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.

Cloud Imperative Drives France to Embrace SDN

By: via Business Wire

Software-defined networks, slow to emerge in France, are enabling digital transformation to overcome pandemic disruptions and other challenges, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Many companies in France, lagging behind their counterparts in other countries, are finally moving to software-defined (SD) networks, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Network — Software Defined Solutions and Services report for France finds SD networking is a key enabler of digital transformation and is helping large enterprises and some larger midsize companies in France migrate their IT and network operations to the cloud. Though a majority of the market still uses older MPLS networks, many organizations are recognizing the benefits of SD networking.

“Combined with cloudification, mobility and other advances, software-defined networking is making enterprises in France more agile, productive and profitable,” said Lyonel Roüast, partner and president, ISG SEMEA.

The rise of remote work and other disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic have led companies in France to focus on improving the application experience for users and increasing overall resilience, the report says. SD networks provide one-touch management that simplifies the addition of new applications and network resources.

Organizations in France are also making network security a higher priority, demanding full security from core to edge, ISG says. SD-WANs play a crucial role in enabling or simplifying the deployment of advanced security, especially across cloud-based networks.

“A growing number of enterprises in France want a secure infrastructure for extending cloud computing to the edge,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “The French market has taken more time to understand this new environment, but companies are starting to see edge computing as a major value proposition for SD-WANs.”

Like many other European countries, France has been slower to adopt fully managed enterprise network services, the report says. Most companies in this market prefer DIY or co-managed SD-WANs, where the enterprise runs the network by itself or in conjunction with a service provider. However, managed SD-WAN is now a high-growth segment in the country.

The report also explores several other trends in the market, including the dominance of local providers and the SD networking outlook for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Network — Software Defined Solutions and Services report for France evaluates the capabilities of 33 providers across five quadrants: Managed (SD) WAN Services, SDN Transformation Services (Consulting and Implementation), Enterprise Networks Technology and Service Suppliers, Edge Technologies and Services, and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).

The report names Bouygues Telecom Enterprises, Iliad/Free, Orange Business Services, SFR and Wipro as Leaders in all five quadrants. It names Tech Mahindra as a Leader in four quadrants and Verizon as a Leader in three quadrants. AT&T and Cisco are named as Leaders in two quadrants each, and Colt, Deutsche Telekom and IBM are named as Leaders in one quadrant each.

A customized version of the report is available from Bouygues Telecom Enterprises.
