"The second quarter of 2015 marks the third data point of double digit revenue growth and as such begins to establish the trend line that I have referenced in prior quarters.   At $60.6 million, we achieved strong year over year non-GAAP revenue growth of 25%," stated Dana Kammersgard, president and CEO, Dot Hill Systems.

The Company exited the second quarter of 2015 with cash and cash equivalents of $49.1 million. This compares to $46.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2015, and $42.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2014.

Guidance:
