Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies NetApp, Inc. (we, us, NetApp, or the Company) makes data infrastructure intelligent by combining unified data storage, integrated data services, and CloudOps solutions. NetApp creates silo-free infrastructure, harnessing observability and artificial intelligence to enable seamless data management. We provide a full range of enterprise-class software, systems and services that customers use to transform their data infrastructures across data types, workloads, and environments to realize business possibilities. Basis of Presentation and Preparation Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023, ending on April 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each quarter. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of January 26, 2024. |

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our income tax disclosures. Although there are other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB that we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operating results, cash flows or disclosures. |

Business Combinations | 3. Business Combination Fiscal 2023 Acquisition Instaclustr Acquisition On May 20, 2022, we acquired all the outstanding shares of privately-held Instaclustr US Holding, Inc. (Instaclustr) for approximately $ 498 million. Instaclustr is a leading platform provider of fully managed open-source database, pipeline and workflow applications delivered as-a-service. The acquisition-date values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in millions): Amount Cash $ 4 Intangible assets 107 Goodwill 413 Other assets 19 Total assets acquired 543 Liabilities assumed ( 45 ) Total purchase price $ 498 The components of the intangible assets acquired were as follows (in millions, except useful life): Amount Estimated useful life Developed technology $ 55 5 Customer contracts/relationships 50 5 Trade name 2 3 Total intangible assets $ 107 The acquired net assets and assumed debt of Instaclustr were recorded at their estimated values. We determined the estimated values with the assistance of valuations and appraisals performed by third party specialists and estimates made by management. We expect to realize revenue synergies and anticipate opportunities for growth through the ability to leverage additional future products and capabilities. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated value of their identifiable net assets acquired, and as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations related to the acquisition of Instaclustr have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the impact from the acquisition was not material to our consolidated results of operations. |

Deferred services revenue represents customer payments made in advance for services, which include software and hardware support contracts, certain public cloud services and other services. Financed unearned services revenue represents undelivered services for which cash has been received under certain third-party financing arrangements. See Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information related to these arrangements. During the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, we recognized revenue of $ 1,725 million and $ 1,751 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods. As of January 26, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied approximated our deferred revenue and unearned services revenue balance. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue approximately 51 % of our deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance in the next 12 months, approximately 24 % in the next 13 to 24 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | 6. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively. Investments The following is a summary of our investments at their cost or amortized cost as of January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023 (in millions): January 26, April 28, U.S. Treasury and government debt securities 1,097 754 Money market funds 728 794 Certificates of deposit 42 59 Mutual funds 38 36 Total debt and equity securities $ 1,905 $ 1,643 The fair value of our investments approximates their cost or amortized cost for both periods presented. Investments in mutual funds relate to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to certain employees. As of January 26, 2024, all our debt investments are due to mature in one year or less.

These pricing providers utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. We review Level 2 inputs and fair value for reasonableness and the values may be further validated by comparison to multiple independent pricing sources. In addition, we review third-party pricing provider models, key inputs and assumptions and understand the pricing processes at our third-party providers in determining the overall reasonableness of the fair value of our Level 2 debt instruments. As of January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, we have not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from our third-party pricing providers. Fair Value of Debt As of January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, the fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $ 2,228 million and $ 2,206 million, respectively. The fair value of our long-term debt was based on observable market prices in a less active market. |

Interest on each of these Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in June and December. Our 3.30 % Senior Notes, with a principal amount of $ 400 million, were issued in September 2017 with interest paid semi-annually in March and September. Our Senior Notes, which are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part, at any time at our option at specified redemption prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The Senior Notes also include covenants that limit our ability to incur debt secured by liens on assets or on shares of stock or indebtedness of our subsidiaries; to engage in certain sale and lease-back transactions; and to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. As of January 26, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes. As of January 26, 2024, our aggregate future principal debt maturities are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Amount 2024 (remainder) $ — 2025 400 2026 750 2027 — 2028 550 Thereafter 700 Total $ 2,400 Commercial Paper Program and Credit Facility We have a commercial paper program (the “Program”), under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Amounts available under the Program, as amended in July 2017, may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $ 1.0 billion. The maturities of the notes can vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and may be issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, may be sold at par and bear interest at rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from the issuance of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. There were no commercial paper notes outstanding as of January 26, 2024 or April 28, 2023. In connection with the Program, we have a senior unsecured credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders. The credit agreement, which was amended in May 2023 primarily to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the basis for establishing the interest rate applicable to certain borrowings under the agreement, provides for a $ 1.0 billion revolving unsecured credit facility, with a sublimit of $ 50 million available for the issuance of letters of credit on our behalf. The credit facility matures on January 22, 2026 , with an option for us to extend the maturity date for two additional 1 -year periods, subject to certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used by us for general corporate purposes and as liquidity support for our existing commercial paper program. As of January 26, 2024, we were compliant with all associated covenants in the agreement. No amounts were drawn against this credit facility during any of the periods presented. |

Leases | 8. Leases We lease real estate, equipment and automobiles in the U.S. and internationally. Our real estate leases, which are responsible for the majority of our aggregate ROU asset and liability balances, include leases for office space, data centers and other facilities, and as of January 26, 2024, have remaining lease terms not exceeding 19 years. Some of these leases contain options that allow us to extend or terminate the lease agreement. Our equipment leases are primarily for servers and networking equipment and as of January 26, 2024, have remaining lease terms not exceeding 4 years. As of January 26, 2024, our automobile leases have remaining lease terms not exceeding 4 years. All our leases are classified as operating leases except for certain immaterial equipment finance leases.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | 9. Stockholders’ Equity Restricted Stock Units We granted approximately 5 million restricted stock units (RSUs), including performance-based RSUs (PBRSUs), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $ 75.27 per share during the nine months ended January 26, 2024. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, due to an insufficient number of remaining shares available for issuance under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan), most of the awards granted in that period were subject to cash settlement upon vesting, and accounted for as liability awards. However, in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, stockholders approved an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan, and these awards, by their terms, automatically became share-settled, equity-classified awards. The modification resulted in the elimination of the $ 4 million liability related to these awards, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, as presented on the Statements of Stockholders' Equity for the nine months ended January 26, 2024. In the nine months ended January 26, 2024, we granted PBRSUs to certain of our executives. Each PBRSU has performance-based vesting criteria (in addition to the service-based vesting criteria) such that the PBRSUs cliff-vest at the end of a three year performance period, which began on the date specified in the grant agreements and typically ends on the last day of the third fiscal year, following the grant date. The number of shares that will be used to calculate the settlement amount for all of these PBRSUs at the end of the applicable performance and service period will range from 0 % to 200 % of a target number of shares originally granted. For half of the PBRSUs granted in the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon our Total Stockholder Return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of a specified group of benchmark peer companies (each expressed as a growth rate percentage) calculated as of the end of the performance period. For the remaining half of the PBRSUs granted in the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon the Company's billings result average over the three-year performance period. The billings result average is computed based on achievement against annual billings targets, with each target set at the beginning of the respective fiscal year, during the three-year performance period. Billings for purposes of measuring the performance of these PBRSUs means the total obtained by adding net revenues as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income to the amount reported as the change in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable measurement period, excluding the impact of f luctuations in foreign currency exchange rates . The aggregate grant date fair value of PBRSUs effectively granted in the current year was $ 39 million, which is being recognized to compensation expense over the remaining performance / service periods . Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock-based compensation expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended January 26, January 27, January 26, January 27, Cost of product revenues $ 2 $ 2 $ 4 $ 4 Cost of services revenues 5 6 17 14 Sales and marketing 36 40 109 103 Research and development 32 32 99 82 General and administrative 14 13 40 35 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 89 $ 93 $ 269 $ 238 As of January 26, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to equity awards was $ 653 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average remaining service period of 2.1 years. Stock Repurchase Program As of January 26, 2024, our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $ 16.1 billion of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares of our outstanding common stock through solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated share repurchase programs, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in such other manner as deemed appropriate by our management. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The following table summarizes activity related to the stock repurchase program for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 (in millions, except for per share amounts): Number of shares repurchased 11 Average price per share $ 76.03 Stock repurchases allocated to additional paid-in capital $ 96 Stock repurchases allocated to retained earnings $ 704 Remaining authorization at end of period $ 602 Since the May 13, 2003 inception of our stock repurchase program through January 26, 2024, we repurchased a total of 371 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $ 41.89 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 15.5 billion.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | 10. Derivatives and Hedging Activities We use derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency risk. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The maximum length of time over which forecasted foreign currency denominated revenues are hedged is 12 months. The program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. Our derivatives expose us to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet their obligations under the terms of our agreements. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. We also have in place master netting arrangements to mitigate the credit risk of our counterparties and to potentially reduce our losses due to counterparty nonperformance. We present our derivative instruments as net amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross and net fair value amounts of such instruments were not material as of January 26, 2024 or April 28, 2023. All contracts have a maturity of less than 12 months. The notional amount of our outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent foreign currency exchange forward contracts consisted of the following (in millions): January 26, April 28, Cash Flow Hedges Forward contracts purchased $ 115 $ 95 Balance Sheet Contracts Forward contracts sold $ 747 $ 965 Forward contracts purchased $ 38 $ 96 The gain (loss) of cash flow hedges recognized in net revenues is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges | 11. Restructuring Charges In each of the first and third quarters of fiscal 2024, management approved a restructuring plan to redirect resources to highest return activities and reduce costs. Each plan included a global workforce reduction of approximately 1 % for which restructuring charges, comprised of employee severance related expenses, were recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The plan initiated during the first quarter also included optimization of our global office space for our hybrid work model. In connection with that plan, we terminated certain real estate leases in various countries during the first nine months of fiscal 2024, resulting in restructuring charges primarily comprised of lease termination charges. The activities under these plans are expected to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2024. In the first nine months of fiscal 2023, we executed, or continued to execute, restructuring plans to redirect resources to highest return activities, reduce costs and establish our international headquarters in Cork, Ireland. These plans collectively reduced our global workforce by approximately 9%, and resulted in restructuring charges comprised primarily of employee severance-related costs and legal and tax-related professional fees. Activities under these plans were substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2023. Activities related to our restructuring plans are summarized as follows (in millions): Nine Months Ended January 26, January 27, Balance at beginning of period $ 36 $ 3 Net charges 44 109 Cash payments ( 60 ) ( 22 ) Balance at end of period $ 20 $ 90 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes Our effective tax rates for the periods presented were as follows: Nine Months Ended January 26, January 27, Effective tax rates 21.3 % ( 36.8 )% Our effective tax rate reflects the impact of a significant amount of earnings being taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates below the United States (U.S.) statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 26, 2024 includes a benefit for fiscal 2024 foreign tax credits resulting from Internal Revenue Service Notice 2023-80, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation for which no tax benefit is recorded. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 27, 2023 was primarily driven by a discrete tax benefit of $ 524 million that resulted from an intra-entity asset transfer of certain intellectual property (“IP”) partially offset by a Danish Supreme Court decision resulting in $ 69 million of discrete tax expense. Additionally, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 27, 2023 includes the capitalization of research and development expenses partially offset by the discrete benefits related to stock-based compensation. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed an intra-entity asset transfer of certain IP to our international headquarters (the “IP Transfer”). The transaction resulted in a step-up of tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets, and accordingly, created a temporary difference where the tax basis exceeded the financial statement basis of such intangible assets, which resulted in the recognition of a discrete tax benefit and related deferred tax asset of $ 524 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Management applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the IP, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset. With the assistance of third-party valuation specialists, the fair value of the IP was determined principally based on the present value of projected cash flows related to the IP which reflects management’s assumptions regarding projected revenues, expenses and a discount rate. The tax-deductible amortization related to the transferred IP rights will be recognized in future periods and any amortization that is unused in a particular year can be carried forward indefinitely. The deferred tax asset and the tax benefit were measured based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years the asset is expected to be realized. We expect to realize the deferred tax asset resulting from the IP Transfer and will assess the realizability of the deferred tax asset quarterly. In September 2010, the Danish Tax Authorities issued a decision concluding that distributions declared in 2005 and 2006 by our Danish subsidiary were subject to Danish at-source dividend withholding tax. We did not believe that our Danish subsidiary was liable for such withholding tax and filed an appeal with the Danish Tax Tribunal, which issued a ruling in favor of NetApp in December 2011. However, following escalations within the Danish judicial system over the course of numerous years, on January 9, 2023, the Danish Supreme Court ruled the 2005 dividend was subject to withholding tax while the smaller 2006 distribution would not be subject to withholding tax. The Danish Supreme Court ruling on the distributions declared in 2005 and 2006 is non-appealable. During the third quarter ended January 27, 2023, we recorded $ 69 million of discrete tax expense, which includes $ 23 million of withholding tax and $ 46 million of interest, associated with the Danish Supreme Court ruling. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recently enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework known as Pillar Two. These rules have been agreed to by most OECD members. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of Pillar Two rules. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that they believe taxes imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. We will be subject to Pillar Two rules starting in our fiscal year 2025. We do not currently expect Pillar Two taxes to have a significant impact on our financial statements, particularly due to the safe harbor relief during the transition period, but we are still closely monitoring developments. Any OECD actions adopted internationally could impact our financial results in future periods. We are currently undergoing various income tax audits in the U.S. and audits in several foreign tax jurisdictions. Transfer pricing calculations are key topics under these audits and are often subject to dispute and appeals. We continue to monitor the progress of ongoing discussions with tax authorities and the impact, if any, of the expected expiration of the statute of limitations in various taxing jurisdictions. We engage in continuous discussion and negotiation with taxing authorities regarding tax matters in multiple jurisdictions. We believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude, certain statutes of limitations will lapse, or both. As a result of uncertainties regarding tax audits and their possible outcomes, an estimate of the range of possible impacts to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months cannot be made at this time. As of January 26, 2024, we had $ 225 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Inclusive of penalties, interest and certain income tax benefits, $ 152 million would affect our provision for income taxes if recognized.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information | 14. Segment, Geographic, and Significant Customer Information Our operations are organized into two segments: Hybrid Cloud and Public Cloud. The two segments are based on the information reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results and allocate resources. The CODM measures performance of each segment based on segment revenue and segment gross profit. We do not allocate to our segments certain cost of revenues which we manage at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. We do not allocate assets to our segments. Hybrid Cloud offers a portfolio of storage management and infrastructure solutions that help customers modernize their data centers with the power of the cloud and modernize applications with a single solution that supports file, block, and object storage. Hybrid Cloud is composed of software, hardware, and related support, as well as professional and other services. Public Cloud offers a portfolio of products delivered primarily as-a-service, including related support. This portfolio includes cloud storage and CloudOps services. Public Cloud includes certain reseller arrangements in which the timing of our consideration follows the end user consumption of the reseller services. Segment Revenues and Gross Profit Financial information by segment is as follows (in millions, except percentages): Three Months Ended January 26, 2024 Hybrid Cloud Public Cloud Consolidated Product revenues $ 747 $ — $ 747 Support revenues 631 — 631 Professional and other services revenues 77 — 77 Public cloud revenues — 151 151 Net revenues 1,455 151 1,606 Cost of product revenues 280 — 280 Cost of support revenues 49 — 49 Cost of professional and other services revenues 58 — 58 Cost of public cloud revenues — 52 52 Segment cost of revenues 387 52 439 Segment gross profit $ 1,068 $ 99 $ 1,167 Segment gross margin 73.4 % 65.6 % 72.7 % Unallocated cost of revenues 1 16 Total gross profit $ 1,151 Total gross margin 71.7 % 1 Unallocated cost of revenues are composed of $ 7 million of stock-based compensation expense and $ 9 million of amortization of intangible assets.

Prior year numbers have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Americas revenues consist of sales to Americas commercial and U.S. public sector markets. Sales to customers inside the U.S. were $ 744 million and $ 719 million during the three months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, respectively, and were $ 2,172 million and $ 2,275 million during the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 15. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Orders and Other Commitments In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers to manage manufacturer lead times and meet product forecasts, and to other parties, to purchase various key components used in the manufacture of our products. A significant portion of our reported purchase commitments arising from these agreements consist of firm, non-cancelable, and unconditional commitments. As of January 26, 2024, we had approximately $ 0.5 billion in non-cancelable purchase commitments for inventory. We record a liability for firm, non-cancelable and unconditional purchase commitments for quantities in excess of our future demand forecasts consistent with the valuation of our excess and obsolete inventory. As of January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, such liability amounted to $ 20 million and $ 15 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that such forecasts are not achieved, our commitments and associated accruals may change. In addition to inventory commitments with contract manufacturers and component suppliers, we have open purchase orders and contractual obligations associated with our ordinary course of business for which we have not yet received goods or services. As of January 26, 2024, we had approximately $ 0.3 billion in other purchase obligations. Financing Guarantees While most of our arrangements for sales include short-term payment terms, from time to time we provide long-term financing to creditworthy customers. We have generally sold receivables financed through these arrangements on a non-recourse basis to third party financing institutions within 10 days of the contracts’ dates of execution, and we classify the proceeds from these sales as cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We account for the sales of these receivables as “true sales” as defined in the accounting standards on transfers of financial assets, as we are considered to have surrendered control of these financing receivables. Provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize product revenues for these arrangements, net of any payment discounts from financing transactions, upon product acceptance. We sold $ 58 million and $ 32 million of receivables during the nine months ended January 26, 2024 and January 27, 2023, respectively. In addition, we enter into arrangements with leasing companies for the sale of our hardware systems products. These leasing companies, in turn, lease our products to end-users. The leasing companies generally have no recourse to us in the event of default by the end-user and we recognize revenue upon delivery to the end-user customer, if all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Some of the leasing arrangements described above have been financed on a recourse basis through third-party financing institutions. Under the terms of recourse leases, which are generally three years or less, we remain liable for the aggregate unpaid remaining lease payments to the third-party leasing companies in the event of end-user customer default. These arrangements are generally collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Where we provide a guarantee for recourse leases and collectability is probable, we account for these transactions as sales type leases. If collectability is not probable, the cash received is recorded as a deposit liability and revenue is deferred until the arrangement is deemed collectible. For leases that we are not a party to, other than providing recourse, we recognize revenue when control is transferred. As of January 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, the aggregate amount by which such contingencies exceeded the associated liabilities was not significant. To date, we have not experienced significant losses under our lease financing programs or other financing arrangements. We have entered into service contracts with certain of our end-user customers that are supported by third-party financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of our non-performance under the contract or our failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract or to pay the aggregate unpaid financing payments under such arrangements. As of January 26, 2024, we have not been required to make any payments under these arrangements, and we believe the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets or make payments under these arrangements is remote. The portion of the financial arrangement that represents unearned services revenue is included in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue in our condensed consolidated balance sheets . Legal Contingencies When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. However, the likelihood of a loss with respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate resolution of the contingency. We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We may, from time to time, receive claims that we are infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights, including claims for alleged patent infringement brought by non-practicing entities. We are currently involved in patent litigations brought by non-practicing entities and other third parties. We believe we have strong arguments that our products do not infringe and/or the asserted patents are invalid, and we intend to vigorously defend against the plaintiffs’ claims. However, there is no guarantee that we will prevail at trial and if a jury were to find that our products infringe, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, and may cause product shipment delays or stoppages, require us to redesign our products, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include significant monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and overall trends . No material accrual has been recorded as of January 26, 2024 related to such matters. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Preparation | Basis of Presentation and Preparation Our fiscal year is reported on a 52- or 53-week year ending on the last Friday in April. An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter approximately every six years to realign fiscal months with calendar months. Fiscal years 2024 and 2023, ending on April 26, 2024 and April 28, 2023, respectively, are each 52-week years, with 13 weeks in each quarter. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the interim periods presented. The statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended April 28, 2023 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, reserves and allowances; inventory valuation; valuation of goodwill and intangibles; restructuring reserves; employee benefit accruals; stock-based compensation; loss contingencies; investment impairments; income taxes and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, the anticipated effects of which have been incorporated, as applicable, into management's estimates as of January 26, 2024. |

Vesting period, description | For the remaining half of the PBRSUs granted in the nine months ended January 26, 2024, the number of shares used to calculate the settlement amount will depend upon the Company's billings result average over the three-year performance period. The billings result average is computed based on achievement against annual billings targets, with each target set at the beginning of the respective fiscal year, during the three-year performance period. Billings for purposes of measuring the performance of these PBRSUs means the total obtained by adding net revenues as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income to the amount reported as the change in deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable measurement period, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. | |||||
