About Jonathan Siegal
Jonathan Siegal, then with EMC's Core Technologies Group, discussed product announcements and strategy at EMC World 2014 and 2015. In 2014, he highlighted new capabilities for the VNX and V-Max platforms, including bringing data-at-rest encryption from V-Max to VNX2 as a non-disruptive software upgrade. He also described Project Liberty, a software-defined version of VNX that could be deployed on commodity hardware or in the cloud. In 2015, Siegal discussed the DD 9500 backup appliance, which he said delivered 1.6 times the performance and four times the scalability of competitors, and emphasized that the company's data protection strategy was centered on software, including DD 5.6 and ProtectPoint. He also referenced Project Falcon, a software-only version of Data Domain for remote offices and cloud providers. Siegal stated that the company's approach was to provide a best-of-breed portfolio integrated through automation, with Viper as a unified interface, to simplify infrastructure for customers managing hybrid cloud environments.
