Key Terms

ai technical

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

video image analytics technical

Video image analytics is the use of computer programs to automatically examine video or camera images and turn what they see into actionable information, such as counting people, detecting motion, identifying objects, or flagging unusual events. For investors it signals where a company can cut costs, improve safety, boost sales or create new services by replacing manual monitoring with automated, real‑time insight—think of it as an always‑watchful assistant that turns raw footage into measurable business value and potential revenue streams.

computer vision technical

Computer vision is technology that gives machines the ability to 'see' and make sense of images or video, turning pixels into usable information like object counts, measurements, or activity patterns. For investors, it matters because it enables automation, cost reduction and new product features across industries—from quality checks on factory lines to retail analytics—so companies that adopt effective computer vision can boost efficiency, reduce labor needs and create competitive advantages.

edge-to-cloud technical

Edge-to-cloud describes a system where data is collected and initially processed on local devices or sensors (the “edge”) and then sent to centralized remote servers or data centers (the “cloud”) for deeper analysis and storage. Investors care because this setup can cut delays, lower costs, improve reliability and data control, and enable faster, smarter services—factors that affect a company’s operating efficiency, competitive edge, and potential revenue growth.

hybrid technical

A hybrid is a combination of two different things designed to work together, often to improve performance or offer new benefits. For investors, it can mean an asset or strategy that blends features from different types of investments, aiming to reduce risk or increase potential returns. This mix helps create a balanced approach, offering both stability and growth opportunities.

multi-cloud technical

Multi-cloud is the practice of using services from two or more cloud computing providers instead of relying on just one. For investors, this matters because it can lower operational risk and increase flexibility—similar to renting units from different landlords to avoid being stranded if one has problems—and it can affect a company’s costs, growth potential, and resilience, which in turn influence revenue stability and valuation.

cmr technology technical

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) technology is a noninvasive imaging method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures and measurements of the heart and blood vessels, like a high-resolution camera for the body’s main pump. Investors watch CMR because its accuracy can change how heart disease is diagnosed, treated and reimbursed, affecting sales and adoption for medical device makers, imaging centers and healthcare providers.

Flagship SkyHawk® AI, Exos®, and IronWolf® Pro Drives take center stage as Seagate showcases video intelligence innovation at Intersec 2026

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a global leader in mass‑capacity data storage, is showcasing advanced storage solutions at Intersec 2026 that help power the transformation of AI-driven video analytics into searchable, decision‑ready intelligence. The edge-to-cloud portfolio is designed to help businesses unlock the full value of their data and make smarter, faster decisions.

AI applications in video image analytics (VIA) are fueling unprecedented data growth at the network edge. IDC reports that more than 75% of organizations expect their video data to at least double over the next five years, as AI adds summaries, annotations, and metadata to every frame. This surge is driven by new use cases across industries - from accelerating investigations and automating alerts to ensuring compliance and enabling deep operational insights.

To help meet this demand, Seagate highlights its latest mass-capacity storage breakthroughs at Intersec. Building on its leadership in CMR technology, the company brings industry-leading 32TB hard drives across its Exos®, SkyHawk® AI, and IronWolf® Pro portfolio to channel and retail partners. Following the blueprint established in hyperscale cloud environments - where Seagate Mozaic technology at higher capacities is already proven - enterprise customers can confidently scale AI workloads across today’s complex hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures. Hard drives deliver unmatched capacity, performance, and scalability, enabling businesses to efficiently store and process massive volumes of data, supporting AI adoption at the edge and in data centers.

“AI applications, like computer vision, are transforming how video is used across industries,” said Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Solutions at Seagate. “From smart city initiatives to retail and critical infrastructure, video is becoming a searchable business intelligence, and it’s changing how operations run day-to-day. This pivot demands a new kind of data backbone: mass-capacity storage at the edge and in the data center to keep insights flowing and archives searchable. Without it, the promise of AI-powered video analytics stalls.”

To learn more, visit us at Intersec booth SA H19. Seagate experts are there to provide you with the latest updates on cutting-edge technologies designed to address the needs of the AI-driven data surge.

Media are invited to a networking Happy Hour on January 13 at 12:30pm at the booth.
