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.

NetApp Expands Collaboration with Google Cloud to Provide Data Storage for Distributed Cloud Infrastructure

By: via Business Wire

Google Distributed Cloud architecture integrates intelligent data infrastructure to drive secure AI innovation

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud with the integration of unified data storage and intelligent services into the Google Distributed Cloud architecture. This integration empowers organizations, especially in the public sector and regulated industries, to leverage AI-ready infrastructure while maintaining high standards for security and strict regulatory compliance.

Highly regulated organizations such as those in the government, manufacturing, telecom and retail sectors, want to drive innovation by tapping into AI, but emerging regulations such as data sovereignty and consumer privacy laws are creating new hurdles for organizations as they modernize their IT workloads. These organizations need to ensure that they are protecting and governing their data appropriately to overcome these challenges. NetApp’s collaboration with Google Cloud to provide the foundational data storage for Google Distributed Cloud offerings empowers organizations to innovate confidently and manage data effectively, enabling compliance and supporting application development in a secure environment.

Google Distributed Cloud extends customers’ cloud infrastructure and services to the places customers need them, including on-premises data centers and network edges. This enables customers to leverage cloud technology and applications—including AI capabilities—while maintaining more control over their IT environments by bringing the cloud closer to where their data is generated or creating air-gapped environments that limit or eliminate outside connections. Intelligent data infrastructure from NetApp further enhances these environments with its NetApp ONTAP® and StorageGRID solutions which give customers better control over their data to efficiently scale their workloads and leverage AI, while helping maintain security and regulatory compliance. Google Distributed Cloud also leverages these capabilities to support its own services including databases, AI and analytics.

“By working together, Google Distributed Cloud and NetApp are putting AI-innovation in reach, even as organizations navigate new regulatory requirements that make data security and compliance more challenging,” said Cesar Cernuda, President at NetApp. “NetApp is a trusted partner for organizations seeking innovative and compliant data management solutions. With solutions powered by NetApp intelligent data infrastructure, Google Distributed Cloud can offer AI-ready solutions tailored for the public sector and regulated industries.”

With this collaboration, customers can reduce their reliance on disparate solutions across their cloud, data center and edge environments with strong compliance and security. This reduces complexity and increases agility, allowing customers to deploy and manage distributed cloud solutions more easily to keep up with emerging trends and respond to changes in their operating environment.

“Our partnership with NetApp on Google Distributed Cloud has enabled us to provide customers with a platform such that organizations can benefit from localized processing, rapid scalability to meet changing demands, and enhanced security,” said Sameet Agarwal, General Manager and Vice President of Storage at Google Cloud. “These capabilities equip organizations in regulated sectors to effectively address their need for data-driven innovation as they tap into emerging technology like AI.”
