Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to an annual impairment test. There was no impairment of goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets as a result of the annual impairment test analysis completed during the fourth quarter of 2012. There were no indicators of impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2013. In-process R&D acquired in connection with the Company's acquisitions was not material. See Note 4 for more information regarding the Company's acquisitions and Note 9 for more information regarding the Company's segments.

Intangible Assets

The Company has intangible assets with finite lives that are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years, except for patents, which are amortized over the lesser of their remaining life or ten years. Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):



	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Product related intangible assets	$	666,880	$	361,788	$	620,032	$	339,608
Other	468,667		183,070		446,601		170,820
Total	$	1,135,547	$	544,858	$	1,066,633	$	510,428

Amortization of product related intangible assets, which consists primarily of product-related technologies and patents, was $24.7 million and $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is classified as a component of Cost of net revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Amortization of other intangible assets, which consist primarily of customer relationships, trade names and covenants not to compete was $10.4 million and $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is classified as a component of Operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company monitors its intangible assets for indicators of impairment. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, it will write-down the intangible asset to its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, Amortization of other intangible assets included a $5.2 million impairment related to the Company's decision to contribute its CloudStack tradename acquired in conjunction with its acquisition of Cloud.com to the Apache Software Foundation. As a result, the carrying value of the CloudStack tradename was written down to zero. See Note 4 for more information regarding the Company's acquisitions.

Estimated future amortization expense is as follows (in thousands):



Year ending December 31,
2013	$	138,732
2014	129,907
2015	107,896
