>> Let's talk a little bit about your core platforms, your data centers. Are you focused more on scaling out or scaling up?
>> Well, we're in the middle of actually trying to rethink our datacenter strategy. And the reason for that is that one of the big trends facing the industry today is what I would call computing in the cloud. And it's being driven by the number of cores being added to the CPU and the increased number of CPU's being put in a single server and then the increased number of servers being put in a datacenter. And so this leads to a huge amount of computing power at your fingertips and at the datacenter. And that makes this internally inaudible think about software as a service, increasingly becoming an attractive solution to be able to put that power in the datacenter, deliver that power in the datacenter, to our customers. So from an IT perspective we have to think about how we're going to provide the platform for that software as a service solution. So we have a couple of things we're thinking about there. One is we're also interested in Amazon web services. They've got some pretty interesting innovations there.
>> The elastic compute cloud.
>> Exactly. The elastic compute cloud and simple storage solution. Those things look pretty interesting to us and so we're just in the very beginning stages of some experiments there to see what that means.
