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.

Informatica Strengthens Databricks Partnership with Native GenAI Capabilities for Databricks Data Intelligence Platform

Building on their extensive partnership, Informatica and Databricks are helping customers create and manage AI-ready data and Generative AI analytics on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced the latest advances in its continuing partnership with Databricks, the data and AI company. New areas of collaboration include deeper integration between Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform and the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, including Informatica support for AI Functions on Databricks in Informatica’s Native SQL ELT that processes no-code data pipelines natively on Databricks.

“We are seeing phenomenal success with our Databricks-related business, with rapid growth and delivering impactful business outcomes for customers such as Takeda, KPMG and Point72 to name just a few,” said Amit Walia, Chief Executive Officer at Informatica. “One of our key priorities while partnering with Databricks is empowering customers to build enterprise-grade GenAI applications. These applications leverage high-quality, trusted enterprise data to provide high-impact Gen AI applications with rich business context and deep industry semantic understanding while adhering to enterprise data governance policies.”

“As demand for data intelligence increases, we want to help our customers build and deploy high-quality AI applications that deliver accurate, domain-specific outputs,” added Adam Conway, SVP of Products at Databricks. “As a leader in cloud-native, AI-powered data management, Informatica is a key partner of ours, supporting everything from data integration and transformation to data quality, governance and protection.”

On the product front, the recently introduced support for Databricks AI Functions in Informatica’s Native SQL ELT enables organizations leveraging Databricks to rapidly adopt GenAI capabilities of the Databricks Data Intelligence platform with no-code data pipelines, opening Databricks GenAI capabilities to no-code users and ensuring consistency, maintainability and optimal performance of data pipelines running natively on Databricks. The AI Functions on Databricks enable customers to use key Gen AI capabilities, including sentiment analysis, similarity matching, summary generation, translation and grammar correction on your data directly from SQL.

In addition, Informatica’s new Native SQL ELT for Databricks makes it possible to “push down” data pipelines with 50+ out-of-the-box transformations and support for 250+ native Databricks SQL functions to run natively and efficiently on Databricks via Databricks SQL. This enables customers to easily build data pipeline flows in Databricks by leveraging Informatica’s powerful no-code/low-code SQL ELT capabilities.

Late last year, Informatica announced a GenAI Blueprint for Databricks and other enterprise-grade capabilities, including support for Databricks’ Unity Catalog in IDMC. The IDMC platform includes multiple features optimized for Databricks, such as 300-plus data connectors, the ability to create low-code/no-code data pipelines, data ingestion and replication, and GenAI-driven automation via Informatica’s CLAIRE GPT and CLAIRE Co-pilot.

Informatica was recognized by Databricks as its 2024 Data Integration Partner of the Year at the Data + AI Summit. Informatica and Databricks have worked closely over the past several years to deliver transformative data management and analytics solutions to many enterprise customers. Together, they are driving new ways to develop and manage GenAI and analytics workloads across their platforms.
