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.

Keysight Launches All-In-One Solution for Network Visibility and Security

  • Program is designed to reduce cost, cyber risk, and operational complexity.
  • Initial partners include Forescout, Instrumentix, and Nozomi Networks.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) launched AppFusion, a network visibility partner program that integrates third-party security and monitoring solutions directly into its network packet brokers. The program integrates market-leading technologies from Forescout, Instrumentix, and Nozomi Networks, enabling customers to streamline network and security operations (NetOps/SecOps) while significantly reducing infrastructure costs. This all-in-one, multi-vendor solution helps IT professionals reduce capital and operational expenses while improving security monitoring and performance.

Enterprise IT and security operations (SecOps) teams need real-time network traffic monitoring to troubleshoot performance issues, detect cyber threats, and maintain operational scale and compliance. Traditionally, this required separate hardware appliances, each running different monitoring tools. Keysight’s Vision Network Packet Brokers eliminate this complexity by integrating partner software directly into a single hardware platform.

Key benefits of AppFusion include:

  • Significant reduction in hardware costs by consolidating multiple servers into one Vision appliance.
  • Simplified deployment with pre-integrated, best-in-class security solutions.
  • Centralized management through a single interface for all monitoring tools.
  • Easy scalability with on-demand activation of additional monitoring capabilities.

“The more technology providers integrate and deliver complete solutions, the less time IT and security teams need to spend configuring and managing performance and security,” says Recep Ozdag, Vice President and General Manager, Network Visibility Solutions at Keysight. “Our new partner integration program fuses network visibility and monitoring in a new way to streamline deployment of complete, cost-efficient monitoring solutions for real-time threat detection and troubleshooting of performance issues.”

Initial AppFusion integrations include:

  • Forescout platform with eyeInspect security monitoring technology.
  • Instrumentix xMetrics® trade flow performance monitoring and analytics software.
  • Nozomi Networks’ AI-powered security and risk management solutions.

“Forescout has a long history of providing market-leading OT solutions to the most security-conscious organizations in the world. We’re extremely pleased to partner with Keysight on their AppFusion program,” says Rob McNutt, Chief Strategy Officer at Forescout. “Deploying the Forescout Platform within a visibility fabric delivers an unparalleled and comprehensive view that reduces blind spots and monitoring bottlenecks to fortify security across IT, operational technology (OT), internet of things (IoT), and internet of medical things (IOMT) environments.”

As with OT and IoT environments, the financial markets sector benefits from tightly integrated visibility and monitoring solutions. “Time is money in financial markets, where nanoseconds of delay can impact the value of trades,” says Clive Posselt, Commercial Director at Instrumentix, a newly announced Keysight alliance partner. “Delivering our xMetrics® trade flow monitoring software onboard a Keysight visibility appliance can provide the buy and sell side, as well as exchanges and other liquidity venues, real-time access to the most reliable trade plant performance data, so they can optimize execution outcomes and differentiate their services.”

Chet Namboodri, Nozomi Networks Senior Vice President of Global Business Development, concurs: “Cyber-physical systems in enterprise and industrial environments require equal and, in many cases, higher performance levels for security monitoring and risk management than traditional IT networks. Integrating Nozomi Networks’ AI-powered security and risk management solutions with Keysight appliances saves customers time and money while achieving the most reliable, innovative, and highest caliber of threat monitoring and risk management available for OT, IoT, and cyber-physical systems.”
