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 Enables a Power Play for San Jose Sharks’ Data Infrastructure

By: via Business Wire

San Jose Sharks names NetApp as preferred data infrastructure provider

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the original intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced that NetApp has become the preferred data infrastructure provider for the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks will rely on NetApp technology to run its data operations, supporting the team’s innovative use of digital media to enhance fan experiences.

The Sharks are the premier professional ice hockey team of Silicon Valley, competing in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. The team’s deep engagement in the digital realm keeps them closely connected to their loyal fans and helps attract new ones. A key source of these connections is the team’s video data—including live game footage, player interviews, and behind-the-scenes exclusives—which requires a robust and reliable storage solution.

“Not every San Jose Sharks fan can be in the arena for every game, but building alternative experiences that keep fans engaged is a data intensive process,” said Gabie Boko, Chief Marketing Officer at NetApp. “Our world, including sports and entertainment, runs on data, and data runs on NetApp. Intelligent data infrastructure is a critical part of every organization’s operations. Our partnership with the Sharks gives their team the data infrastructure they need to reach out and build connections with all of their fans, wherever they are.”

With the addition of a NetApp AFF C-Series system, the Sharks team will have expanded capacity to store its most valuable data assets. This will support the Sharks’ in-house video production team with additional room to store footage from games and interviews and make video production files accessible where and when they are needed. Additionally, the Sharks will use the NetApp ONTAP® FabricPool feature to automate tiering infrequently used data to the cloud, freeing its IT team from maintaining the manual process to focus on more strategic efforts.

“Our fans are the driving force behind our team, and we want them to have the best experiences possible whether they’re in the arena, at home, or anywhere in the world,” said Neda Tabatabaie, Senior Vice President, Business Analytics & Technology at the San Jose Sharks. “Ceaseless innovation is the cornerstone of our partnership with NetApp. With the increased capacity from NetApp’s systems, we continue to push the boundaries of video-driven, digital fan experiences. We are thrilled to share these benefits with our worldwide fanbase.”
