}}PowerVault is a line of data storage and backup products formerly from Dell, and currently for Dell EMC.

After Dell acquired EqualLogic for its iSCSI products in 2008, and Compellent Technologies in 2011, the PowerVault line was positioned as less expensive than the other product lines.{{Cite news |title= Dell: New storage dish?
