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 Launches New Generative AI and Snowflake Native App Offerings on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), an enterprise cloud data management leader, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Data Cloud Summit 2024, Native SQL ELT support for Snowflake Cortex AI Functions, the launch of Enterprise Data Integrator (EDI) and Cloud Data Access Management (CDAM) for Snowflake. These new offerings on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud will enable organizations to develop Generative AI (GenAI) applications, establish streamlined data integration and provide a centralized, policy-based access management, simplifying data governance and ensuring control over data usage.

“We are excited to continue strengthening our ongoing collaborative relationship with Snowflake,” said Pratik Parekh, SVP Product Development for Informatica. “At Snowflake Summit last year, we unveiled Informatica Superpipe for Snowflake, revolutionizing the industry with 3.5x faster data integration and replication. This year, we're continuing the momentum by unveiling our latest innovations, aimed at making it easier than ever for customers to access fast, secure and reliable data in Snowflake and leveraging the new Cortex AI features.”

New capabilities include:

Native SQL ELT for Cortex AI Functions now supports new GenAI capabilities following the recent launch of Native SQL ELT for Snowflake at Informatica’s recent conference, Informatica World. In addition to the 250 Native Snowflake functions initially supported, Native SQL ELT now supports Cortex AI Native GenAI functions. With this new integration, Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) customers can incorporate Cortex AI Functions as part of their IDMC no-code data integration and data engineering pipelines running natively on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.

Enterprise Data Integrator (EDI) establishes Informatica as one of the first ISV Partners to provide a fully functional Snowflake Native App. Leveraging a Streamlit in Snowflake built user interface and Snowpipe Streaming, EDI seamlessly integrates Snowflake Native App framework for quicker discovery and data loading. The EDI service is free for 30 days to allow users to experience the product before they buy.

CDAM for Snowflake delivers policy-based access management, providing a centralized control plane for both data governance and access. It seamlessly combines data access control with classification, discovery and cataloging tools, leveraging metadata to automate processes. With an intuitive policy authoring interface, it simplifies enterprise-wide data access management. Fully integrated with Cloud Data Integration and Cloud Data Marketplace, it offers automated contextual controls on data usage and sharing.

“The Informatica and Snowflake collaboration enables seamless integration and high-speed data replication that has assisted us in our digital transformation and built confidence and trust in this powerful partnership. We’re genuinely excited about the future possibilities this collaboration unlocks, and look forward to leveraging the new features and functions that the partnership provides,” said Jeff Gibson, VP of IT US and Canada, Brink’s U.S. | A Division of Brink's, Incorporated.

“Informatica’s ongoing partnership with Snowflake is strengthened through the early adoption of Cortex AI for Generative AI Applications, as well as the launch of EDI and CDAM for Snowflake,” said Prasanna Krishnan, Snowflake’s Head of Collaboration and Horizon. “Our mission to enable customers to bring AI and apps to the data is strengthened by our partner ecosystem. Snowflake’s partnership with Informatica enables customers to bring advanced data processing capabilities to their data in the AI Data Cloud.”

By leveraging the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, Informatica is joining Snowflake in mobilizing the world’s data to help organizations to build fast and secure data pipelines for new Generative AI applications.
