As data at the network edge explodes due to AI-powered video analytics, Seagate is advancing high-capacity storage solutions designed to support growing workloads across hybrid, cloud, and edge environments.
Video Image Analytics (VIA) AI applications are said to be driving unprecedented data growth at the network edge.
IDC reports that more than 75% of organizations expect their video data to at least double in the next five years as AI adds summaries, annotations, and metadata to every frame.
The company says this surge is being driven by new use cases across industries, from speeding investigations and automating alerts to ensuring compliance and delivering deep operational insights.
Seagate is reportedly highlighting its latest mass storage breakthroughs at a recent event.
Building on its leadership in CMR technology, the company is said to offer channel and retail partners industry-leading 32TB hard drives across its Exos, SkyHawk AI and IronWolf Pro portfolios.
Following a blueprint established in hyperscale cloud environments where high-capacity Seagate Mozaic technology is already proven, enterprise customers can scale AI workloads across today’s complex hybrid and multicloud infrastructures.
The company says its hard drives offer unparalleled capacity, performance and scalability, enabling enterprises to efficiently store and process large amounts of data and support AI deployments at the edge and data centers.
Large video data storage
“We’re excited to partner with Seagate to deliver the ultimate in edge storage and solutions,” said Melissa Banda, Seagate’s senior vice president of edge storage and solutions. “AI applications such as computer vision are transforming the way video is used across industries.
“From smart city initiatives to retail and critical infrastructure, video is becoming searchable business intelligence and changing the way businesses operate every day.
“This transformation requires a new kind of data backbone: high-capacity storage at the edge and data centers to enable flow of insights and search of archives.
“Without this, the promise of AI-powered video analytics will stall.”
