From April 24th to the 26th, 2013, the 16th Secutech International Exhibition and Conference took place in Tapei, Tawain, once again offering a venue for security professionals to present their business value.
Alongside an array of other exhibitors, Seagate teamed with eight industry-leading surveillance vendors to display storage solutions that address a variety of surveillance usage requirements:
● IP Surveillance
● Video Analytics
● Centralized Storage
● Embedded DVR
● Video as a Service
● Surveillance in the Cloud
These demos addressed the major technological advancements that continue to change the storage industry. According to forecasts from IMS Research (recently acquired by IHS), 2013 will be the year when global network video surveillance equipment sales surpass analogue video surveillance equipment sales. Centralized storage is gaining prominence as well for its scalability and easy management. Cloud computing in surveillance is also rising, due to its relatively low cost, while Managed Video as a Service (MVaaS) and Hosted Video as a Service (HVaas) are often part of the package.
As technologies converge and surveillance architectures improve, surveillance needs and usage models also evolve. To meet client demands, surveillance storage will need to be purpose-built with the following key capabilities:
1. Video accuracy, which ensures maximized data integrity, in addition to accurate read-and-write metadata and control data
2. Sequential writing performance, enabling more HD and megapixels video feeds are supported and more bandwidth is available for higher resolutions
3. Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), without compromise to reliability, scalability and power efficiency in the long term
4. Video data security, including data encryption and secure erase technologies
In collaboration with renowned providers of surveillance services at this year's conference, Seagate demonstrated a wide range of surveillance-related products in different capacities, with Seagate HDDs as the core technology.
Each demo station established the importance of using the right hard drive in the particular surveillance application displayed. This lesson can vastly influence a provider's ability to offer distinguished surveillance systems with improved reliability, performance and affordability—all key elements to differentiate from competitors' offerings.
