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.

U-Haul Speeds Its Digital Transformation with Dynatrace

Do-it-yourself moving leader turns pandemic challenge into opportunity with Dynatrace user-experience and digital business analytics

Software intelligence company Dynatrace (NYSE: DT) today announced U-Haul, the world’s largest do-it-yourself moving and self-storage company, is using the Dynatrace® platform to speed its digital transformation. In response to the pandemic, U-Haul teams needed to react quickly and develop new digital services, including mobile and web-based applications to enable contactless reservations and pick up of moving equipment. With the Dynatrace® Software Intelligence platform, including its Applications and Microservices, Digital Experience, and Business Analytics Modules, the teams gained precise, real-time insights about critical KPIs, such as feature adoption, conversion rates, and user abandonment. This has enabled them to improve user journeys, shorten development cycles, and accelerate the impact of their efforts on the business.

“Moving is stressful enough, and our digital services need to make it as easy as possible for our customers to manage their moves,” said Brian Rutherford, Director of Software Development at U-Haul. “Dynatrace is one of the best solutions we’ve ever deployed, because it gives us the precise, data-backed information we need to understand how our customers interact with our apps, and how these interactions impact the business. Insights from Dynatrace help our team discover new services and features we need to develop to meet our customers’ needs. They also ensure we stay focused on activities that deliver maximum value for our company.”

With the Dynatrace® platform’s Digital Experience Module, teams at U-Haul now understand precisely how their customers are using new features, which helps them proactively optimize user journeys for better conversion rates and higher revenue. Dynatrace automatically connects this user data with application, infrastructure, and log data, enabling the U-Haul team to understand all dependencies, anomalies, and degradations across their entire, dynamic cloud environment. This advanced level of observability, with everything connected and in context – from a tap, click, or swipe, through to back-end, hybrid services – allows the teams to improve code quality, accelerate new feature adoption, and shorten development cycles quickly and easily.

With AIOps capabilities built into the core of the platform through Dynatrace’s AI engine Davis®, anomalies in application performance or user behavior are automatically flagged and prioritized based on business impact, which eliminates the guesswork often associated with other less precise AIOps approaches.

“Dynatrace has allowed us to move away from a ‘war room-mentality’, where we were on call and meeting at any hour of the day to troubleshoot problems,” continued Rutherford. “The Dynatrace platform’s Session Replay capability is like having an instant focus group with all our customers, across 22,000 locations. The proactive assistance to improve our customers’ experience, and the insights we gain from this, are tremendously helpful, not just for IT and development, but for our executive management as well. I can confidently say U-Haul is coming out of the pandemic stronger than ever, in part because of the way Dynatrace has fundamentally changed how we work, build our applications, and support our customers.”
