Seagate Technology, a large-capacity data storage company, participated in Intersec 2026, a Middle East IT exhibition, and showcased storage solutions supporting intelligence that makes AI-based video analytics searchable and usable for decision-making, it said on Tuesday.

Seagate began shipping 32-terabyte hard drives across its Exos, SkyHawk AI and IronWolf Pro product families to global distribution channels and retail partners.

The portfolio spans edge to cloud and helps companies use data and make better decisions.

According to the company, AI technology applied in video image analytics is driving unprecedented data growth at the network edge. According to IDC, more than 75 percent of organisations expect video data to increase by at least two-fold within the next five years.

Melyssa Banda, senior vice president of Seagate's edge storage and solutions division, said AI applications such as computer vision are changing how video is used across industries. She said video is evolving into searchable business intelligence, from smart city projects to retail and critical infrastructure, and that this means changes in day-to-day operations. She said the shift requires a new type of data backbone and that large-capacity storage is essential for edge computing and data centres to keep insights flowing and enable archive searches. Without that foundation, the potential of AI-based video analytics will be sharply limited, she said.
