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.

Fortanix Raises $90M in Series C Funding Led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management to Accelerate Leadership in the Data Security Market

Oversubscribed round validates company's data-first approach to solving cloud security and privacy issues for global businesses thwarting data breaches and ransomware

Fortanix® Inc., the data-first multicloud security company and the pioneer of Confidential Computing, today announced $90 million in Series C financing bringing the total amount the company has raised to over $122 million. The round was led by the Growth Equity business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Goldman Sachs) with participation from GiantLeap Capital as well as the existing investors Foundation Capital, Intel Capital, Neotribe Ventures, and In-Q-Tel. Soumya Rajamani, Vice President at Goldman Sachs, will join Fortanix's board of directors.

The funding builds upon the significant and sustained growth Fortanix has experienced despite the pandemic and the recent macro-economic conditions. The company has gained customers across multiple verticals including some of the highly regulated industries. Traditional network security led approaches have not been entirely successful in preventing data breaches and ransomware. Regulatory requirements have increased as have penalty amounts. The data-first approach to security advocated by Fortanix tackles this problem head-on by decoupling security from infrastructure, and provides an elegant way to secure data, wherever it is. It further allows organizations to credibly conform to privacy laws and regulatory requirements globally including GDPR, Schrems II, HIPAA, PCI, ITAR and several others.

"We constantly look for companies with disruptive technologies and have seen the benefits of its data-first approach," said Soumya Rajamani, Vice President at Goldman Sachs. “Many businesses can relate to the challenge of data security and privacy, and we are proud to support the Fortanix team in their mission to solve security and privacy.”

Fortanix's innovative approach, backed by more than 25 patents, has resonated in the market. The company counts dozens of Fortune 500 companies as its customers, as well as several U.S. government agencies. The company experienced more than 500% growth over the past three years, placing it in the top quarter of the annual Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America for 2022.

"I am grateful to the new and existing investors for their confidence in the Fortanix team and our technology, and I am thrilled to welcome Soumya Rajamani to our board of directors," said Ambuj Kumar, CEO and co-founder of Fortanix. "Cybersecurity is one of the most important needs of our current era. This fundraise is a strong validation of the massive market opportunity ahead as we execute our bold mission."

Strong Company Execution Guides Investor Sentiment

This significant round of financing was driven by a number of company momentum factors, including:

  • A three-year aggregate growth trajectory of 522%, landing on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.
  • Employee growth of 70% year-over-year to more than 225 employees
  • An expanded ecosystem of strategic partnerships that includes over 100 product integrations
  • More than 125 marquee global customers across major industries, including healthcare, banking, FSI, technology services, cloud providers, and federal agencies
  • Strong intellectual property base with over 25 patents, underscoring the technical differentiation of Fortanix's data-first approach
  • Recent expansion of the leadership team, including the additions of the company’s vice president of legal, chief revenue officer and chief marketing officer
