discreeters to hyperscalers, and most of our components there is being sourced from countries in Europe. So we were adversely impacted by this situation. So a couple of things that we implemented is that first we looked at alternative sources Given that historically all of our components were shipped from Europe, can we find alternative sources within Asia or Eastern, Eastern Europe? Second, can we assess the way it's being shipped? Can we look at sea versus air? Of course, air shipment would tend to be much more expensive.
