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.

Lumen Technologies Accelerates Cloud Modernization with Informatica’s AI-Powered Data Management Platform

Lumen achieves one source of trusted data and reduces manual workload by over one thousand hours

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced that Lumen Technologies, a global integrated network solutions provider, has successfully modernized their on-premises PowerCenter workloads to Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform, accelerating time-to-value and minimizing migration costs and effort in its expansion to the cloud.

Lumen faced several data and IT challenges caused by mergers and acquisitions, such as data quality, latency, duplication and reconciliation issues. Lumen partnered with Informatica to create a centralized data platform to consolidate its on-premises data and warehouses. Informatica’s AI-powered IDMC platform allowed Lumen to work within a single platform to streamline network assets, cloud connectivity, security solutions and collaboration tools.

"Data reconciliation took hours of work a month and was often outdated and unreliable," said Brian Bergquist, Senior Manager of Software Engineering and Data Governance at Lumen Technologies. "With the Informatica PowerCenter Modernization Program, we were able to free up our valuable business resources to focus on analytics and forecasting, instead of data repair. We also reduced deployment time significantly by using automated tools that converted thousands of on-premises PowerCenter mappings to IDMC at the speed and scale that our business needed, saving us money, time and effort."

“Our goal with Lumen was to make the modernization process to a cloud-native data management solution seamless while keeping an eye on the cost and timeline,” said Pratik Parekh, SVP of Product Development at Informatica. “We worked with the Lumen team to identify ways to reuse existing PowerCenter assets and move those workloads to the cloud while leveraging the business logic in the cloud, ensuring that business-critical applications remained up and running during the modernization journey.”
