About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Maxava Expands to East and Centra Africa Through Partner PARL

NAIROBI, Kenya & DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania - Maxava, a global provider of innovative high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), monitoring, and security solutions for IBM i, has announced a strategic partnership with PARL, an IBM business partner based in Nairobi, Kenya, to sell and support Maxava software in the East and Central Africa region.

PARL has been addressing the IT needs of private companies, university researchers, and non-governmental organizations since its founding in 1998 as Predictive Analytics Resources Limited. Initially partnering with SPSS—the provider of a leading statistical software package later acquired by IBM in 2009—PARL has since expanded its capabilities. Today, it delivers a wide range of technology solutions to approximately 600 customers across the region and is widely recognized as one of the longest-serving IBM business partners in Central, East, and West Africa, particularly in the area of statistical analysis solutions.

The addition of PARL as a tier 1 partner gives Maxava a trusted presence in the region to sell and support its software solutions, including Maxava HA - the world’s premier high availability software for IBM i - alongside the Maxava Security tool and the Maxava Mi8 multi-platform monitoring solution.

As African businesses modernize, they are seeking access to better tools to manage their operations. That’s particularly true when it comes to security and business continuity, which are sensitive topics for African consumers, particularly after the passage of Kenya’s Data Protection Act, which provides GDPR-like protections in the Africa country.

“They want to know for security purposes that their data is not being sold or being used without their knowledge or their permission,” said PARL CEO Diane Huggins, who founded PARL nearly three decades years ago. “And it also gives them that protection and confidence that whatever classified material that could be held within their data is not going to be leaked out or exposed.”

PARL just received its Kenya Data Protection Act certification in late 2024, and it’s now ready to help businesses comply with it. The combination of the certification and the Maxava partnership demonstrate that PARL is ready to bolster the security and business continuity preparedness of serve new and established customers in the East and Central African region, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Sudan.

“I'm very excited to be able to partner with Maxava because of the value they bring to the current IBM i customers,” Diane Huggins said. “I see an untapped market within this region which we could serve together.”

Maxava is also eager to expand its IBM i software business into the burgeoning Silicon Savanah, the name given to the tech hub that’s currently emerging in and around Nairobi. With 6 million people, Nairobi is the commercial and cultural capital of Kenya, and also is the center of a growing ecosystem around tech, mobile banking, and smart phones.
