Strength In All-Flash Storage  

In addition to its big push into the public cloud, NetApp is continuing to grow its hybrid cloud segment via improvements in its object storage technology targeting growing unstructured data and analytics use cases, Kurian said.

NetApp is also going all out on the all-flash storage array business, he said. During its second fiscal quarter, NetApp’s all-flash array business reached a record high annualized run rate of $3.1 billion, which was up 22 percent year on year, Kurian said.

“All-flash arrays now compose 30 percent of our installed base systems,” he said. “We see substantial headroom to continue to help existing and new customers modernize their storage environments. Based on our continued strong revenue growth, I am confident that we once again gained share in the enterprise storage and all-flash array markets.”
