We recently spent some time with the Dell PowerProtect Appliance, posting an in-depth review that illustrates the operational simplicity often overlooked when securing mission-critical data. Dell put a lot of thought into ensuring simplicity in the setup, configuration, and management of the PowerProtect Appliance. The intuitive interface walks a user through the entire process, from installation to data protection.

Brian went to Hopkinson to get an up-close introduction to the new PowerProtect Appliance and was duly impressed with the design and the software that powers the appliance. As a follow-up, Brian invited David Noy, the Vice President of Product Management at Dell Technologies, to join him for a podcast and find out what went into the design and where the product is headed in the future. The discussion gives us a better understanding of this seamlessly integrated appliance that can be up and running in just 15 minutes, ensuring data protection from the start.
David has been with Dell Technologies since 2021, but this was an encore, having worked with Dell EMC between 2012 and 2017. His background covers data protection and storage, so this was a perfect fit. David spent time with Cohesity and Veritas in a previous life, and before rejoining Dell, he was the Vice President of Product Management At VAST Data. A solid history working with data storage and securing that data.
Securing data is a critical topic, and this podcast covers topics that help Dell stay at the top of its game. Give it a listen, but if you don’t have time to listen to the whole thing, check the timestamps below to jump to the topics that interest you.
