Immutable protection has secured critical workloads and delivers strong automated recovery options
I think immutable protection is the most valuable feature; that is something the customer will resonate with. I think AI-powered insights for predictive analytics is an attractive topic because people like to learn more about it, but I do not think right now people are ready to spend money on just these features. I think it is an add-on that customers appreciate, but it is not a special or separate topic that the customer will prioritize. I think Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks is a good topic to discuss with customers right now, but I do not think at the moment it would be a separate initiative that the customer already has a budget for. I think Rubrik Go is effective in enabling workload recovery and provisioning, but it has yet to be proven with our customer implementation.
