On November 3 Seagate will demonstrate its newly available mass-capacity data transfer and storage solution, Lyve Mobile array. The demo will take place at the Future Mobility Campus Ireland’s (FMCI) Showcase Event, held in Shannon, Ireland. It involves Jaguar I-PACE vehicles converted by FMCI into self-driving prototypes. The 96TB storage solution transfers massive autonomous vehicle (AV) datasets quickly and securely for AI and ML processing at the edge and the cloud.
The prototype Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will complete a series of live on-road trials, interacting with connected roads, smart junctions and local infrastructure to gather data. They have Seagate’s Lyve Mobile array SSD, validated and optimised for in-vehicle data movement, directly mounted in the vehicle’s trunk. It stores all the data in real time, accelerating access to the data collected for analysis and algorithm optimisation. Powered by Renovo’s Insight Node, Lyve Mobile array facilitates the data journey from the endpoint to the edge and finally to the core cloud.
