The global data growth explosion continues due to companies accelerating their digital transformation and IoT implementations, resulting in more data being created daily “at the edge” — the physical location where events and transactions occur. Much of this new data, including video, audio, images, and sensor data, is unstructured and requires different storage implementations to manage and utilize. Video surveillance footage is one of the largest segments of data growth in the post-pandemic world, with increasingly higher quality cameras in more places, exponentially increasing the volume of video data generation.
