Hey everybody, Ethan Sloan with SanDisk. We're going to talk a little bit about SanDisk DDN powering the next generation of AI and HBC. Nobody's talked AI here, so this will be the first one, right.Obviously, a little bit about me. So, at SanDisk, enterprise solid state drive representation, helping to fuel the uh the channel. So the goal today is to answer questions with regards to who, what, where, why, when, and how.The who part is who am I. Ethan just introduced myself. Let's get into the what.Right. So ...
