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.

Informatica Unveils New Unified Cloud Analytics Experiences with Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service

Years-long collaboration of co-development and shared innovation delivers a unified experience for joint customers based on advanced integrations between Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud and the Azure ecosystem

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), an enterprise cloud data management leader, announced deeper integrations across the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. The latest milestones will deliver seamless access to data capabilities for millions of global Azure customers. The co-developments were unveiled at Microsoft Ignite, the annual developer and IT professionals conference underway in Seattle.

“We’ve spent the last several years working with the Microsoft Azure team to deliver unified experiences, and develop deeply integrated data, analytics and AI-powered solutions that are true differentiators for joint customers,” said Jitesh Ghai, Chief Product Officer at Informatica. “This collaboration, and an unrelenting customer obsession, continues to drive significant momentum within the Azure ecosystem.”

Generative AI Integration: CLAIRE GPT Uses the Power of Azure OpenAI Service

Informatica collaborated with Microsoft engineering and the Azure OpenAI Service team to use the relevancy and accuracy of their large language models to develop CLAIRE GPT, launched at Informatica World 2023 as the next generation, generative AI version of its benchmark AI engine, CLAIRE. CLAIRE GPT provides a natural language interface to data and Intelligent Data Management Cloud, transforming how users discover, understand, govern, and consume data through simple conversational interactions. Building in fine-tuned Azure OpenAI Service models allows CLAIRE GPT users access to state-of-the-art data management code generation as well as comprehensive systems for responsible AI required for enterprise use cases.

Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud’s (IDMC) Data Quality as a native-workload on Microsoft Fabric

As one of the first ISV design partners for Microsoft Fabric, Informatica’s IDMC will offer rich data management capabilities to Microsoft Fabric users as a native application on the next-generation data analytics platform. This means IDMC capabilities will be directly embedded and available as a unified experience within Microsoft Fabric. Customers will be able to discover and use key data management solutions – specifically data profiling, quality, observability, and integration capabilities – to build trusted data to power Fabric analytics workloads. IDMC, as a native application on Fabric, is expected to be generally available in the first half of 2024.

Additionally, Informatica has also built high-scale, high-performance IDMC connectors for Fabric OneLake, Lakehouse and DataWarehouse to serve customers’ analytics use cases. These connectors allow more seamless data ingestion to build a trusted, single source of truth, support delta parquet and SQL endpoints and drive real-time analytics within the Fabric platform.

“Access to high quality, trusted and mastered data is vital for the delivery of world-class experience for our patients,” said Joe Nguyen, System VP of Data and Analytics, SSM Health. “Informatica’s Claire AI engine will allow us to get a better understanding of the quality of the data in our platform and answer more intelligent questions with trust and confidence. The innovations of Informatica and Microsoft together enables SSM Health to derive unique insights and helps us to create long term value for our Mission to provide high-quality care to our patients.”

“As we’ve advanced our relationship with Informatica over the last few years, it’s flourished into a strong collaboration built on co-innovation and a shared goal to enhance the experience for Microsoft Azure customers,” said Arun Ulagaratchagan, Corporate Vice President of Azure Data at Microsoft. “Using Microsoft Fabric and Azure OpenAI Service, the integration of this data management cloud as a native service across the expanding Azure landscape means our users will have its considerable data capabilities at their fingertips as they look to confidently tackle their AI and analytics use cases.”
