Market Leader in Surveillance Storage Seagate has dominated the data storage industry for 40 years.

SkyHawk AI 14TB is a surveillance-optimised drive designed for NVRs and edge computing. Recording footage from up to 64 HD cameras, supporting 32 AI streams with metadata, and storing over 9000 hours of HD video, SkyHawk AI is tuned for 24/7 workloads. Its SkyHawk Health Management software actively monitors drive health.

A SkyHawk Health Management software, SkyHawk AI 14TB features expanded durability and a new 14TB capacity, the highest for a surveillance-optimised drive for security edge applications. At 550TB/year, SkyHawk AI is designed for more than 3x the workload of standard surveillance drives. SkyHawk AI supports up to 64 HD cameras and 32 AI streams with metadata simultaneously. Its 90% write and 10% read workloads are ideal for NVRs enabled with AI for edge computing applications. Powered by SkyHawk AI, NVRs can ensure data is preserved and instantly accessible for analytics and real-time decision making.

By implementing SkyHawk AI, system integrators optimise their storage capabilities, maximise NVR and server performance, and ensure system longevity. Deploying SkyHawk AI reduces the risk of critical data loss and ensures data is readily available and protected. This ultimately results in fewer maintenance calls, greater peace of mind, higher customer satisfaction, high customer retention, and increased revenues.

SkyHawk AI meets the need of providing both increased and more reliable storage as IoT and artificial intelligence technologies continue to see rapid adoption. About 2,500 petabytes of data are expected to be recorded every day by surveillance cameras installed in 2019, according to IHS Markit. HD and ultra HD video coupled with metadata from surveillance AI puts hard drives under increasing stress. Not only do these drives have to adapt to 24/7 mixed workloads, but they also have to accommodate longer retention periods for deep learning. SkyHawk AI is designed to meet all of these needs and is the ideal storage solution for surveillance AI applications.

SkyHawk AI drives offer many benefits to system integrators by optimising their storage capabilities, maximising NVR and server performance, and ensures system longevity. Deploying SkyHawk AI reduces the risk of critical data loss and ensures data is readily available and protected. This ultimately results in fewer maintenance calls, greater peace of mind, higher customer satisfaction, high customer retention, and increased revenues.
