"Employee enthusiasm for the legendary egalitarian culture helped catapult NetApp to No. 1 after six years on our list." 1

- Fortune Magazine2, in February 2009.

"We have long been committed to building our corporate culture and sustaining it over the years. Our success is not just attributable to the amount of solutions sold but to the people behind them, those who come up with the innovative ideas and produce and deliver the products and those who help our customers espouse the value promised." 3

- Simon Green, General Manager, NetApp, Asia Pacific, in 2009.
