selling think core security own the to think IT to really as point into about of kind that you security about relates when their managing about market you -- end when And security it who's we relates necessarily environment. buyer, and about not infrastructure, that IT access, think

here think market, we is about we are more, infrastructure security as that that really related. a really thinking about is So

vulnerability of about -- -- a access drawing talking now is not areas that's management, whether blank. management So whether like that I'm I'm

and I'm with about minute more to, those are of -- I'm what those buyer. technologies controlling and about, technology, like associated single who remember because not in related our to talking current I'll really sign-on talking kinds But areas a has access of directly those we

to their as customers. a MSP On Because business, security of the broad little to a much is different. need. MSPs need suite of technology side of to bit businesses provide end offerings The small get service the desire the very of the they

service, body-based a say product when a from a service at They able services. service, to that need they look single UI mean vendor. I can, can. they that as delivery technology And through as to the And not much single technology extent all I as of of that be

broader slightly a about to likely think So in MSP business, in security way. the we're

management, an security. So we simply have password This businesses it's And a backup if space. small something -- big. added continuity don't think part that you because offering of backup provide need we about like in We an issue. as too

know but I you things of of don't looking of that some -- strong a might your too the be when you're about word, what One in EMEA. some around future the -- you're talking mentioned at the guidance caution

despite also And you of things, a mentioned acceleration I'm just in mentioned July. bunch curious the you and

bit that. more expand on you could And little just if I a wonder

year that accelerated. the XXXX, growth seems you I in the for is off the slower half, like me think, could of on-premise looking view had a which And by strong year. a very industry was we coming there on results see this it first at IT,

to maintenance So half sort of and see the Kevin, license you sustain unpack causing I factors year. that you first this of could you that's growth impressive of wondering in was just sort the really if this

Kevin Thompson

Yes.

been think good a done we've couple and I about think So all Sanjit we talking have I it. of a of executing there's that job factors of

control. First, at there's IT deployed being in of technology still environments I being my comments deployed, that mentioned new pros lot a deployed, in still technology

those that's hosted centers, to IT private manage behind-the-firewall, data pros So have whether technologies. centers, data

We've products. to other technology of in the not them done problem in ability most And to I done make have by yesterday. see has effectively at we've those thing solve We've think that We've the continued the that environments to manage to space well. players invest continued only really they investment our give in more our continued large And they than market to customers them the us. the them better. solve this

that's to that don't see soon they are committed away those manage market. look continue environments to we're provide anytime a going environments them at technologies those to difference And And because we ever. if when believe the big you

level else's the than doing doing Our are think anyone better on telling of side marketing investment with simply people, we're the great and And job I is our products higher. then we're those great things of products.

there's So quickly we're is and to of have taking share And share one we at pretty continue no one the has investing take invested. products breadth we'll now. that right no think pretty that we've the because I level quickly

infrastructure is that ago, this are public the their of in is and I customers can't is public because, two or with of mentioned went a I four sits which we've want now of in who their And to infrastructure public exact we we these the products that on-premise. cloud hard calls world. know the remember the number got three, relevant our maybe level very -- even cloud also of through product The since same have visibility kind same think in as now we've sits I that to other believe factor done

but use a manage customers they not performance. cloud, the a have of view of have the so to of our only number they to sitting the environment customers can -- they one assets the expanded expanded control directly, in have see of in public our manage consolidated UI products So also through our their

don't them that of more larger are as they they buy to back having manage And cumulative so, do enough and capacity that, us environment. licenses many from come now have because to

grow as continue I And we'll that see forward. trend move think we to

that cloud being we've products the also. that things products our have that just also because the our ability it's are application done, public manage Like not they cloud, those two So do it's to those used are that to management, management on-premise that's us faster public continue that the a allowed pace about our of or part four very to than grow grow our good at to nice high kind times five to what continue business. we pace that at pretty of to ability a And single-digit in feel market. --

Kevin Thompson

Yes. Sure.

If to at is Heather what look kind manage would a to try companies market that activity. using the minimum at I of helpdesk have say something they're most opportunity you

the that So with they resolve ticket they a then somebody ticket submit and something ticket, they that do address. the you go they next that to ticket issue to up, picks on need

have done things. companies most So some

tickets a people basic tracking still helpdesk or I not whether spreadsheet it really got or software they've spreadsheets. deploy that's use So that to piece they're believe a believe some those -- of whether that's on-premise some on

that mid-market as something They're the desk. activity. kind helpdesk to up most true through something you kind the try basic business high service them so using the small that using of have than X,XXX, I'd of manage more define when But companies X,XXX to of look at employees of are end

complexity deal those a afford afford take define I handle take that helpdesk complexity really and we only we're able and all be able being So the opportunity Greenfield to to because from companies because to complexity away to be service as the through want primarily to of going the with to able desk.

are So a the of I there than think else. opportunity in anything companies any more really that today X% of Greenfield out it's

few even using they're stuff a -- enterprise ITSM. they there few something there's consider large there the a some -- say there In a old But there it anymore. good out bunch ITSM that and very really differently to really of isn't would I'll out products good there's be good are

network focus a I than to there XXXX. I in our when So got because think think just here maybe products But we when forward an is for initially SolarWinds our bit like to products some opportunity going is first is be got management little replacement. better fast I

we systems a the very fast you of in products opportunity and quickly of SMB. the market, advantage management can management the forward most take of And saw that on mid-market set we that the the problems. we assuming great network services have biggest But set solves in really broad and a XXXX-XXXX was

we're if them lot and offer win while going aim we're at because a We'll going look the the it. at us it at So trust we some right really companies it are SMB or large our of mid-market customers to to now.

mid-market focus right So be Greenfield where our mainly SMB it's will and primary now.

work do events that that a the surface real actually had so we're them. customer was to bring So to UI the the we to seeing the around work do can see

we product case made was kind than so a of that And it's before. more much so it broad use

other to easy compared easy to use really relatively it's to product. any SIM So use

I any product and marketplace. very won't priced to SIM competitors say it's it's the a use at easiest to use other fraction to product that own, we compared easy the the of but in

issue a cost. is capture you you it address data to do you So the and quickly information do that do to security really what good strong what the happens, to tell in a need log it tell basic low very really event and
