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 Delivers Blueprints to Simplify and Accelerate Generative AI Development on Leading Technology Platforms

Generative AI blueprints for enterprise-grade Generative AI applications are now available for AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud and Snowflake ecosystems

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced the availability of Generative AI (GenAI) Blueprints which make it faster and easier for customers to build enterprise-grade GenAI applications on six industry-leading technology platforms.

The blueprints — for AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud and Snowflake — include standard reference architectures, prebuilt, ecosystem-specific “recipes” and GenAI Model-as-a-Service and vector database connectors to minimize GenAI development complexity and accelerate implementation.

These comprehensive and easy-to-follow blueprints are designed to facilitate the use of AI-ready data as organizations seek to develop and quickly generate business value from GenAI applications. The blueprints comprise architectural guidelines and pre-defined configurations for use with Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform and leading cloud data platforms. Professional services firms such as Deloitte and Capgemini, are building their GenAI platforms on top of Informatica blueprints to bring industry-specific capabilities and value-added services and IP on top of the company’s foundational GenAI blueprints. The blueprints address a range of data and metadata-driven requirements that are common to GenAI initiatives, including data discovery, data engineering, master data management (MDM), access control and policy enforcement.

Key capabilities of the blueprints include:

  • Data Quality and Master Data Management (MDM) to ensure Gen AI applications are grounded and enriched by high-quality enterprise data for key business stakeholders such as customers, products and suppliers.
  • Use of business glossary metadata and data governance to ensure that Gen AI applications are optimized for the industry and enterprise.
  • A no-code approach to allow scalable, robust scaffolding of projects aimed at delivering and managing Gen AI apps.
  • Support for responsible AI with policy and security enforcement to ensure data is included in Gen AI prompts and responds appropriately and securely.
  • Accelerate Gen AI app development with pre-built, no-code, ecosystem-specific iPaaS recipes for AWS, Azure, Google and Oracle using the rapid iPaaS integration and orchestration capabilities of the IDMC platform.
  • Scaling up with high throughput/low latency serverless runtime for integrating AI agents and RAG-chain executors and boosting efficiency through a modern design interface.

“As a strategic alliance of Informatica, we’re excited about the potential of these blueprints to deliver industry-specific GenAI capabilities and value-added services. Business leaders are looking for ways to implement GenAI to meet exacting enterprise requirements, from grounding to contextualization, that require a robust foundation of data management,” said Jim Rowan, Principal and Applied AI Leader at Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Informatica’s GenAI Blueprints are a development for both the industry as well as for our customers as they elevate the practice of developing GenAI applications to meet enterprise requirements for delivering responsible GenAI at scale.”

“A myriad of components must be brought together for GenAI development, including large language models, vector data management, prompt handling and more,” said Rik Tamm-Daniels, Group Vice President of Strategic Ecosystems at Informatica. “These blueprints provide a prescriptive path for customers to unlock the potential of GenAI for their enterprise use cases. Informatica is continuing to simplify and streamline the process of delivering GenAI applications at scale by minimizing the do-it-yourself integration required. And, most importantly, we do so with AI-ready data that is relevant, responsible and robust.”

The blueprints are available at no cost in Informatica’s Architecture Center. Recipes for AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Oracle are available now, with Snowflake and Databricks recipes due next year.
