Thank you, Meir. We are pleased with our second quarter results, demonstrating steady improvement in our international business, with specific strength coming from Asia Pacific. We continue to execute well across the world and saw EMEA growing again in double digits. Having said that, we had several large projects in North America that's slipped to the third quarter. The majority of these orders were already received in July. Hence, we continue to feel confident about our ongoing growth in the Americas. Consistent with prior quarters, our overall growth is well balanced across enterprise customers and specifically in the financial, cloud service providers and carriers segments. Our focus on the data center markets for both application delivery and application security is paying off with these customers. We had several customer win announcements during the quarter, demonstrating the strength we have seen in these segments. Our biggest order came from a global cloud provider that shows our Attack Mitigation System to protect more than a dozen of its data centers around the world. Our Attack Mitigation solution with DefensePro at the core is becoming the gold standard for data center Attack Mitigation. This mean, replacing an incumbent with a strong evidence as there was a specific focus on detecting and protecting against large-scale and complex Distributed Denial of Service Attacks without impacting legitimate traffic to cloud tenants. We're also seeing more and more carriers and service providers, launching advanced services to their enterprise customers based on [indiscernible] solutions. M1, for example, is a leading full-service provider of mobile and fixed communication services to over 2 million customers in Singapore. They recently launched a clean pipe [ph] DDoS mitigation service for their enterprise and government customers based on our AMS solution. Our strength in this market has been amplified by continued innovation. As we discussed on our previous call, our innovation is focused on private and public cloud, fiber security and software-defined network architectures, where we see strong activity and interest from these type of customers, who are technology savvy and early adopters. Speaking on SDN, we're starting to see tangible projects in major customer accounts that are taking advantage of the SDN benefits we provide for application delivery and Attack Mitigation. We've also continued to advance our partnership in the space and at the recent Cisco live event. We demonstrated the integration of Radware application delivery controller and Attack Mitigation Solutions into Cisco application-centric infrastructure. During last quarter, we released a new study titled, State of the Union E-commerce Page Speed & Web Performance spring 2014. The study revealed that's why 75% of the top 100 retail websites, employ a content delivery network, the median home page take a full second longer to become interactive than the medium page that does not use a CDM.[ph] Simply put, there is more to acceleration than just using a CDM. [ph] This outcome demonstrates the importance of our FastView solution that allows our customers to significantly accelerate their dynamic content and web transactions. The solution is even more critical, when web delivery over a mobile network is required. Coupled with FastView, we provide our customers with our application performance monitoring module, that enable users to monitor end-to-end web application response time with the ability to drill down to the application, transaction and user location. We have received strong customer feedback on this comprehensive application performance monitoring and acceleration capabilities. And announced several wins last quarter, utilizing our best-in-class capabilities in this space. For example, JD Williams, a leading internet and catalog home shopping company, achieved a 25% reduction in page load times for its websites by deploying our FastView Solution. Faster response time means higher conversion rates. So JD Williams who has over 6 million customers and operate 28 brand websites over desktop, tablet and mobile devices. Another nice win come from Union Pay. Union pay has become the world's largest cloud brand with 3.5 billion cloud [ph] in circulation. They recently deployed Radware ADC and FastView and gained up to 3x faster response time for their website. To summarize, today we have a leadership position in the market as it relates to our product and solution offerings. We continue to advance our application delivery and security solution. We are starting to see faster growth coming from our international markets. Coupled with ongoing growth in the North America business and as evidenced by our guidance, we are confident in our ability to continue to grow in double digits rate for the remainder of the year. Before concluding, I would like to thank our customers and partners for their continued support and trust. And I would like to thank the hardware team for all their efforts, commitment and success in growing our business. With that, I would like to open the discussion for Q&A.
