“NetApp delivered 30% revenue growth, 38% growth in cash from operations … during fiscal 2011. We achieved the largest market share gains in our history and closed a record number of million dollar deals,” NetApp CEO Tom Georgens said in a statement.
The storage vendor estimates revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to be approximately $1.5 billion, plus or minus 3%, which equates to approximately 2% to 8% sequential revenue growth and approximately 26% to 34% year over year revenue growth.
During the fourth quarter, NetApp entered into a $480 million definitive agreement to purchase the Engenio external storage systems business from LSI Corp.
Engenio would give NetApp a foothold in emerging and fast-growing market segments such as video, including full-motion video capture and digital video surveillance.
