    Network Appliance Announces Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2008

     SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2007--Network Appliance, Inc.
(NASDAQ:NTAP), the leader in advanced networked storage solutions, today
reported results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Revenues for the
second fiscal quarter were $792.2 million, an increase of 21% compared to
revenues of $652.5 million for the same period a year ago and an increase of 15%
compared to $689.2 million in the prior quarter.

     For the second fiscal quarter, GAAP net income was $83.8 million, or $0.23
per share(1) compared to GAAP net income of $86.9 million, or $0.22 per share
for the same period in the prior year. Non-GAAP(2) net income for the second
fiscal quarter was $116.4 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to non-GAAP net
income of $108.9 million, or $0.28 per share for the same period a year ago.

     Revenues for the first six months of the current fiscal year totaled $1.48
billion, compared to revenues of $1.27 billion for the first six months of the
prior year, an increase of 16% year over year.

     GAAP net income for the first six months of the current fiscal year totaled
$118.1 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $141.6
million, or $0.36 per share for the first six months of the prior fiscal year.
Non-GAAP net income for the first six months of the current fiscal year totaled
$192.4 million, or $0.52 per share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $205.4
million, or $0.53 per share for the first six months of the prior fiscal year.

     "The NetApp team delivered an outstanding quarter, with a combination of
high revenue growth and good expense management," said Dan Warmenhoven, chief
executive officer. "The revenue growth was driven by strength in U. S. Federal
and much of Europe and Asia, and largely offset the continued sluggishness in
U.S. enterprise spending. Our innovative solutions provide customers with higher
utilization, simpler operations, and reduced costs, and those advantages enable
us to continue to gain share in a more constrained spending environment."

     Outlook

     --   Network Appliance ("NetApp") expects revenue for the third quarter of
          fiscal year 2008 to be between $872 million and $883 million, with
          year-over-year growth of approximately 20% to 21% and sequential
          growth of approximately 10% to 12%.

     --   Including the effect of SFAS123(R) and with current information and
          assumptions, the company estimates that the third quarter fiscal year
          2008 GAAP earnings per share will be approximately $0.23 to $0.24 per
          share.

     --   Network Appliance expects third quarter fiscal year 2008 non-GAAP
          earnings per share to be approximately $0.33 to $0.34 per share.

     Quarterly Highlights

     During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, NetApp brought the market a
new storage system for Midsize Enterprise customers with the unveiling of the
NetApp(R) FAS2000 series. The new solutions with deployment and auditing
services are designed to help simplify data management and maximize IT
investments for customers and offer them the ability to accomplish more with
fewer resources. The architectural advantage of all NetApp storage systems, and
the new FAS2000 series in particular, allows customers to readily consolidate
direct-attached storage (DAS) into a single networked solution and scale on
demand.

     NetApp also introduced the new StoreVault(TM) S300, an all-in-one storage
solution for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), with features and
capabilities at a cost that had previously been unavailable to customers in this
market segment. The StoreVault S500 was named a winner of the "Editors' Best
Awards" in the storage category by Penton Media's Windows(R) IT Pro and was
honored as a "Best Solution" at the Government Technology Conference (GTC) East
2007.

     NetApp strengthened its relationship with VMware, underscoring the fact
that the value of server virtualization is dramatically increased with the
addition of networked storage on the back end. To make disaster recovery more
affordable, flexible, and simpler to manage for customers, NetApp integrated its
data protection portfolio of solutions with VMware(R) Site Recovery Manager.

     Also during the quarter, leveraging its experience delivering simplified
storage solutions for production grid environments, NetApp joined with Oracle on
the development of the Direct NFS Client, a significant innovation included in
Oracle(R) Database 11g(TM) that helps provide customers with improved
performance, simplified management, increased flexibility, and better
application availability.

     For channel partners, NetApp opened more service opportunities to NetApp
VIP Program partners with a new Installation Accreditation initiative, giving
partners the opportunity to sell NetApp installation services independently or
utilizing NetApp best practices. The company also received a 2007 Rising Star
award, presented by the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), which
recognizes the IT industry's fastest-growing manufacturers doing business with
GTDC member distributors. In addition, channel partners and readers of CMP
Technology's VARBusiness recognized NetApp for outstanding product innovation as
evidenced by the Annual Report Card (ARC) award program.

     From a market perspective, NetApp gained share in both the storage software
and hardware markets in the first half of 2007, as reported in IDC's Worldwide
Quarterly Storage Software Tracker Q2 2007(3) and Worldwide Quarterly Disk
Storage Systems Tracker Q2 2007(4).

     NetApp grew twice as fast as the overall storage software market from Q1'07
to Q2'07, and posted share gains across each submarket segment in which it
provides offerings. This marks the eighth consecutive quarter in which the
company outpaced the overall storage software market. IDC also found that in
that time period NetApp grew fastest among the top five storage replication
software vendors and that it currently holds the number two position. In
addition, NetApp continues to lead the iSCSI market in terms of revenue and
capacity, and gained both revenue and capacity share in the FC SAN market.
NetApp also continues to lead in its core market of NAS in terms of capacity.

     In industry news, NetApp joined the newly created Storage Networking
Industry Association (SNIA) Green Storage Initiative, dedicated to advancing
energy efficiency and conservation in storage technologies in an effort to
minimize the environmental impact of data storage operations.

     In corporate news, NetApp broke ground on an engineering lab facility
located at the NetApp technology center in Research Triangle Park (RTP) to
expand its engineering and development efforts in the region. Also, for the
fourth year in a row, NetApp earned top workplace honors from the Triangle
Business Journal, ranking as one of the top 15 "Best Places to Work" in RTP. The
company was also honored as a "Top Corporate Philanthropist in Silicon Valley"
by the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.

     As part of the company's continuing worldwide expansion and growth, NetApp
announced a strengthened commitment to the Asia Pacific (APAC) region with the
inauguration of a new Technical Support Center (TSC) in Dalian, China, and by
opening new manufacturing and logistics centers in Shanghai and Singapore,
respectively, furthering the ability of NetApp to serve more customers and
partners in the region.

     Network Appliance Usage of Non-GAAP Financials

     The Company refers to the non-GAAP financial measures cited above in making
operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding the Company's operational performance. These non-GAAP results of
operations exclude amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation
expenses, acquisition-related retention costs, gain on sale of investment,
restructuring charges/recoveries, prior acquisition-related costs, and the
related effects on income taxes as well as certain discrete GAAP provisions for
income tax matters recognized ratably for non-GAAP purposes. We have excluded
these items in order to enhance investors' understanding of our ongoing
operations. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures has material
limitations because they should not be used to evaluate our company without
reference to their corresponding GAAP financial measures. As such, we compensate
for these material limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures in
conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

     These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal
comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and comparisons to
competitors' operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures in
our earnings announcement because we believe they are useful to investors in
allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used
by management in its financial and operational decision making, such as employee
compensation planning. In addition, we have historically reported similar
non-GAAP financial measures to our investors and believe that the inclusion of
comparative numbers provides consistency in our financial reporting at this
time.
