Our gross margin performance demonstrates the strength of our competitive position in the market, helping us to achieve healthy operating results and earnings per share.
Outlook
NetApp estimates revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 to be in the range of $1.500 billion to $1.600 billion, which equates to approximately 3% to 10% sequential revenue growth and approximately 20% to 28% year-over-year revenue growth.
