Thank you, and good afternoon, and welcome to Backblaze's first quarter of fiscal year 2022 earnings call. On the call with me today are Gleb Budman, co-founder, CEO, and chairperson of the board, and Frank Patchell, Chief Financial Officer. Today, Backblaze will discuss the financial results that were distributed earlier this afternoon. Statements on this call include forward-looking statements that include our future financial results, use of our IPO proceeds, results from new product and partner announcements, our ability to compete effectively, acquire new customers and retain and expand our business with existing customers, hire and retain key personnel, and effectively manage our growth. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. In particular, those described in our risk factors that are included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2021 and their other financial filings. You should not rely on our forward looking statements as predictions of future events. All forward looking statements that we make on this call are based on assumptions and beliefs as of today. and we undertake no obligation to update them except as required by law. Our discussion today will include non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our GAAP results. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results may be found in our earnings release, which was furnished with our Form 8 file today with the FCC. You can also find a slide presentation related to our comments in the webcast which will also be posted to our investor relations page after the call. Before I turn the call over to Gleb, I'd also like to mention that in the latter portion of our call, we will be addressing questions from non-institutional or retail investors that we gathered through the SAIT Technologies platform. We're also pleased to announce that Backblaze is planning to participate in the Stock Perks Program, which rewards individual shareholders who hold a minimum amount of shares for a specified period of time with exclusive gifts. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for additional details. I would now like to turn the call over to Gleb. Gleb?
