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.

Komodor Launches Open Source Project ‘Helm Dashboard’ to Visualize and Understand Helm

Komodor, the troubleshooting platform dedicated to Kubernetes, today released Helm Dashboard at KubeCon North America to provide the missing Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Helm – the most popular way to package and deploy Kubernetes applications. Helm Dashboard is an open source project that runs locally and opens in the browser so that developers can instantly visualize which Helm deployments failed and what resources were the root cause. With the click of a button, developers can explore how a Helm Chart changed over time, rollback to a prior version, or update to the latest version to maintain business continuity.

“We want to build tools that reduce the complexity of Kubernetes,” said Itiel Shwartz, CTO and Co-Founder of Komodor. “Helm is super powerful and all of our customers are using it – but it is very hard to understand because it does so many things: templating, packaging, controlling. It is simply a nightmare when things go wrong.”

Common issues with Helm include the wrong version of the image being installed, incorrect resource limits, misconfigurations of secrets, and other concerns. Developers typically navigate these issues with the Helm CLI in order to understand what is going on within their application or cluster, which can be tedious and requires multiple commands that quickly become untenable at scale. Helm Dashboard helps developers quickly understand whether a given Helm Chart is healthy or unhealthy, provides a diff that highlights what changed within the yaml files between deployments, and then enables the developer to take action and apply a hotfix with the click of a button.

Helm Dashboard will also integrate with open source code scanners such as Checkov and Trivy. Checkov is a cloud infrastructure security scanner created by Bridgecrew that identifies misconfigurations before they're deployed to production; Trivy is the fastest way for DevOps teams to get started with application vulnerability scanning created by Aqua Security. By integrating with Helm Dashboard, developers can be notified about misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and policy violations within Helm at the earliest possible moment within the software development lifecycle (SDLC): while they are coding on their local workstation.

"We're excited to integrate Trivy with Helm Dashboard in order to scan and visualize security issues within Helm Charts," said Amir Jerbi, CTO and Co-Founder of Aqua Security. "The Komodor team is doing a great job helping engineers retain control over their Kubernetes environments -- Helm is notoriously difficult to troubleshoot and this will benefit any engineer building with Kubernetes."

Helm Dashboard was co-created by Itiel Shwartz, CTO & Co-Founder of Komodor who worked previously as an engineer at eBay; and Andrei Pokhilko, Head of Open Source at Komodor who previously co-founded UP9 Inc. and has created numerous open source projects. Earlier this year, Komodor also launched the open source project ValidKube which helps developers quickly validate, clean, and secure their Kubernetes YAML code with Aqua Security as a partner. In less than a year, ValidKube has 25,000 users and 400 GitHub stars.
