Case Study: China Merchants Bank achieves more reliable surveillance storage with Seagate Surveillance HDD

China Merchants Bank, Making the Switch to a More Robust Surveillance Storage Solution

China Merchants Bank, a major Chinese financial institution with branches across Asia, needed a more dependable way to store 24x7 surveillance footage after its PC-based hard disk drives began failing and losing important video data. The bank’s mixed fleet of HDD brands across branches made reliability inconsistent and made it difficult to manage surveillance storage effectively. Seagate’s surveillance storage solutions, including the Surveillance HDD, were chosen to address these issues.

Seagate helped China Merchants Bank standardize on a single surveillance-optimized HDD model across new and existing SDVR deployments, improving data integrity, reliability, and storage capacity while simplifying inventory and procurement. The bank reported lower investment and total cost of ownership through more efficient purchasing, reduced middleman costs, and better overall surveillance storage performance.
