``This quarter Network Appliance executed our strategy of winning in enterprise accounts. We are being selected in significant business opportunities for NetApp® Center-to-Edge(TM) storage solutions with the leading Fortune Global 500 companies in the financial services, manufacturing, energy and telecommunications industries,'' said Dan Warmenhoven, CEO of Network Appliance. ``Looking forward, Network Appliance is solidly positioned to take increased advantage of the open systems storage market as it continues to transition to a network storage model.''

Quarterly Highlights

Network Appliance's successful focus on being a strategic storage systems supplier to the Fortune Global 500 was clearly demonstrated this quarter. Today, NetApp counts as customers: 9 of the top 10 energy companies, 10 of the top 10 telecommunications firms, 7 of the top 10 financial services companies, and 5 of the top 10 major manufacturing companies.

Key customers that selected Network Appliance include: Bechtel, Verizon, AT&T, KPNQwest, Ford Motor Company, Dana Corporation, Clorox, The Institute for Genomic Research, the National Institute of Health, the US Department of Energy, and General Electric.

Those Fortune Global 500 customers are demanding low total cost of ownership (TCO), in addition to low acquisition costs from their IP-based network storage IT infrastructure as they manage mission-critical midrange and high-end business applications.

In September, Network Appliance outlined its global data fabric strategy and launched new storage solutions for today's evolving data center. NetApp announced the F880 series filers, the company's first multiprocessor systems that extend the high end of the NetApp Center-to-Edge product line. The company also began shipping five new software upgrades, including SnapManager® for Microsoft® Exchange 2000, our first block access product for Windows 2000 environments.

The new software from Network Appliance is designed to ease the deployment and management of global data fabrics, including NetCache® 5.2, which delivers improved security and manageability in Windows 2000 environments. The Global Request Manager option in NetCache 5.2 further speeds access to content within a NetApp technology-powered content delivery network. Data Fabric(TM) Manager 1.1 software allows customers to view and centrally manage hundreds of terabytes of networked storage.

NetApp also shipped ContentDirector(TM) 2.0 and ContentReporter(TM) 3.0, content distribution management software that automates and simplifies the movement and management of streaming media, Web pages, and rich content files from centralized storage locations to access points around the world.

The company will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 13, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, to discuss its results. The conference call will be broadcast live via the Internet from the investor relations section of Network Appliance's Web site at www.netapp.com. The conference call will also be available live in a listen-only format at (800) 252-8304 in the United States, and (212) 346-7434 outside the United States. A replay will be available by dialing (800) 633-8284, replay code 19944445.

Pro forma results exclude the impact of in-process research and development, amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation expense, restructuring charges, write-down on equity investments and the related income tax effect.

Earnings per share represent the diluted number of shares for all periods presented.
