This is Q1 2016 numbers
It is always hard to compare numbers across vendors that have different fiscal years. The hockey stick always applies to every IT company. Q4 always was and probably always will be the highest revenue number. This being said this was NetApps Q4 and mainly all others Q1. As said it is always hard to compare cause you will never find a common basis but comparing ones best (NTAP) against all others worst doesn't seem to be a fair comparison. Will be interesting to see the Q4 numbers where NetApps Q3 and all others Q4 will be compared. An average or trend line would be best to have.
