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.

Agilent Leverages NVIDIA and AWS Technology to Improve Analysis Speeds of Genomics Bioinformatics Pipelines

Cloud-native Alissa data analysis SaaS platform empowers clinical labs and researchers to scale operations with parallel analysis of genomic data

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A), a global leader in genomics technology, today announced it will use Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G5g instances powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Graviton2 processors and featuring NVIDIA T4G Tensor Core GPUs, in combination with NVIDIA Clara Parabricks’ advanced genomics analysis capabilities, to significantly improve processing speeds for variant calling workflows on Agilent’s cloud-native Alissa Reporter software.

This collaboration enables Agilent to offer streamlined workflow solutions for its SureSelect family of next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays comprising a wide range of custom and catalog panels, including SureSelect Human Exome reagents. The integration of NVIDIA Clara Parabricks platform with the Alissa secondary analysis pipelines enables clinical labs and researchers to benefit from fast panel-specific data analysis solutions in a secure and user-friendly cloud software environment.

“Agilent’s SureSelect panels are widely utilized to enrich samples for specific genes of interest, enabling cost-effective targeted sequencing. We’re now able to leverage our bioinformatics expertise, in combination with NVIDIA’s compute expertise, to offer our customers optimized analysis solutions through a combination of Agilent’s optimized variant calling algorithms and NVIDIA’s accelerated compute capabilities,” said Kevin Meldrum, Vice President and General Manager of Agilent’s Integrated Genomics Division.

“We’re also excited to extend our collaboration with AWS to further leverage its data security capabilities and global reach, so we can offer cloud-based analysis capabilities to customers on a global basis,” Meldrum added.

“As the scale and scope of genomics experiments accelerates, reducing analysis turnaround times is more important than ever,” said George Vacek, Global Director of Genomics Alliances at NVIDIA. “The integration of NVIDIA Clara Parabricks with Agilent’s Alissa Reporter software package will enable clinical labs and researchers to improve the efficiency and costs associated with NGS data analysis, helping to advance genomics discovery and medicine.”

“Working with Agilent and NVIDIA, we are giving genomics customers worldwide the ability to take advantage of and innovation with AWS’s secure and transformative cloud computing capabilities that offer the best cost and performance globally. Running genomics workloads in the cloud, allows customers to focus on the important work they are doing to speed insights and achieve scientific breakthroughs that uncover novel and lifesaving products,” said Ankit Malhotra, Genomics Lead, Healthcare, Worldwide Public Sector at Amazon Web Services. “We look forward to our continuing collaboration with both companies to help advance genomic discoveries supported by the cloud. Agilent is committed to working with AWS and NVIDIA to continually advance genomic data analysis capabilities, including region-specific adaptations to meet local security and compliance criteria.”
