David Hitz, James Lau, and Michael Malcolm founded the company in 1992 around a purpose-built file server, and ONTAP became the operating system that made network-attached storage ordinary in enterprises. The strategic shift of the last decade has been hybrid cloud: running the same data services on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud as in customer datacenters, sold as first-party services by those providers.

- RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

NetApp equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge NTAP stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and NTAP's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current NTAP option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does NetApp grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at NetApp typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do NetApp RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. NetApp restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
