NetApp is pleased with its performance in the NLANR bake-off and are sharing our results with customers and potential customers under NDA. We have decided not to publicly release our results at this time because of the late withdrawal from the bake-off by the other major caching vendors (Cisco and Inktomi). Network Appliance does not want to disclose detailed performance numbers to our competitors without having access to their results. Based on past experience we believe that competitors are likely to compare apples to oranges and selectively quote our results as it suits their requirements.

It's distressing internally for me at Willams, and personally depressing to see the "Theyre not, so we're not" spin.
