>> Announcer: Live from New York, it's theCube! Covering AWS Global Summit 2019. Brought to you by Amazon Web Services. >> Welcome back, here in New York City for the AWS Summit. I'm Stu Miniman and my cohost is Corey Quinn. And I'm happy to welcome two guests from NetApp. First to my right, welcome back to the program from another cloud show earlier this year. Jonsi Stefansson, who's the CCO and Vice President for Cloud Services. And to his right, well it's a first time on the program. I actually was on one of his earlier podcasts, Jeff Dickey, who's joining NetApp as the chief technologist inside that same cloud and data services group. Jeff, welcome and Jonsi welcome back. >> Thank you, Stuart. >> Thank you. >> Okay so Jonsi, let's start with you. So we've watched the cloud and data services. From my words it's like almost, I want a new brand. It's like this is not the ONTAP, everywhere, you know, best NFS, you know the number one thing there, it's about multi cloud, it's about getting the value out of my data that transformation we've seen overall in what was known as the storage industry. There are a lot of new people, a lot of new products, and it's the you know the and is I think there was one NetApp term is all of the history and the things you could trust, but a lot of new things. So give us the updates on what's exciting in your world. >> Yeah absolutely, I mean of course we are still relying on that old trusted ONTAP and WAFL storage operating system in the back end, but we have extracted a lot of that into a more automation or you're consuming it in a more autonomous way. We are actually taking all the the storage norms that the traditional storage admin is really used to, you know tweaking and all of that. That's all done and managed by us. It's fully as a service and we are more focused on the data management capabilities of ONTAP than the actual storage system or the performance of that storage operating system. I mean we are in a very unique position as NetApp. I mean we have a very strong foothold in the enterprise. And now we have integrated services with all the public clouds. I mean fully native integrated services either going through their own console or at their own APIs or with our own UI. So the data management capabilities that we are actually bringing to the table is you can seamlessly migrate from the core to the edge and to the cloud, depending on where you want your data to reside. So our goal is actually to do something very similar as Kubernetes has done to the application layer. They have made it completely mobile, there is no longer that VM format issues that you had in the old days. It's basically just a kernel module, I can move it wherever on top of a hypervisor of choice or a public cloud of choice. But that has always been sort of left behind on some propriety box sitting there. But NetApp like I said, NetApp is in this very unique position of being able to move, migrate, replicate and split the data according to your strategy whether it's on-premise or the public cloud. >> All right, Jeff, would love to hear your viewpoint as what you're hearing from customers. I've known you for many years. Talk about that journey towards cloud and what is cloud and how does it fit into their customer environment. Give us what brought you into NetApp and some of the conversations you're having if you've been digging in with the NetApp team. >> Well the coming to NetApp is actually a long story. I've known the Green Cloud folks for a long time. I think was the first kind of US partner of theirs and had been a big fan of first their cloud and then their software so I was really excited when the data acquisition happened and you know for about a year I was learning like the stuff they're working on and that was blowing my mind and again, I've worked with almost every storage company out there so it was exciting to, like the future of what was happening and then after the acquisition of Stackpoint which I was currently working with, so it's like NetApp kind of took my two favorite companies in a short time so I said, hey, I want to be working on, you guys are doing the coolest stuff that I've seen right now and the roadmap is blowing my mind, I want to join. So it's been a great time here. I think what's most unique, what I've found is that the typical, when you're doing cloud consulting, you go after the low-hanging fruit. It's very simple strategy. You know, if you were to go to a customer and say, "Let's take your highest demanding, "most revenue generating systems "and we're going to migrate those to AWS first." Well they're going to look at the $10 billion contract and you know the two year engagement and say no, we're not going to do that. You go for the low-hanging fruit. But because of the products that have come out and what we're doing in the public clouds, we're for the first time we have NFS, you know like basically SLA performant file system in the cloud that can handle the biggest, baddest on-prem apps. So now that we're able to do that, what customers are doing, they are now we're taking those big ones and it's accelerating the whole journey of the cloud because instead of creating more of a chasm between your public cloud infrastructure and your on-prem, there's a lot of people, you know face it, if you've got a $50 million budget, you're putting it mostly into cloud and some of your on-prem, which again is still generating a lot of revenue, is not getting the love it needs and it's not becoming cloud either and you have this kind of chasm. So it think it's great that with the customers we're working with, they're very excited to be moving what they thought they were never going to be able to move because it just wasn't there. And now they have native connections to all the services they love, like you know, here at AWS. So it's just great 'cause you know, yes they're consolidating their data and you're having less silos, that's exciting. But what excites me most is what are they going to do next and after that what're they going to do next with that? Like as they learn how to use their data and connect more to cloud services and our cloud services and the public cloud services, they're going to be able to do way more than they ever thought they would. >> Something that I think would resonate with a number of folks has been that, I go a little bit back, I'm a little older than I look, although I wear it super well. And I cut my teeth on WAFL and working with SnapMirror and doing all kinds of interesting things with that, it's easy to glance, walk around the expo hall and glance at it and figure huh, I see there's a NetApp booth. You must still be trying to convince AWS to let you shove a filer into us-east-1. That's not really what your company does anymore in the traditional sense but I think a lot of people may have lost that message. From a cloud perspective, what is NetApp doing in 2019? >> So I mean we are really, really software focused. So I mean we are doing a lot of work. We are containerizing that WAFL operating system, we are really excited about launching that as alpha today. That basically means launching as an alpha in October. That basically means that you could get all the ONTAP data management goodies on top of any storage operating system on top of any physical or persistent discs in any of these different public clouds. EPS, Volumes, Google PDs or Azure, we wanted to make it so anybody can actually deploy ONTAP. We've always have that story with ONTAP Select but being able to containerize it, I don't know if we can actually. So we can actually reap the benefits of Kubernetes when it comes to high availability, rapication, auto-scaling and self-healing capabilities to make it a much more robust scale out as well as scale up solution. So that's truly our focus. And our focus for 2019 is of course, we've been really, really busy with our heads down coding for a long, long time or for a long time. Very short time in NetApp terms, but in cloud terms, very, very long. Like for the last 18 months. But now we're really sort of integrating our entire portfolio where we have monitoring, deep analytics, compliancy, Kubernetes, storage providers, schedulers. So everything is sort of gelling together now. >> So I think back a couple of years ago, if you talked to Amazon, the answer to everything was move everything to the public cloud. Today, Amazon at least admitted that hybrid cloud is a thing. They won't say hybrid necessarily but you know with the outposts and what they're doing with their partnership with VMware and the like, they're doing that. When I look at customers, most of them have multi cloud. Now when we say multi cloud it means they have lots of clouds and whether or not they're tied together, they're not doing that and while Amazon won't admit to it and isn't looking to manage in that environment, they're playing in that because if I have lots of clouds, one of them is likely AWS. NetApp sits at the intersection of a lot of this. You have your huge install base inside the data center, you're working very much with Amazon, and the other cloud providers. What I'm hoping to get from you is your insight on customers, you know, where are they today, what are they struggling with in that hybrid or multi cloud world and where do you see things maturing as we go the next couple of years? >> Well I mean, the fact of the matter is, 83% of all workloads still recite on-premise. Whether it stays like that or doesn't, I mean AWS is doing Outpost, Google is doing Anthos, Azure is doing Azure Stack. And the good thing is we are actually playing with all of them we are collaborating on all these different projects, both on the storage layer as well as on the application life cycle management. From our point of view, it is really important that we start tying all the infrastructure related stuff into the application layer so you're actually managing everything from that layer and down. So for a developer like me, it's actually really simple to actually do all the tasks and completely manage my own solution. Of course I need operations to be managing the infrastructure but I should be oblivious to it as a developer and what we are actually seeing customers doing now more and more and it's actually really impressing coming here to New York and meeting all these financial companies, they have always been like probably the slowest movers to the public cloud because of compliancy reasons and other stuff, but they are actually really adopting it. They have segmented out their workloads and really know what teams are allowed to provision and are supposed to be running in the public cloud in order to tap into the innovation that's happening there and what teams are only allowed to work on on-premise environments. So it sort of relates into the true cloud concept. The true cloud concept being everything is a cloud and there is no lock in, have the freedom of choice where to provision, where to spin up your workloads. So we're seeing that more and more from our customers. Wouldn't you agree? >> Yeah, totally agree. >> Yeah, Jeff I wonder if you could give a little bit more as you said, NetApp's done quite a few acquisitions in the last couple of years. What sort of things should people be thinking about NetApp that they might not have a couple years ago? >> Well I know, I'll tell a quick story. My first day as a NetApp employee was at KubeCon in Seattle and I remember I was wearing the Net badge and I had a friend that I was partnered with and he looked at my badge and says, "NetApp? "Like the box in the closet people?" And I just like well I mean not anymore. You know and I think that's the biggest thing. You mean Network Appliance? >> Those of us that have know NetApp long enough. >> Now it's internet application, right? Now it's a little bit different. I think the big thing is you know, it's not just a storage. I mean storage is a key component, and it's very important, but that's not the only thing and I think that on the cloud side it's very important because we're still maintaining this relationship with our storage appliances and everything but we have more buyers now so we can go across the company and say, "What are you doing? "Are you an SRE? "Are you a developer lead? "Are you a VP of operations?" We have all these products that work for them yet in the end, it's a single vision to the deep insights of everything they're doing with us. >> Just quick followup on that, I think when NetApp bought a Kubernetes company, it was like okay, I'm trying to understand how that fits when I look at NetApp's biggest partners, I think VMware, Cisco, Red Hat, all going heavily after software solutions including the kubernetes piece so how does NetApp do differently because you still have strong partnerships there. >> I think we're in a strong place because now we're doing two things, we're bringing the apps to the data and the data to the apps. So it's, where do you want to be? There's the right place for your app. There's a lot of choice now and now we have, you know, now you can choose. Where is this going to live best? Where is this going to operate? Where is this going to serve our customers best? What's going to be the most cost effective? You know, being able to deploy and manage. You know, type in a couple characters and your entire production of Kubernetes deployment is backed up into where you want. Like there's just you know, the apps are nothing without data, the data is nothing without the app right? So it's bringing those two together. I think it's very important to kind of get out there. My job is getting that out that it's not storage silos, this is about your apps. What are you doing with it? Where do you want your apps, and what is that data, how is the data helping your apps grow? You know, we're helping people move forward and innovate faster with these products. >> I mean both companies, my company Green Cloud and the Stackpoint company, we were really, really early adopters of Kubernetes and we've always taken both companies very application-centric point of view on Kubernetes while most everybody else have taken a very infrastructure-centric approach. We were two staffed of companies just developers and we always sort of felt like, because it's a very common misunderstanding that Kubernetes was actually built for developers. It wasn't. It is an infrastructure play, built and developed by the Google SREs to run code. So everything that we are adding on top of it and beneath it, it ties it all together. So I mean for a developer working on our Kubernetes offerings, he's basically working in his own element, he's just doing commands and magic happens in the packet. We tie the development branch to a specific Node Pole. We apply the staging branch to another one and the production environment, once you commit that, then it actually goes through like an SRE process where they are basically the gate keepers, where they actually either allow or say hey we found the bug or we are not able to deploy this according to our standards. So tying it all together, all the way from the storage layer all the way up to the application layer is what we are all about. And I got the same question when we were acquired. When we were Green Cloud, we were in a really, really, good situation where we had term sheets from three different companies. I'm not allowed to say which ones, but everybody, once I sold it to NetApp they were like, "Why NetApp?" But if you go to KubeCon, and you are always there, there is a very live matrix on what the biggest problems are with Kubernetes and persistent volume clearance and storage and data management hasn't been sold yet. And that's where we believe that we have a unique way of offering those data management capabilities all the way up the stack. >> All right well Jonsi and Jeff, thank you for giving us the update there, absolutely. Corey Quinn, I'm Stu Miniman. We'll be at KubeCon later this year in San Diego we're at Amazon re:Invent. Always go to theCUBE.net to see all the shows that we're at as well as hit the search and you can see the thousand of videos. Always no registration to be able to check that out so check all out all the interviews. And as always, thanks for watching theCUBE. (light techno music)

(electronic music) >> Announcer: Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering NetApp Insight 2018. Brought to you by NetApp. >> Welcome back to theCUBE's continuing coverage of NetApp Insight 2018. From the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. I'm Lisa Martin with Stu Miniman and we're welcoming back to theCUBE one of our alumni, Jennifer Meyer, Senior Director of Cloud Product Marketing at NetApp. And welcoming to theCUBE Alok Arora, Senior Director of Cloud Data Services and the Product Owner for NetApp Cloud Advisor, which we'll talk about today. So guys, the keynote this morning, one of the things that George Kurian, your CEO, whose going to be on the program I think next with Stu and me, talked about the four pillars of digital transformation, and one of them was hybrid and multi-cloud is now the de facto architecture. Jennifer, from a cloud marketing, product marketing stand point, how is NetApp engaging with your customers, both your install base enterprise customers and engaging with new customer to help them evolve a successful multi-cloud strategy? >> Well what's funny about that is it's not really even up to us, it's up to the customer and where they're at today, meeting them there and then taking them kind of to that destination that's interesting or important for them. And what we know today is that not only are customers in the cloud because they want to be close to innovation, that's one of our big themes, inspiring innovation with the cloud, but they've got their hands in multiple clouds. And studies show that at least 80-81% of customers are doing multi-cloud with two or more public clouds, and I think that's really interesting, you know I think that in some cases it's because their end uses, or their customers, have chosen a cloud that they want to go with and so they're trying to service those needs where they exist, but also maybe they realize that they want to subscribe or consume services in one cloud versus what's available in another cloud, and so it's not our job really to tell them where to go, it's to make sure we've got a consistent seamless amount of services to give these customers to consume, wherever they may be, in whichever public cloud. >> Yeah, well I like what you said, meeting them where they are, cause I think in some ways we're giving customers a little bit of credit that this was actually planned for as to how they got to where they are, you know I'm sure if we took that 81% that say they know they're multi-cloud, if we go with the other 19%, most of them are probably multi-cloud and just don't realize it. >> Jennifer: Absolutely. >> Because just like we had an IT in the old day, I have an application, a business unit, or somebody drives something, and oh my gosh, that's how we ended up with silos, we ended up breaking those things apart. >> Or shadow IT, right? You've got a lot of developers that know exactly what tools they want. >> We had a good discussion with Anthony Lye and Ted Brockway talking about Azure and some unique functionality that NetApp's looking to drive into that partnership with Microsoft. I wonder if we could step back, if you could help us understand kind of the cloud portfolio of NetApp, people that just know NetApp as "Oh it's, that's that filer company that I've probably "got a lot of products from." The multi-cloud has been evolving, for quite a few years now, so I want to help understand the breadth and depth of the offering. >> That's right and I think you know we always think about it almost like a four layer stack, in terms of our strategy and what we're doing to bring more of these innovative data services to our install base to your point, but also our net new buyers, folks that are coming to us through Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, or AWS, and so it really does start with our legacy and our foundation of, in this case, cloud storage, and the data services, or the advanced data management that's built upon those storage protocols. So of course it's NFS, NSMB, but when you think about being able to offer that, and compliment what's available in the public clouds today, because that's why they've chosen to partner with NetApp. On top of that we are delivering advanced services in those public clouds that have never been available before, things like automatic snapshots, or rapid cloning, and backup, and tiering, and I think it's really important because what it does is it extends our customers' experience from On-prem into the public cloud, without having to sacrifice a thing. >> Alok, it's a tough thing that customers are trying to figure out. When I look at it and talk to customers, they've got an application portfolio. What are they modernizing? What are they starting from fresh? And then they've got all the other stuff that they have, how is NetApp helping with what they do? >> Yeah, absolutely, I think that's a great point. So you talked about the offerings that we have with multi-cloud and that creates all the options for future state architecture, I can build there, however, in order to understand how do I get there I need to understand where I am today, right? So we start looking at your current state footprint, we look at our customer's current state footprint. Understand how it is architected. How it is designed, how it is serving up the applications. Because it can be really a tedious job to get started, to get to the cloud and building the roadmap. So what Cloud Advisor does is it leverages active IQ data to get that inside for us and be leveraging data science, machine learning, to give them a guidance as to how they can get there. What should be their migration approach. How should they build a transition strategy. Because a lot of times they would call the consultants to help with the transition strategy, at the end they get a PowerPoint, which is not very actionable. We started this grounds up, we understand their detail you know, how the stuff, the bits and bites, are organized so we start giving them an actionable strategy they can execute upon. So that's really Cloud Advisor geared for accelerating that journey to the cloud that our customers should be taking to. >> How are you guys helping customers to start embracing emerging technologies, IoT devices, we had Ducati on this morning, a MotoGP bike is basically an IoT device, but in terms of, Jennifer you talked about this, and Alok you reinforced it, you are basically co-developing in partnership with your customers, it's about where they, helping them understand where they are, what they can do today. How are some of the services helping them to be able to harness the power of AI, say for example, to work with data authority to use that data for actionable business insight, and outcomes? >> Yeah it's interesting you talk about the IoT, I think NetApp saw that 20 years ago. I mean ASAP is our original IoT, that is what we get billions of data points from our customers. Controllers, millions of controllers worldwide, and we build on that mirror data, and we apply the artificial intelligence in there. We actually start looking at classifying their applications so that, if they have a strategy driven by the application, as you were saying, hey there is a director from a BU, from majority point of view, we want to take these applications in the cloud. How do you figure out what application are? Where does the data live? How does it governed? We figure that out by that IoT data, by that artificial intelligence and also making sure that these applications, no work loads are left behind because applications can be complicated they talk to each other. So when you start thinking about taking one part of the application, you also want to make sure the other parts that make that application whole also go to the cloud. And that is where we're leveraging Artificial Intelligence to cluster these applications and recommending the customer that: "Hey don't make, don't leave these workloads behind "because otherwise you're going to have a failed strategy." So we warn them upfront to make sure they're successful when they start making the executions. >> I think another piece to that too is just the fact that for many years we've had workloads just trapped On-prem. They haven't had a place to go into the public cloud without a ton of refactoring or rearchitecting, right. You'd have to rewrite them for objectory. You'd have to do a lot of manual labor and things just to make it happen. In most cases it hasn't been worth it. And so when you looked at the fact that about 80% of On-prem files where in NFS V3 protocol, there wasn't really a place in the public cloud to match that and so by even just delivering Cloud Volumes Service for Google Cloud and AWS or Azure NetApp Files which is the version for Azure, we're able to give customers an, a way to free up that trapped set of workloads, put those into the public hub, so that it then can be available to all of those advanced services that live on those public clouds to do things like Big Data Analytics or to do developing, you know, applications and services of their own and for their own benefit. >> You Know. >> Yeah I think that's a great point because >> He's so excited.| >> Sorry. >> Because when you start looking at building your strategy you want to have confidence in your strategy. >> Jennifer: right. >> So, with your protocols and all that discovery. We also not only give you the option that NetApp offers but show you what are the other options you have within Hyperscalers and how would your workload perform with NetApp technology. So you can move with confidence, right. So that's the good part of about Cloud Advisor to make sure you're moving with confidence not just, you know, with a blind spot with you. >> You know one of the transitions we've been watching is really the ascendancy with the developer in DevOps. And I've talked to the SolidFire team for many years, I see them at some of the shows that we've been covering. In the Keynote this morning George Kurian said that Kubernetes and Istio are the multi-Cloud control plane. Jennifer I'm wondering if you can help explain the StackPointCloud acquisition. >> Jennifer: (agrees) >> Some people that might not have the context of about what NetApp and SolidFire, even before the acquisition were doing. You know, we're being like: "Wait I don't understand, you know." >> Sure. >> Kubernetes is something That you know Google and you know, Red Hat and others are doing. >> Why is NetApp talking about Kubernetes? >> Why is NetApp talking about Kubernetes? >> And we even learned what the abbreviation for is was. >> Stu: K8s. >> It's like we're all hip. Absolutely. >> Absolutely, just because. >> It's all about concatenate long words together. So it, it's really interesting because when I talked about that four layer strategy, right the third layer. So it's you know cloud storage at the bottom. Then it's the advanced capabilities and data management above that. But the one that's next is orchestration and integration. And there's really a few things that live in there. You know, the, our cloud orchestration sort of technology is really what we got from our Qstack acquisition. Our teams in Iceland and what they've been able to do largely to underpin a lot of what we've seen with cloud volume service today. But certainly right in there is NetApp Kubernetes service, which as you now know, is from our StackPoint intellectual property. And so back on September 18th, when we announced this acquisition it was really to kind of give our developers and our DevOps folks a way to finally start solving for some of that data gravity that I think we've been periled by over the last few years. And what we now know is Kubernetes is the operating system of the clouds, right. It is the clear winner of container orchestration among things so it made a lot of sense to pair that kind of multi-cloud orchestration again given our strategy to be where our customers want to be with some of our cloud orchestration technology from our Qstack acquisition and make sure that with Trident and some of the ways that we're able to deliver finally persistent storage to those containers. I mean this is like a match made in heaven. Right, we're going to give people the way to make sure that they know that containers are a femoral and data is not. So let's help them do kind of all the things that they want to do in the clouds if they want to do them. >> I think I read on line that, was the StackPointCloud acquisition based on after actually NetApp used it internally. >> Jennifer: Yes. >> Tell us a little bit more about that. Because I think the NetApp on that up story is probably something that could be leverage, you're a marketer, as a differentiator when customers have so much choice. >> Well and I feel like it's a story that every vendor should be forced to tell. If you're not willing to use your own IP and technology what is that saying to your customers. >> Lisa: Yeah. >> So it is true and a lot of our developer teams, if you've hear of Jonsi Stefansson and Anthony Lye's team, that is how this sort of came about as we were looking for a way to sort of do it ourselves. And we thought man through all this investigation there's something here. There's something that we shouldn't hold to ourselves and we should share with the rest of the world. And so at one point we need to get those guys on with you as well so they can tell a little bit more about their story. >> So proof is always in the pudding. Can you give uan example of one of your favorite customer stories. We'll start with you Alok. Who have really embraced the clouds, first of all helped you develop the optimal cloud services are now really achieving big business benefits with the cloud services NetApp is developing. >> Yeah so, several of the customers as we talked to you and specially for Cloud Advisor, as we were looking at their journey as they were starting to think about how much money they were spending upfront to figure out a strategy, they had a strategy driven by a data center that was, were the lease was coming up, and so they had to plan to evacuate that data center into the cloud from there they need to figure out what applications they're running there obviously the virtualization also was there, so that had to be configured in the cloud. So we started thinking about in that use case that we need to provide these triggers and strategy points to our customers. At the same time the other shift that we saw was that these guys were not just talking amongst the infrastructure teams, they had to talk to the application owners and they had to have conversations with CFO's to talk about the economics of the clouds. So we made sure that when we build this that give them the tools that enable them to talk to various stakeholders. Give them the application footprint that is running there. Give them the economics. What it is going to cost to run these applications and workloads that they have identify too when they're in the cloud. So give them the data point that they can go and talk to their CFO. So with that really it starts shaping a product that will meet their needs and meet the needs of all of our customers. >> Lisa: Jennifer, favorite customer example. >> Oh, it's easy this week because it's all about WuXi NextCODE and I don't know if you picked up on any of their story cause we've plastered it around our conference this week because we're so proud of, not only what they're doing as a mission which is very impressive in terms of genomics sequencing and the scale at which they're doing it but the fact that they've based their foundation now on NetApp Cloud Volume services is huge. And really what they came to us and said is: "Look, we are trying to sequence all of these genomes "in parallel and our benchmark is really to look at about "a hundred thousand individuals at once." When they were trying to do that on their own, using there own self-managed storage in the cloud, they could never complete it. It would either fail or they would have some sort of a problem where they just couldn't get it to work. And with NetApp Cloud Volume Service they were able to complete in about 45 minutes. And so what their finding is again with this extreme performance, with the ability to scale and most importantly the tie it back to our discussion, it's multi-cloud, they themselves are multi-cloud because of their big pharma and hospitals that they serve. They have customers in every one of those public clouds and so we are able to help them where ever they need us to be. And that's very exciting. >> It's also one of those great examples that everybody understands. Genomic sequencing related to healthcare, you know disease predictions and things like that. So it's a story that resonates well. >> Jennifer: Sure. >> But something that you just said sort of reminded me of one of the four principles that George Kurian talked about this morning. And speed is the new scale. And this sounds like a customer who's achieving that in spades. >> Well it's so fun because I think for a long time we've been really fast On-prem and I think people have just sort of come to expect a certain level of it's good enough in the public cloud and what we're showing them in droves again on AWS GCP or with Azure is that you should expect more. Particularly for high-performance computing workloads or things that you really just, if you're moving your SAP workloads to the cloud and speed is, there is no option it has to be fast. We are showing people now possibilities that they didn't ever dream of before because of this extreme performance through things like Cloud Volumes Service. >> It's really too bad you guys aren't excited about this. (laughs) >> I know how much longer do you have? >> (laughs) Jennifer, Alok, thank you so much for stopping by and having a chat with Stu and me. And talking about how customers are really helping NetApp become a data authority that they need to be to help customers become data driven. We appreciate your time. >> It's our pleasure. >> Have a great time at the rest of the show. >> Thank you. >> Thank you both. >> Thank you. >> For Stu Miniman, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE live from NetApp Insight 2018, from Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. Stick around Stu and I will be back shortly with our next guest. (electronic music)
