About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Arrow Electronics Announces Global Availability of Its ArrowSphere Assistant AI Cloud Business Companion

The new AI tool boosts channel partner performance and efficiency to drive greater cloud revenue growth

Global technology solutions provider Arrow Electronics, Inc. announced today the general availability of ArrowSphere Assistant, an AI-powered copilot tool that helps its channel partners optimize their customers’ cloud businesses when using the ArrowSphere Cloud platform.

“Combining the power of generative AI with ArrowSphere Cloud's powerful data allows this tool to go beyond just answering cloud queries, but guide channel partners to new heights of cloud service excellence,” said Eric Gourmelen, vice president and chief technology officer of global ArrowSphere Cloud and AI. “Our early adopters have seen value in ArrowSphere Assistant in delivering greater efficiencies, better cloud performance and even uncover new opportunities with their customers, all while reclaiming time at work.”

ArrowSphere Assistant provides channel partners with deeper data and visual aids, making cloud management faster, better informed, and more efficient, at scale. It can improve operational workflows, reducing the number of clicks and manual data processing. Ninety percent of current users rate the assistant capabilities above 8 or above on a 10-point scale and more than 94 percent of current users would recommend ArrowSphere Assistant to others.

Arrow introduced distribution’s first AI business companion to initially address the most critical cloud business areas by providing robust use cases for channel partners to uncover new business opportunities, improve efficiencies with their FinOps activities and enhance their comprehension of the security posture of their customers, all while managing their cloud business through ArrowSphere Cloud.

Since the limited release in March 2024, ArrowSphere Assistant has been road tested by a global network of Arrow channel partners.

Here’s what early users are saying:

“ArrowSphere Assistant is very helpful in identifying upsell activities on add-ons and more generally to better explain to our customers Microsoft Catalog-buying rules. We can easily access key business information and quickly drill down to the details,” said Jordi Solé, SEMIC in Spain.

Florian Drouard from Koesio Corporate Technologies in France said, “Thanks to ArrowSphere Assistant, our teams can obtain answers to specific questions in a matter of minutes, which previously required time-consuming analysis. It saves us a lot of time in our day-to-day work.”

With ArrowSphere Assistant, Arrow channel partners can apply the benefits of GenAI to their customers’ businesses to better understand cloud activity, uncover issues, visualize trends among their entire customer base and receive data-driven recommendations to help their customers achieve cloud business excellence in seconds.
