With the continued growth of consumer data from desktops, laptops, and of course, mobile devices, the need and demand for quality cloud backup will always be there, and IDrive will be there to help those customers. How do you see the cloud storage sector changing in the next five to 10 years? We have just launched a phase one product for the same with 20 locations, called IDriveCompute. This computing platform will leverage the work we are already doing for our remote access and backup services. In addition, we also aim to provide an edge computing platform for developers and businesses, with hundreds of locations across the globe able to serve the cutting edge applications that require low latency and high performance. We want to continue to focus on our core products. We just recently launched ZipDrive, a personal cloud platform that uses the user's own computer for resources. We continue to focus on our core products, IDrive and RemotePC, both key players in the remote work and hybrid workplace. Are you taking advantage of the new world of blended and remote working? If so, how? Remote work will be a key component for almost every business. There are software and infrastructure tweaks needed that fit the work-from-home system better. So it is a race against time to meet the demands for consumers and businesses. With more opportunities in the remote work space, more of the big players got into the space with bigger resources. What new market challenges and opportunities have you seen emerge? More people working from home has reduced the need for backing up office computers. This resulted in a multi-fold increase in remote access service needs, and the need for backing up critical data that is now residing on home computers and devices. The biggest positive is the global move to working from home. What impacts - both positive and negative - has the pandemic had on your business? But with a razor-sharp focus on what consumers and businesses need in our specific segment, we have been able to innovate more, and offer better value, in comparison to the big players. It is not easy to out-innovate and out-value them. The biggest challenge in the cloud is always the big players: Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. What have been the biggest challenges, and how did you tackle them?
