Q&A: Dell EMC ramps up cloud data storage, security and recovery solutions
As the spirited discussion surrounding hybrid and multicloud data solutions continues to accelerate, storage and data protection remain top of mind. Dell Technologies Inc. is working with organizations to better understand their unique business demands, including storage, security and recovery strategies.
“The Dell Technologies Cloud is helping customers completely transform to a cloud operating model and [understand] the people, processes and technology implications of doing so,” said Alyson Langon (pictured, right), consultant of storage portfolio product marketing at Dell EMC.
Langon and Jay Krone (pictured, left), senior consultant of storage portfolio product marketing at Dell EMC, spoke with Rebecca Knight (@knightrm) and Stu Miniman (@stu), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Dell Technologies World event in Las Vegas. They discussed some of the biggest challenges businesses are facing, Dell’s work with VMware Inc., and how customers are reacting to some of the ongoing changes occurring in the cloud space (see the full interview with transcript here). (* Disclosure below.)
[Editor’s note: The following answers have been condensed for clarity.]
Miniman: Explain how cloud-enabled isn’t cloud watching — something like PowerMax.
Krone: PowerMax is just joining the Cloud family, and one of the things we have announced is an offering that we have through a cloud service provider that allows you, for example, as an existing PowerMax customer, to use [symmetrix remote data facility], to use native replication to replicate into the cloud, and then in a VMware environment. Here’s that disaster recovery use case coming: In a VMware environment, use Site Recovery Manager to perform a failover and then this service provider will spin up those VMs and VM works out on AWS. So what you get is an automatic failover for VMware environments with PowerMax.
Miniman: Bring us inside some of the conversations you’re having with customers. What are some of the top business challenges, and how are they different?
Krone: There’s the disaster recovery use case, which is new. The other thing that’s happening is there’s five years of learning that people have had around the public cloud. I was talking with a reseller, and one of the value propositions we have for this offering … is because the storage is at a service provider that is not the cloud provider. They can offer a different economic model. So people are finding new ways to go to the cloud for less money.
That works out well because it makes the cloud more affordable for everyone. It gives them and us some additional business opportunities, and, most importantly, it gives customers the ability to use the cloud consumption model, the [operating expense] model, and the outsourcing of the resources that they couldn’t do before. That’s the big thing. We’re basically enabling the public cloud in ways we couldn’t have done five years ago.
Knight: Where do you think the customers’ mindsets are right now? Are customers appropriately concerned about the threats they face and the requirements that are bearing down, or do they have their heads in the sand?
Krone: Everyone is concerned about security. We offer a model where your data is in the lockbox from Unity or Isilon or PowerMax, and it’s not in some amorphous place in the cloud. That gives people a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings. And things like data encryption still works on the storage arrays when it’s in the cloud.
