AI-enabled video imaging and analytics systems require support for heavy workloads that process and analyse multiple streams, and thousands of hours of video data.

During the ISC West 2022 trade show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Seagate Technology Holdings plc (Seagate Technology), a globally renowned company in mass-data storage infrastructure solutions, launched the new SkyHawk AI 20TB hard disk drive (HDD). The mass-capacity HDD adds to the company’s renowned line of video imaging and analytics (VIA) devices.
