any just either. noise. don't big downside gets really the upside s. we mixed big there's think I see never into -- We saw it So, any don't

for big How government you? typically is

why This we one it cloud direct. see No, customers, but of our going this case, through this don't wasn't in through going us. was which is

Cloud really It's government. not It's Titan.

I good vertical. in sounds but past. about government don't you've like I Yeah. it general it the that in -- a No, know because guess talked

No, for haven't. in year-over-year, better. do kind but go. we long of We our big concentration has enterprise but or us, government we -- a any I way large lot It are could not a to a it's momentum. improved into is contribution of mixed terms

Next question.

Simon. Thanks,

question Liani of with comes the Tal line next from America. Your of Bank

it Hi asking guys. without I'm to question directly. a trying ask

in over and the what's your win big Are a anything for for looking the takes, the Is that quarters? any can you is this looking next with few outlook us And Cloud you're big about what could the trick with of share pipeline Titans with Cloud Titans? one or there -- puts the announcements I Titans. have for? big happen Thanks. wins Cloud So, is, there question

good. you're well results happy say the Segregation doing been so I customers. Look, with and very far, our upside there's expected. thought more has we're with you'd

it the our behalf. more the our especially internally, this complexity. so of We're know moving them. as Titans, obviously very next that no, in each big otherwise, products, supply customers There's aspect Cloud both them key making or well despite that, well. of that market. you big There's quo competitive and many hardware grow and our on we that's before big the their to on You market, We much about it's [Indiscernible] with a I so architecture don't of is of status dramatic as there's maintaining do If software. make and a anything But that with and grew, terms can't customers. focus these But on with a think we control entities. that be mentioned design, last And there's big no will achieved one milestones U.S. as while think change. are no to There shift. we're be over or can done announcement here. country need

Titans results? this it Can also to the -- understand squeeze how another not overall growth? you one, Can I about is quarter if it you to of and okay. important talk last it's can I'm -- Cloud terms, in quarter trying in -- important if to if I contribution is how the -- relative

it's bracketed Tal. -- But we So, the said XX was from to annual we Cloud staying decided rather quarterly, within it to believe That's than targets go it. we Titans we the XX, annually to contribution XX% XX%. I gave.

the to What much about the much growth? it than growth? of higher the of proportionately XX% Is the how Meaning, growth? XX%

don't we on comment No, --

contribution cloud important. and more on by the do look and to is want basis. is it I cloud quarter-over-quarter a try our important. growth quarter to think The becoming Enterprise quarter. hard we at But on pretty don't that most to It's

shipments. - Brennan: think A because Ita, make annually, Right. Ita I still by constrained more Yeah, it sense will we're

It if was or medium. false signal high, would be a said you it low,

number basis, much I annual and definitely growth the better be think it's be double-digits. an It'll will good. a on

X mix. the vertical number the not it's sure. that for part of Still When think and important it's of no, an you important

Tal. you, Thank

I think next the ready we are for question.

Thank you.

Stifel. with Your from comes question Marchetti of the John line next

if seemed bullish what you little early we part seem you year about that back I could a was were ed market. the just on go wondering that or two and last to brakes minute a little like bit bit the there. the of expectations; bit specifically Obviously, talking are pumping seeing little in spend more XXX-gig you a to it quarter, we change a seemed just

be would but curious it's a anything spend if still you time, I'm assuming Just market, that just little a could you're bit of Cloud Titan seeing and primarily there helpful.

Titans. more Well, than Cloud it’s actually

XXX when about Portfolio been products. whole I talked think since and the Arista Andy we if has and XXXX, XXX-gig trialing I remember, here was QX

a XX we to see increase. not XXX,XXX,XXX, expect -- significant combination of this So, XX --

Titans. to we Just had the triple customers last Cloud we you to to year XX expect and context that year this way give than in That's about quadruple here, some customers. more

And next Research from comes Bohlen Cleveland line of Ben with your question Company. the

how XXX speed with XXX of saw with that see develops, it XXX for could versus you you about that the Good pace talked maybe you adoption. some think roll a and that they the taking talk of evolution perspective, what additional little getting bit from partners of next how year. as out, visibility in you question. or history terms Thank compares you afternoon. and about into how hyperscale Jayshree, even you With

Yeah.

really a that's good Now question.

like this I'm Right? pivot more Cloud and was think The very we year. And to to years least expect And finally hard customer with at it's Titan think inflection come, wrong,XXXX That's are see separate this base fast. of vibrant will this It why we XXX-gig and so remarkably something pace XXX-gig X XXX,XXX-gig XX-month think gradual. it's to many us more to Anshul? longer. adoption that. be if for And half XXX-gig our in out. the coupled use continue period, point or point 'XX, I at was Correct an will been I over in has where a I me XXX-gig. for in on probably second maybe shipments cases

You You want tail that, want to Anshul? -- is long to answer? there to a

XX-gig. that better I went much it's It same than compatible to It note important with power Well, cost no-brainer think -- was XXXX,XXXX,XXX-gig consumption as when -- world very the the XX-gig, was as in backward XXX-gig compatible the to XX-gig. same

Yeah. No-brainer.

XXXX,XXXX -- why are year optics adoption not well. and ones upgrade. XXX needed and is every they’re what that And Which this it's needed. layer of products that back involved cycles. in is These XXX-gig are absolutely last constrained like much were not going, why ever the cycles. year model earlier technologies at goes think, and I -- XXX-gig you they’re very come lot there the the winning And very that the material other new is using Which same. to, ZR different, well. different And the to next-gen on upgrade combined matters. and The would as data are XXX,XXX,XXX, as if a one were this Companies not for connections, network. which the I

that more capable, XXX-gig speeds you're deploy highest times timing. is getting for XXX-gig. product XXX,XXX know the on they'll the to how buy even What addition sidemen non-Cloud a but deploy them are customers on happening make ready I'd or independent they in like now only Titans they focused many that's is What's clearly sure make they'd on

That's you. Thank great.

Ben. Thanks,

question with Group. comes the next from Your Vertical of Lopez line Jon

I feature you quarter. that this and carry second sets? statement or guess in XX income any secondly, sequentially is or product another the you XXXX? of to much. component you million into this thanks very heard -- constraints or one, And there with flow QX, or it's you'll of XX into then do half product the is about you deferred you believe million by the do all questions year two stuff Ita, that I say ascribe Hey, I thought expect had that that in the so I said counter grew I so you

Yeah. related products. new stuff. to It's used if number. not cases, more new added really QX, other at that of in stuff. and mean then stuff it some what we customers, recognized new even about I was of you it, drives kind side that the -- new supply That's is It's look

happens out any expect script got out. kind the comments is of that churn QX, QX. stuff is I that’s as bucket a off revenue, in given I lots of happening. revenue take to further that think that what in net But build, underneath think new balance We'll So, we've don't that bit how like, But you I -- some if in balance. there us of see around the

think I depleting would that balance we it's unlikely this that be probably year.
