the service that we bring to our clients with our phenoms services. At least a great question about how how is I kind of making the current business climate affecting our operating models? Um, like we said, there's increased ask for Finn ops is an increase. Ask for security ops because security threats have only amplified. And then the entire cloud ups model. I think hybrid cloud operations its's prompted us to rethink a lot off. How do we do? I t operations and and we're investing a lot in terms of automation and then underpinning that by ai led operation. So, um, you talked about the client management platform making sure we've got the best automation and processes which are repeatable around all the way from just doing provisioning to data operations to optimization. Just making all of that robust and repeatable um, is such a value. Add to clients because then they can see SOS can sleep at night knowing that everything is taken care off and, uh, the CIA, the CEOs can be rest assured that hey, they're not going to get that AWS bill that's going to make them hit the roof. So making sure we've got the right checks and balances and approval flow is all a part of our child management platform. And at that point, I know you really passionate AI and the role that it plays in operations and the entire cloud management platform and cloud for day platform So your thoughts in the poem? >>Yes, sir. No, thank you. But so yeah, yeah, I led operations is really part off the bigger question and the pain point that customers are faced with, which is I've reached the cloud. Now, how do I optimized and get benefits from the cloud on the benefits is around. You know, uh, utility for on demand access to resource is, uh, this cost optimization potential and the security, uh, cloud security potential that, if not managed properly, can really blow up in the face. And unfortunately, you know that in the case on the AI ops led Operation Side, that's again a huge foretell area where Unisys Investor is investing a lot off a lot off i p and creating a lot of differentiation. And the objective there is to ask Customers adopt cloud for day as they adopt Unisys Cloud services. They're able to take advantage off cost optimization capabilities, which essentially looks at historical usage on predicts future usage, based on a number off a I artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that that is able to give you predictions that otherwise very hard to hard to get and, uh, in the cloud environment because of the sheer velocity volume and variety of the data. Doing that in a manual fashion is very, very hard. So automated machine learning driven approach is very productive is very effective on, you know, some of the outcomes that we've achieved is is just amazing. We've been able to save up to 25% off infrastructure costs through the island operations. About 40% off infrastructure incidents have bean reduced due to root cause analysis. Eso onda up to 35% off meantime, to resolution improvements in time. So huge customer benefits driven by e I led operations. The I am a approaches to following the problem. >>Let me see him If I could stick with you for a second big numbers that you just talked about and we talked a few minutes ago about outcomes. It's all about outcomes right now with this rush to cloud as as a new set. And we talked about this on the Cuba all the time. We've seen that the last eight months there is an acceleration of this digital transformation. I'm just curious una come from your perspective as the VP and CTO cloud how are you? What are some of the things that you advise customers to do if they need to rush to the cloud 21 just, you know, move their business quickly and not have the stay on life support. What are some of the things that you advise them to do when they're in this? Maybe a few months ago, when they were in the beginning of this? >>Yeah, that's that's a very interesting question, and lot off our clients are faced with that question as they either they're already in the cloud or the deciding to migrate to the cloud on the whole journey. Customer journeys for either stepping on the cloud or managing and operating the optimizing the cloud deployments is very key. So if you look at the market research that's out there and what we hear from our customers, the key challenges are really, really around. How do I migrate to the cloud without facing a lot of bottlenecks and challenges, and how do I overcome them? So that's the keeping pain point and again cloud for the advisory services and the cloud services that we offer allows customers to take up uh, toe work with us, and we work with the customer to ensure that they're able to do that on and then rapidly migrating to the cloud, managing and operating their operations. The hybrid cloud operations in optimized fashion is a huge challenge. How do they migrate? How do they migrate with security and compliance not being compromised once they're in the cloud, ensuring cloud security is and compliance is is maintained. Ensuring that the cost structure is is optimized so that they're not being mawr wants to move to the cloud compared to on premises and and then taking advantage of the whole cloud. Deployments to ensure you're looking at data are nothing the data to derive meaningful business outcomes. So if the entire end to end customer journey that needs to be looked at optimized. And that's where Unisys comes in with a cloud for the platform where we work with the customers to enhance the journeys. And in this case I want to mention CSU, which is, uh, the California State University, where the approach Unisys to really work with them to deliver uh, cloud services by enhancing the the objective was to enhance the student learning experience to enable adoption off off the technology by the students but also to achieve better performance, better adoption cost savings on we were able to deliver about 30% better performance help realize about 30 33% savings on 40% plus growth in adoption. On this was for about half a million student bodies. The 50,000 plus faculty staff spread across 23 campuses. So deploying, optimizing on and managing the infrastructure is something that Unisys does. Does that. And this is an example of that. I know you want to add anything to that. >>Absolutely Any Permanente's really well and, >>uh, >>it Z also securing, making sure securities with the >>journey >>it Z O Keefe or hybrid cloud. Um, uh, at least I'm sure you're aware of the Unisys tagline is securing tomorrow. So who better s so we really, really take that really, really seriously in terms of making sure we seek clients cloud journeys, and >>you >>probably heard the statistic from her. About 80% off cloud breaches are due to mis configuration, and this could have bean prevented. And and it doesn't. There's an element of the human angle in there. You believe strongly that can automate using our platform. So we've got 2000 plus security policies, which makes sure which again enables our clients to be compliant as well. So no matter what compliant standards, we've got several off our clients, for example, in the financial sector that are hosted on AWS and that we managed and they have to, especially the US They have to comply with Y de f s, the New York Department of Financial Services and making sure that they compliant with all the standards out there, which is next plus plus in this case. So that's part of what we do and enabling those journeys and then just keeping up with the rate of change like on different was talking about the variety and velocity of the data and and the rate of change of the applications out there, especially as businesses react to the pandemic and have to cope with the changing business paradigms out there. They have to be quick. Um, so we've got a drugmaker, one of the most premium drug makers in the US, who is who is against it on AWS, and, uh, they're racing for the cure and they are always looking at How do they get drugs quicker to the market? And that means accelerating applications. And we know that based on research by the Dora study, that if you adopt develops paradigms, you can accelerate 200 times faster than if you didn't. But then you have to underpin backward security as well. So really helping this adopt deaths are cops in all their deployments to AWS so that they can really race for the cure. That's the kind of business outcomes that we really, uh, are really, really proud to drive for our clients. >>Excellent on a pound. Let's wrap this up with you. We've just got about 30 seconds left sticking on the security front. It's such a huge topic right now. It has been for a long time, but even more so during these unprecedented times when you're talking with customers, what makes Unisys unique from a security perspective? >>So first thing is to understand what it takes to solve the hybrid cloud security problem. Like you said earlier, that's the biggest pain point that we hear from customers from our clients on. It's all over the market research all the breaches that have happened, like the zoom breach that happened that compromised about half a million, you know, user log ins. And then there was also the the Marriott breach, where about half a billion users names and credential for legal legal. So it Zaveri easy for customers, potential customers to become like a headline. And our our job really are the companies to make sure that they're not the next capital one or the next Marriott, uh, showing up in the newspaper. So we kind of look at their customer deployments situation on. We put together a comprehensive into an hybrid cloud solution, hybrid cloud security and compliance solution that includes look, securing their cloud infrastructure, their cloud workloads in terms of applications that they might have secured, and also to look at securing their applications, which may or may not be running on the cloud. So we kind of take a very holistic approach, using our homegrown solutions and partner solutions to create a comprehensive, robust hybrid cloud solution that really fits the customer context and and so we we are essentially a trusted adviser for our for our clients to create the solution, which again, at the cloud 40 ashore, which is a cloud security posture management solution. We have a cloud worker protection solution on then stealth, which is a full stack security solution if combined together with the other cloud Forte platform components on. We wrap this up in a matter of security services offering that allows US customers to have complete peace of mind as we take care off assessment remediation monitoring on, then continues Posture, posture, management. I know. Do you want to add anything to that? >>If I'm think in terms of closing, I think like you covered it well, we've got platform competence and services that run the gamut off the off the life cycle from migrations to two transformations. And one thing that I think in terms of outcomes of these, uh, when the service built around it have really helped us. Dr is, um is kind of responding especially to our public sector clients, very passionate about enabling cloud journeys for our public sector clients. And we'll take the example of Georgia Technology s So this is the G t A. Is the technology agency for all services are 14 of the agencies in Georgia and many of these public sector agencies had to quickly adopt cloud to deal with the report workers. Whether it was v D I whether it was chatbots on cloud, um, it was it was, ah, brand new world out there, the new normal. And it was just using the cloud management platform that anyone was refering to. We were able to kind of take them from taking three months. Plus to be able to provision workloads Thio thio less than 30 minutes to provision workloads. And this is this is across hybrid cloud. So and this is >>a big outcome, especially in this time where things were changing so quickly. Well, I wish we had more time, guys because I could tell you have a lot more that you can share. You're just gonna have to come back. And I like that. The tagline securing tomorrow. Adding on to what Anu Pump said So your customers don't become the next headline.
