NetApp was founded by David Hitz, James Lau, and Michael Malcolm in 1992.
From the beginning the company focused on filers – a disk storage device which owns and controls a file system and presents files over a network. This is in contrast to the block storage offered by traditional major storage vendors.
In the data-storage devices industry, NetApp ranks second for market capitalization after EMC Corporation, and fourth for total revenue.
Today the company sells archiving and backup data storage to the IT, healthcare, energy, financial services, and government industries.
NetApp is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NTAP, is a member of the S&P 500, is #411 in the Fortune 500, is consistently ranked on Fortune’s Best Places to Work list, has 12,490 employees, and had $6.29 billion in revenue in 2013.
