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.

Crusoe Announces Collaboration with VAST Data to Deliver High-Performance, Scalable Data Platform on Crusoe Cloud

**Crusoe announces the launch of Shared Disks, a new cloud storage product powered by VAST Data Platform. It is available to all Crusoe customers today, delivering a petabyte scale file system capable of hundreds of GBps in aggregate read and write performance for training workloads.**

**This partnership significantly enhances Crusoe’s climate-aligned Cloud as a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for AI workloads**

Crusoe Energy Systems LLC (“Crusoe”) announced today that it has collaborated with VAST Data to offer Crusoe Cloud customers Shared Disks, a new high performance storage product for AI, available today. This collaboration between Crusoe and VAST will deliver a petabyte scale file system capable of reads up to 200 MBps per TiB per node with hundreds of GPps in aggregate read and write bandwidth per cluster. With the VAST Data Platform / VAST DataStore, Crusoe customers will now have easy access to a NFS solution built for AI workloads at scale. For multi-GPU workloads like AI training, customers will be able to use Shared Disks to ensure they all have performant access to shared datasets.

“Crusoe chose the VAST Data Platform because of its exceptional ability to deliver the reliable file storage that our customers need without any depletion of performance as AI models are scaled,” said Patrick McGregor, Crusoe’s Chief Product Officer. “With client data housed full-time through VAST’s platform, customers will be empowered to build and innovate entirely through Crusoe Cloud. Because of their technology’s strong performance and outstanding team, VAST is a natural partner for Crusoe and our long-term data management goals. We’re excited to work with VAST as we advance Crusoe’s mission to align the future of computing with the future of the climate.”

"Powered by the VAST Data Platform, Crusoe's Shared Disks offering delivers the modern AI cloud infrastructure today's enterprises need to address the challenges of scaling data-intensive AI workloads,” said Chris Morgan, Vice President, Solutions at VAST Data. “Together, we’re delivering AI-driven solutions that provide the speed, security, and operational efficiency required for organizations looking to transform their data landscapes and accelerate their AI deployments to drive innovation and discovery.”

Crusoe Shared Disks will deliver the following features to Crusoe Cloud customers:

  • Disk operations: Customers will have the ability to create, resize, mount, unmount and delete shared disks using the Crusoe Cloud API, CLI, UI interfaces or by using Crusoe’s Terraform provider.
  • Improved Performance: Crusoe Shared Disks can deliver up to 200 MBps of read throughput and 40MBps of write throughput per TiB of storage provisioned.
  • Secure Multi-Tenancy: Crusoe Cloud with Shared Disks are made available to a single project in an organization, with robust audit capabilities, and encryption at rest to deliver secure services to all customers at scale.
  • Fine-Grained Workload Isolation: Through granular quality-of-service policies that prevent multi-tenant I/O contention, Crusoe Cloud Shared Disks delivers the performance and data access customers need for AI workloads from a single cluster without being impacted by other tenants.
  • Reliability: Crusoe Cloud Shared Disks offer the same industry leading 99.5% SLA that is offered by Crusoe Cloud GPU VMs with data being protected both from hardware and component failures.

According to Moody’s Ratings, data center electricity consumption is forecast to grow by 23% annually between 2023 and 2028 with AI-specific energy usage expected to grow by 43% annually over the same period. In 2022, Crusoe launched Crusoe Cloud, a compute infrastructure platform for AI training, inference and HPC workloads. Crusoe’s cloud platform is powered by 100% clean, stranded or renewable energy, achieved by co-locating data centers with sources of clean energy to lower the cost and mitigate the environmental impact of computing. This empowers AI innovators to solve the world’s biggest challenges with climate-aligned computing solutions on Crusoe’s platform. Crusoe currently owns and operates a portfolio of more than 200 MW of data centers with plans to rapidly expand.
