The increased demand for video surveillance, higher resolution and AI analytics have created a need for high capacity storage solutions. Western Digital’s Brian Mallari breaks down how security integrators can deliver them.
Almost half of the responding security integrators reported deploying video solutions that incorporate AI in at least one in four projects during the past six months.
The new line is said to bring elevated performance, workload capability and reliability to AI-enabled recorders and video analytics server applications.
The new WD Purple 18TB HDD, 1TB microSD card and software are optimized for deep learning-enabled NVRs and video analytics applications.
The new research finds HDDs still lead the market, and that integrators see AI and analytics playing an ever-increasing role in deployments, and onboard camera storage is important for new edge use cases.
The need for increased accuracy is driving the need for higher resolution cameras and the adoption of more flash storage into cameras and more HDD storage capacity into NVRs.
Additions include network video recording servers, a new line of analytics and application servers, and enhancements to the VS-HCI product line.
The acquisition expands Quantum’s leadership role in storing and managing video and other unstructured data using a software-defined approach.
When designing a security solution, it’s important to utilize a commercial-grade — not consumer-grade — storage solution that’s designed for smart video.
The WD Purple Ultra Endurance microSD card is said to bring advanced 96-layer 3D NAND technology to security and edge storage cameras.
