An increase in product revenues of 46.1% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 drove the overall increase in total revenues. The increase was attributable to broad-based demand across all of our major geographies and verticals, and the significant growth in our customer base.

Our network rightsizing and MOVE architecture initiatives continue to gain momentum as companies move toward a new access network. The rapid proliferation of Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices, the increase in demand for multimedia-rich mobility applications, and the rise of both server and desktop virtualization is driving this trend.Professional services and support revenues increased 31.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This increase is a result of both increased product and first year support sales, and the renewal of support contracts by existing customers as our customer base continues to grow.
