Going back, I was one of the founders with Charles Wang. In the last year my role has changed a little bit. I’m still very involved in strategy and that kind of thing but we’ve decided to set up an innovation centre in Long Island, New York right near our HQ.
The reason behind this is because our marketplace is changing very quickly. I believe the datacentre of today is going to change dramatically over next couple of years. It’s already started to change. I think that, more and more, customers are going to want more self-service, they are going to want to buy software as a service (SaaS), buy it in consumable amounts and pay as they go.
