As AI-powered video analytics drives a surge in data at the network edge, Seagate is advancing mass-capacity storage solutions designed to support growing workloads across hybrid, cloud and edge environments.
AI applications in Video Image Analytics (VIA) are said to be fuelling unprecedented data growth at the network edge.
IDC has reported that more than 75% of organisations expect their video data to at least double over the next five years, as AI adds summaries, annotations and metadata to every frame.
According to the company, this surge is driven by new use cases across industries – from accelerating investigations and automating alerts to ensuring compliance and enabling deep operational insights.
Seagate has reportedly been highlighting, at recent events, its latest mass-capacity storage breakthroughs.
Building on its leadership in CMR technology, the company is said to bring industry-leading 32TB hard drives across its Exos, SkyHawk AI and IronWolf Pro portfolio to channel and retail partners.
Following the blueprint established in hyperscale cloud environments – where Seagate Mozaic technology at higher capacities is already proven – enterprise customers can scale AI workloads across today’s complex hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.
According to the company, hard drives deliver unmatched capacity, performance and scalability enabling businesses to efficiently store and process massive volumes of data, supporting AI adoption at the edge and in data centres.
Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Solutions at Seagate said: “AI applications, like computer vision, are transforming how video is used across industries.
“From smart city initiatives to retail and critical infrastructure, video is becoming a searchable business intelligence and it’s changing how operations run day-to-day.
“This pivot demands a new kind of data backbone: Mass-capacity storage at the edge and in the data centre to keep insights flowing and archives searchable.
“Without it, the promise of AI-powered video analytics stalls.”
