C.R Kennedy Delivers 27 Octek High-Performance Workstations for AI-Powered Security at SkyCity Auckland
When reliability and performance are essential, organisations need computing solutions that can process vast amounts of data without compromise. In a recent project at SkyCity Auckland — one of New Zealand’s leading entertainment and hospitality destinations, C.R Kennedy upgraded the security and monitoring systems across the site to ensure ongoing safety and loss prevention. C.R Kennedy deployed 27 Octek Performance RTX 4U Workstations into the site to supply the venue with high-performing, large-scale and professional workstations.
Supporting Advanced Surveillance Capabilities
Spanning casinos, restaurants, bars and hotels, SkyCity Auckland operates one of the most complex security environments in the country. To monitor it effectively, their team needed a surveillance platform capable of processing live feeds from hundreds of cameras, sensors and data points — simultaneously, continuously and without fail.
The Octek Performance workstations sit at the heart of that platform. Driven by AI-enabled video analytics software, they give security teams real-time intelligence: flagging suspicious activity, supporting casino operations, strengthening loss prevention and maintaining full situational awareness across the entire site.
Built for High-Performance Workloads
Every Octek Performance RTX 4U Workstation is custom configured for the customer’s specific requirements. For C.R Kennedy and SkyCity Auckland, that meant workstations engineered for sustained, high-intensity workloads, delivered through…
- Intel Core Ultra 7 265K Processor — fast, dependable processing at the core
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB — real-time video rendering and AI inference at scale
- NVIDIA RTX A1000 Professional Graphics — precision visualisation for professional-grade operations
The result is a system that doesn’t just handle demanding workloads — it’s built for them.
Engineered for Critical Environments
SkyCity Auckland is a clear example of why enterprise surveillance can’t rely on off-the-shelf hardware. The combination of AI analytics, high-resolution video and round-the-clock operation calls for systems designed from the ground up to handle it. Octek’s local building and hands-on configuration mean every workstation arrives ready for the environment it’s going into — whether that’s security and surveillance, industrial computing or AI and VR programs.
The Strong Partnership behind the Launch
It was great to collaborate with CR Kennedy on this large scale, high-end international project. At Octek, were here to support businesses in their projects by supplying, building and configuring a range of computers, P.Cs, workstations and other technological requirements. From office computers to AI and VR software handling, Octek works with businesses to deliver the optimal technological solution.
