"See, Tom, if I'm sitting down with an IT executive, right, who's mapping out, say, a three to five-year infrastructure roadmap, my strongest advice is very simple, right? Match your network operating system to your engineer team's core skill set and operational model, not industry buzzwords. Do not jump to an open operating system just because it sounds modern, if you lack the internal expertise to run it at scale, okay? So we will, we still do and will continue to sell NXOS and ACI aggressively because for many organizations, a highly integrated single vendor stack is the right business choice. So, and we're going to, we do like on Cisco AK and, you know, I mentioned about Nexus Hyperfabric and we will soon have support of Sonic on our Nexus family as well. But the ultimate guiding principle is to choose hardware platforms that do not lock you into a single software destiny."
