So another question that comes up a lot with their customers is this whole question around SD and its role in the multi cloud world that we're increasingly living in.
And, you know, unless you've been living under a rock, we are living in a multi cloud world but just to kind of quickly recap.Right. Look at you, you've, we've got your branch that we're always gonna talk about when the SD wan conversation, we've got applications that are sitting in the data center that you need to have access to.
We've got applications that are sitting in some of the major public clouds. We've got, you know, pure kind of based applications like office 365 or SF DC and applications are everywhere and you know, our customers and the users that they support, need access to all of them.
And so SDWN is gonna have to play a role in making life easy for them to support this massive transition of multi cloud. Yeah, and it actually gets a little bit more complicated than that because it's not just the traditional applications that we've become so accustomed to mail CRN.
Uh and er P but it's the new applications that are constantly being developed. Um And you know, most of these applications are being developed today are being born cloud first. So the question becomes ok, so SD A is going to play a huge role in this, but how, how is it going to play a role? So one of the huge differentiators for Vela cloud in the STAN space is this concept of what we call a gateway.
Now, gateways, our develop cloud software operated by Vela Cloud already launched all across the globe and all the major service providers. And what it allows us to do is it allows us to create a tunnel between these SD devices and what we call the front door of the SAS offerings, whether that be IAS or software as a service or platform service.
And what that really allows us to do and this is this is really cool is it allows us to take a look at all the applications that are running through our boxes, right? And if we know what all the applications are, then we take and prioritize our applications that are critical to us. And that's fantastic, which means that we get to leverage these links to a great extent.
But as we know, we actually have multiple locations where we need to go to get to these different services. And what makes things more complicated is that these applications are being developed and they're migrating, they're in flux So the beautiful thing behind what develops does is with our application recognition engine, we take a look at the application engine.
We take a look at the application, we look at the priority, then we look at where it's being serviced up from and then we find the best way to get from point A to point B. And that can even mean if you have multiple circuits between the two. Yeah. So the net net of rewinding the clock back to the way this would have worked previously when that application moved from one place to another.
I'm redoing all of my routing tables to figure out how to direct traffic from that branch location to get to that application by planting these gateways all over the world. Applications have, they can be incredibly fluid and our wide area network simply doesn't care absolutely true.
And you know, when you build that next killer app, that's, you know, leveraging data that's coming from an IOT device that hasn't even been developed yet, right? You're future proofing your network as well because you don't need C ce S to reprogram 1000 routers.
In order to take advantage of this new application, you can enter that new application into the mix, right? And then it already knows where it's being serviced up from. And even if it changes over time, we can, we can figure out where it went and still honor that priority.
Yeah, so it all out Sdn is a key enabler of, you know, you know, quite frankly surviving in the multi cloud world that we're in. I hope you found this helpful.
