Thanks. I was just hoping you could clarify your comments. So on the one hand, you’re saying that the qualifications for the cloud guys has taken a little longer and is pushing business out of 3Q and then into Q4, and then, on the other hand, you’re saying that that’s not an impact on the numbers, and I’m not sure I understand what you mean by those two statements. They seem to be contradictory.

We’re saying that we didn’t do as well in the cloud titan in Q3 as we did in Q2. That’s what we’re really saying. But that doesn’t mean the other types of customers didn’t contribute to our number. So all five verticals did well, and it was very balanced. Cloud titan is still our number one vertical. So I don’t think they’re mutually contradictory statements. They’re actually connected, right?

So if the cloud titans are…

If the cloud titans are coming back in on the fourth quarter, and the other guys don’t change trajectory, why wouldn’t it accelerate in the fourth quarter then?
Ita M. Brennan - Arista Networks, Inc.
I mean we’re growing at, like, 50%, year-over-year, Alex, on a quarter-over-quarter basis. I don’t know that it accelerates off of that. I think Q3 we had some impacts and Jayshree has said it was a slight impact from the qualifications and so on. And we’ll see what happens in Q4, right? We have work to do there, and we’re working through that with them.

Okay. Great. Thanks.
Little excerpt regarding the Needham’s question. Love the response from Ita.
Thought it was an amazing CC. Have a listen to it rather than read it. Very optimistic and positive. The CEO/CFO know their stuff.
Fighting2016 highlights the proud moments well.
