    Answer

    CEO Todd Nightingale responded that strong sales execution is a critical factor. He believes the current competitive landscape supports a healthier market with mid-teens price declines, which would provide a tailwind for both gross margin and revenue. He affirmed that his team is actively pushing the market in that direction.

    Paramveer Singh's questions to NetApp Inc (NTAP) leadership • Q3 2025

    Question

    Paramveer Singh asked for more detail on the deal push-outs, specifically whether they were competitive displacement opportunities or refreshes of NetApp's existing footprint, and about the general sales mix.

    Answer

    CEO George Kurian responded that the pushed deals did not follow any specific pattern of competitive vs. refresh, but were instead tied to customer procurement lifecycle issues that are now being addressed with greater scrutiny. He reiterated that with all-flash penetration at only 43%, a 'preponderant part' of the flash business is necessarily from winning net new footprints or logos, not just refreshing the installed base.

    Paramveer Singh's questions to Pure Storage Inc (PSTG) leadership

    Paramveer Singh's questions to Pure Storage Inc (PSTG) leadership • Q3 2025

    Question

    Paramveer Singh asked about the Evergreen//One opportunity, questioning if customers might be more inclined to move workloads directly to a hyperscaler using Pure's technology, rather than opting for an Evergreen//One on-premise sale.

    Answer

    CEO Charles Giancarlo stated this is unlikely, as the hyperscaler deal provides foundational storage technology, not the end-user storage services that enterprises consume. He explained that enterprise decisions on application placement (on-prem vs. cloud) are separate from the underlying storage hardware. He noted that Pure Fusion actually brings cloud-like operating models to the enterprise, unifying on-prem and cloud storage, which is a complementary, not conflicting, motion.
