[edit] New LOGO

NetApp is on a re-branding drive and has changed its logo and tagline, as well as the company name from network appliance to netapp. The new logo is not uploaded anywhere. Can some one do it from [www.netapp.com here] ? I am not very sure of the licensing issues!! --Sandeep346 (talk) 10:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Somebody appears to have uploaded the new logo and changed the info box to use it. Guy Harris (talk) 22:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure if the logo is licensed to be here. NetApp site says we need to submit a form for the logo and that they will get back to us in 2days. Its been only 1day since the brand changed, there is no way anyone could have got it so soon, except maybe someone form the company. I think this has been copied from the site without permission. --Sandeep346 (talk) 04:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The uploader was User:Mmiho, who claims to be a NetApp employee. A bot has requested a fair-use rationale for the logo. Guy Harris (talk) 07:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
I think I know who that is. Checking within NetApp Titaniumlegs (talk) 15:13, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Mmiho is not only a NetApp employee, but works in MarCom, and posted the logo in that capacity. We're gonna ask legal to decide what copyright tag to use. In the meantime, whoever keeps deleting the logo, please stop. 198.95.226.224 (talk) 17:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
That last comment should have had my sig on it. Sorry. Titaniumlegs (talk) 04:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page Title

The name of the company has changed from Network Appliance to NetApp. Can someone change the title of the page!!! I don't know how to do it. --Sandeep346 (talk) 10:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Guy Harris (talk) 22:03, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Netcache and its uses

I really want to delete that section. It seems out of place. Frankly, who cares what Tunisia uses to censor its internet access? The fact that they censor it is an interesting fact for the Tunisia article, but there are any number of tools that they could be using to do it. It's not like NetApp as a company enabled them to do so or indicated that they approve of censorship or anything like that. It seems like a minor trivia fact that doesn't deserve to even be mentioned, let alone get its own section. Does anyone else agree? Plumpy 01:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't. What you care about is not necessarily what another user cares about. It is an interesting fact. Tazmaniacs 01:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm deleting it. If you have a reference to NetApp cooperating with governments to oppress people, do provide it. Mre5765 02:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
A source was already included. You simply deleted sourced content without previous consensus. Tazmaniacs 16:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
I concur. This is more about Tunisia than NetApp. If you're going to list Tunisia, how many other countries out there use NetCache to censor? China? The Sun lawsuit belongs here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Titaniumlegs (talk • contribs) 15:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose, this is an interesting fact. --Kubanczyk (talk) 22:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Employee Counts

The statistic in the infobox ("Employees 4631") doesn't match the article itself ("employs more than 4800 people"). What's with that? --Dirk Gently 14:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality / Commercialism in edits regarding certification

See the Microsoft Certified Professional talk page why this article is tagged. --ddezeure 14:35, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm a NetApp employee and I'm completely embarrassed by this section. It is gone. Mre5765 03:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm a former NetApp employee and nuked the link Firefighter Dog added when he added the other crapola, as it's just spam. Guy Harris 04:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What the heck is the logo?

Not a terribly important question, but I must know!! :P Anybody? Tarheelcoxn 23:56, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Imagine a square nut, drawn three-dimensionally, with a screw coming down into the nut from the upper right. I believe the intention is to connote simplicity. Others may see something else :-) --Stevestrange 03:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
It represents a few things. The first thing I saw was taking the disk out of the box. The first NetApp products were shared storage, so take the disks (other than the boot disk) out of all the other computers and put them in the shared storage. Of course, it's all different now.... 198.95.226.224 (talk) 17:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
