Chris Evans got to hear a lot about Dell PowerProtect Data Manager at Tech Field Day Presents Dell Technologies: Power Up the Portfolio. This included a demo of the data protection solution, and an architectural deep dive. For Ethan, this product represents that careful line that Dell EMC has to tread, trying to both serve the thousands of customers it acquired with the EMC merger, while addressing modern data protection needs of new customers. PPDM is designed to cater more to the former in Ethan’s eyes. Going forward, he’s looking forward to getting a better understanding of Dell EMC’s overall data protection roadmap and learning how they protect cloud and SaaS-based apps as well.
