My environment is just too big and too complex for a cloud backup solution. So, Matt, what do you think? Let's start with you and then we'll go. Well, I think Chris covered it off in the last couple of slides in here. You know it is. It's all right. It stems. You know I mean these all kind of build and build on each other. You know, if, uh, your environment. All right. I'm getting my, uh, furry assistant to join us here as, uh, many of us do. And the home office, um, you know, just it's the same excuse as if you were arguing. Hey, you know, it's on prem. It needs to stay on prem. You know, it's too big. It's too complex. Uh, you know, cloud backup can't handle it. Look at you. You're. You're going to be famous. Um. You know, and I think that those are maybe excuses from days gone by where, you know, there simply wasn't the support for some of these applications or there wasn't the ability to provide, you know, very highly customized and capable, uh, backup solutions, uh, you know, from the cloud, you know, a decade or so ago when some of these myths first came out, uh, and that's just not the case anymore. You know, there's there's no reason why the applications that you're leveraging, the environments that you're using, uh, you know, and as I said, you know, I think way back in slide one, you know, um, you know, these environments that you're working in are getting big. They are getting complex. And yet, you know, by being able to go with, uh, you know, a backup as a service provider, um, you know, the, uh, you can simplify all that. So, yes, it's your, your environments complex, but that doesn't mean that you can't simplify it through, uh, through a backup solution that, uh, that takes some of that burden off your hands. So everybody likes to think they've got a bigger and better environment than you have. Everybody likes to think they've got the most complex, the biggest environment, and theirs is the biggest one to sort out or the biggest trouble. And it's just not the case. I mean, unless you're, you know, the size of the US government or even then I doubt they've got the same sort of degree of problem as maybe some of the bigger, bigger banks or, you know, there's always going to be there's always going to be a bigger fish, isn't there, who's got a bigger setup than you've got. So, you know, just just accept that, yes, you might have a complex environment, but it's still going to be handleable by the cloud or, or a solution that's built in the cloud. Because ultimately, most of the vendors that are building SaaS based data protection aren't building it in their own on premises data centers. The ones who are clever enough are looking at the fact that the cloud gives them the scalability to build a solution and to scale up and down to match your requirements. And therefore, no matter how big you are, the cloud's probably bigger than you are anyway, so you're still going to be able to be protected by that environment as long as their environment scales to match. So it doesn't to me, strike me as being a bit a big issue, to be fair. And I think it also goes back that to that, you know, that point we we mentioned a second, Matt, where I mentioned about would you really back up your SaaS applications to an on premises environment? Well, surely the simplification of that is to have somebody who actually can write, can back up a SaaS application directly, and then there's no data flowing through your data centers anymore. It's going between the cloud provider and and the, the data protection provider. You're out of the loop. Simple. Keeps it really simple. And so I think you can actually simplify your data protection by deciding to move it to an external provider. Yeah. And you look at a lot of that increase in terms of the diversification of applications of, uh, you know, data source and stuff like that is actually happening in the cloud. So, you know, as you said, it just it just makes logical sense that, you know, if most of these new workloads and new databases and new applications are being built and living in the cloud, uh, you know, working with a provider that's also in the cloud is kind of just a logical step there. Uh, you know, instead of trying to pull it somewhere else.
