 The Cube is where we try to extract information and share it with the broader communities and get out there. And we have a long history talking with Q-Logic and we've had a number of Q-Logic people at previous shows in the past. And so first of all, I believe you're new to Q-Logic, correct? And this is your first time in the Cube. It is, yeah. All right. And if you're extracting information, don't go too hard on me if you don't mind. It's all right. So give us a little background in yourself and where you come from and what brought you to Q. Yeah, so I've been in storage business for a while. So probably 20 plus years I've been in the storage business. And just recently I was in the business with Quantum as an OEM channels guy. Sure. And just within the last few weeks I've started at Q-Logic. Great opportunity for me and really excited about it. Excellent. Great. So we're here at HP Discover and obviously a very strong partner. We were just talking about virtual systems and the FlexFabric Virtual Connect, which is built on Q-Logic technology. I wrote last year that it actually killed the protocol wars. It's fiber channel and ethernet are converging together. That's built on Q-Logic technology partnered with HP. So what are you doing here at HP Discover? Where's the relationship with Q-Logic and HP? Well, it's a great opportunity for us just to network and work with a lot of the sales and the channel partners that we work with every day. I think Q-Logic is a bit of an unknown secret underneath a lot of the chemistry that makes the HP products great. So all the things we're focused on around FlexFabric, the things we're doing around virtual connect, these are all projects that we've worked on for years with HP, a lot of development work, cooperative work that went into those. And I think one of the things we want to try and do is just make sure that we're doing everything we can to make that an extension of their sales efforts and make them successful. Right. So as you said, Q-Logic is one of those embedded pieces. Q-Logic also has components. So most people, if they're familiar with Q-Logic, think about fiber channel host bus adapters, something that might not be the sexiest thing, but that device driver doesn't work. My storage, my server can't talk to each other. So a lot of value, mission critical, running in all the data centers there. And Q-Logic, many years ago, through the leadership of HK to PSI, really pivoted to the embedded space. But maybe from the sales standpoint, where is Q-Logic from standalone products, embedded, channels, OEMs? Where's Q-Logic in the ecosystem today? Yeah, you mentioned something interesting. It's kind of the heritage of the company. It's one of the things that attracted me to Q-Logic. This is a company that's built on a technology basis. A lot of engineering brain in this company. These guys are very capable, very sharp engineers. And that's kind of our heritage. And it's one of the things that attracted me. I think in our business, we need to be technically differentiated. We need to be pushing the envelope a bit. And that's one of the things that I think has helped us develop such a strong position in fiber channel adapters, what everybody knows Q-Logic for. I think the interesting thing is there's more to the product line now. We've done a lot more in recent years, stuff that people are not as aware of probably. So a lot of the converged infrastructure that we're focused on right now, it's a big extension. As people look for flexibility in the protocols and the way that they connect their storage, we see a big advantage there. We've got a strong history in storage. We know storage better than anybody. And as those protocols move forward and as people need flexibility in the environments, as they build fabrics out, it's one of the places where we offer a big advantage today. Yeah, and I have to say, I believe HP is a very strong partner from Q-Logic. Last year, John Furrier actually broke the news when there was the big split between HP and Cisco over switches and Q-Logic was the beneficiary from the fiber channel switching standpoint. So you talked about some cool and interesting technologies. Maybe you can give us, give a little insight about some of the places that Q-Logic's playing. Well, I think in relation to what happened a year ago, those things are happening throughout the industry today. There's still a lot of, the storage market is consolidating. You've got a lot of people that are becoming part of bigger companies. I think one of the things that you'll always see from us is that as we develop products and as we move forward, flexibility is going to be a big part of what we're focused on. I think if you look at between left-hand and three-par and EVA and MSA, all the storage technologies that HP represents in the market today, giving customers the flexibility to adapt and use tiers of storage where they need it and use one fabric and have a common connectivity structure with those products is really important. And I think that's something, looking forward, we look at things we're working on technology-wise. It's to push that forward and do more with it. If we're able to give people, I think the big things we're focused on are gonna be performance and scalability. Obviously it's important in a storage world, especially as people put more on less storage systems. It's gonna be the flexibility of those systems being able to adapt to different protocols. And simplicity is a big thing. Simplicity, management, all those things. So Rob, I mean, we talk about convergence. Q-Logic plays at the storage level, the server layer, and the network layer. Network's really kind of the core. So final question I have for you is, big trend waved towards Ethernet being more prevalent in storage. You're the sales guy there. How's Q-Logic gonna take on the likes of Intel and Broadcom and your traditional competitors like Emulex? How does Q-Logic come through this transition being a market leader? Yeah, I think the thing you look for is where's our heritage number one? We're a strong storage player. We know the fiber channel and the storage world extremely well. I think converged infrastructure. There's a lot of pluses to that, but there's also challenges because you've got critical data expertise and experience in storage is important. Making sure the stack's proven that you've got technology that's been through the battles and is hardened, that's one of the advantages we bring to the market. So as much as storage as a part of that converged infrastructure, we see a really strong role for Q-Logic in there. And I think that's of all the things, all the data we're moving across network, storage is one of the toughest. It has the highest requirements, the least tolerance for interruption, all of those things. The fact that we have strength there is going to be an advantage to us. I absolutely agree. Storage is mission critical. Can't loot, no unavailability, no data loss. So Rob, first of all, best of luck in your new role with Q-Logic. You are now a Q-Balloon, so thank you for sharing with the community. That's my first time on the Q-Balloon, it was fun.
