You get a new customer up and running on-premises, you have to install Citrix, you have to configure Citrix, there's a whole bunch of stuff you have to install and configure outside of Citrix. It's the applications, the workloads, the servers. That's really where the heavy lifting is.
For the Citrix Cloud, we're installing the Citrix bytes for you, but the workloads themselves don't live in the Citrix Cloud. We're giving customers and partners the opportunity to architect their environments with a lot of flexibility. The workloads can land in a public cloud, they can live in a hybrid cloud, they can stay on-premises. Whatever's the best place for them to go. That flexibility is going to give customers the opportunity to have a long-term vision, to phase into the cloud. That flexibility is going to lead to more services, more design opportunities for partners to become engaged on the implementation front.
