Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Yes, sir. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator instructions) And our first question comes from Brian Freed with Morgan Keegan. Go ahead please.
Brian Freed – Morgan Keegan
Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my call. Great quarter on the dedupe side. As you look at the breakout of your disk and software, I know in the year-ago period there was still a fair amount of legacy ECL product in there. I know it's a little hard to break it apart, but as you look at the non-legacy, the dedupe product year-over-year, it looks like the growth rate was probably more like 160%, 170% year-over-year. Is that kind of ballpark correct?
Jon Gacek
You're right, we had fair amount of legacy product back, a year ago. And we didn't actually calculate it this way, but quickly, it's probably in the 150% range if you take the DXi product.
Brian Freed – Morgan Keegan
And within that segment are we now to the point where the legacy product is very diminutive as a percentage of – ?
Jon Gacek
It's de minimis.
Brian Freed – Morgan Keegan
Okay. And secondly, you mentioned that you got royalty revenue from EMC in the quarter. Would you describe that royalty revenue as material?
Jon Gacek
Let me see how to answer that. I would say that we were pleased with it. How about that? Brian, as you know from following us, we'll talk about EMC revenue in total once they become a 10% customer annually, so I don't want to give too much color on their products. But we were pleased with the uptick that they had and the one month they had in product and we were pleased with the result for us.
Brian Freed – Morgan Keegan
And you mentioned in terms of timing of the ship with the DXi7500, given that it's an enterprise product, I'm kind of – the assumption end up being that eval and approval cycles tend to be a little longer than the lower end product. Were you particularly impressed with how fast some of these were recognized? Was it due to the seed units out there? Or can you talk a little about what the sales cycles looks like in the quarter and how that bodes for the future?
Rick Belluzzo
Yes. We gave a few examples, I think both Rick and I did, different customers that purchased the product. I would say that because the enterprise product and the edge to core strategy is unique that sometimes makes sales cycle longer. It also makes implementation much larger, so the deals are just bigger. Let me turn over to Bill and let him add some more color.
