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 Collaborates with Red Hat to Deliver Increased Flexibility for Virtualized Environments

By: via Business Wire

New capabilities empower businesses with secure, simplified application management

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced an expanded collaboration with Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, to offer new solutions to streamline and accelerate enterprise application development and management in virtual environments. By uniting NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure with Red Hat OpenShift, this collaboration offers customers more flexibility to manage their virtualized environments more seamlessly on-premises and in the hybrid multicloud.

Companies are under increasing pressure to innovate quickly, developing new and differentiated enterprise applications that can simplify ongoing business operations or drive improved outcomes for customers. Red Hat OpenShift is the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes and trusted by thousands of companies, including more than half of the top 25 Global Fortune 500, to help streamline application lifecycles and drive innovation for AI. NetApp is expanding its work with Red Hat to deliver enhancements to its intelligent data infrastructure to reduce costs and increase the flexibility of Red Hat OpenShift environments as customers develop, manage, secure and protect Kubernetes containerized workloads and virtualized applications.

“In today’s ever-changing technology landscape, organizations need to embrace flexibility and agility so they can adapt and create a winning strategy,” said Jonsi Stefansson, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at NetApp. “Developing, deploying, and managing modern enterprise applications requires high-performance and secure, persistent flash storage and advanced data management capabilities. NetApp intelligent data infrastructure with Red Hat OpenShift makes it simpler and faster for customers to adopt and manage their virtualized environments, as well as deliver performance, mobility and security for critical data managed on Red Hat OpenShift AI.”

To support the expanded collaboration with Red Hat, NetApp is announcing new capabilities that give customers more flexibility in how they deploy and manage virtual environments, especially as they leverage Red Hat OpenShift, including:

  • Trident: The container storage interface (CSI) integration for Trident provides Red Hat customers running Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization direct and simplified access to NetApp ONTAP® advanced replication and disaster recovery software. This allows Red Hat OpenShift operations teams and DevOps teams to use their existing familiar management interfaces and pull ONTAP functionality into their existing workflows, while also leveraging high-performance, all-flash storage that maintains persistence even as virtual machines or containers are created, modified, or removed. NetApp is releasing a new version of Trident that includes integrated protection, migration, and disaster recovery capabilities at no additional cost. In addition, it extends support for Google Cloud NetApp Volumes.
  • Cisco FlexPod Validated Designs for Red Hat: NetApp has released new validated designs for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and Red Hat OpenShift AI deployments on its Cisco FlexPod converged infrastructure solution. This gives customers greater confidence that their Red Hat virtualized and modern AI workloads can run smoothly through a single point of support and delivery as they leverage virtualization and container management, network, server and storage functionality.
  • Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated with Google Cloud NetApp Volumes on Google Cloud: A new integration with NetApp Volumes gives customers the option to use a first-party storage service in Google Cloud to run their containerized workloads, giving them increased flexibility to leverage persistent enterprise storage built on NetApp ONTAP. With Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, enterprises have a fully managed application platform to help ensure their clusters work as expected with expert support. Now, customers have a supported way to move Red Hat OpenShift workloads to Google Cloud and benefit from NetApp ONTAP intelligent data infrastructure capabilities.

“We believe in the power of open source software to help businesses access the latest features and capabilities to run their IT environments,” said Stefanie Chiras, Senior Vice President, Partner Ecosystem Success, Red Hat. “At the core of the open-source philosophy is collaboration, and in that spirit, we are expanding our collaboration with NetApp to help empower customers with the flexibility they need to drive innovation in their virtualized environments. Intelligent data infrastructure from NetApp provides a solid foundation for Red Hat OpenShift customers to further modernize and protect the applications running in their virtual deployments and Kubernetes containers.”

To explore these new integrations and learn how NetApp can enhance your Red Hat OpenShift deployments, visit the NetApp booth #R45 at KubeCon in Salt Lake City, Utah from November 12-15, 2024.
