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.

TD SYNNEX Launches Global FinOps Practice in Collaboration with IBM to Help Partners Maximize Cloud Profitability

The new offering delivers end-to-end cloud financial management to empower partners

TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX), a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem, today announced the launch of a TD SYNNEX Global FinOps Practice powered by IBM Cloudability. The offering aims to help partners build their own practice, enabling customers to optimize cloud spend, improve forecasting accuracy, and drive stronger financial outcomes across multi-cloud environments.

This new service marks the first time a global technology distributor has launched a comprehensive, end-to-end FinOps practice, uniting real-time analytics, cost governance, and financial accountability under one strategic framework.

“Cloud adoption is accelerating, CFOs are demanding tighter cost controls, and partners are under pressure to deliver more value with less,” said Sergio Farache, Chief Strategy Officer, TD SYNNEX. “With the TD SYNNEX Global FinOps Practice, we’re empowering our partners to turn cloud financial management from a challenge into a competitive advantage.”

The TD SYNNEX Global FinOps Practice delivers a comprehensive framework that includes enablement for partners, integrated tooling, and FinOps-as-a-Service that helps align finance, operations, and IT teams around real-time data to make smarter, more profitable decisions in the cloud. This approach empowers partners to help their customers optimize cloud usage, enhance their own service offerings, and leverage best-in-class financial operations capabilities without competing with their existing services.

“The market is seeing new opportunity in supporting the evolving needs of cloud consumers as they look to streamline operations, drive profitable growth, and meet the demands of their customers,” said David La Rose, General Manager, Sell, IBM Ecosystem. “This new practice, with IBM Cloudability at the helm, offers a differentiated FinOps solution to support client cloud programs today and as they evolve.”

Built for cloud resellers, MSPs, and systems integrators managing complex multi-cloud environments, the TD SYNNEX Global FinOps Practice powered by IBM Cloudability enables partners to launch or scale a FinOps practice without starting from scratch, making them better equipped to enhance their own offerings, improve margins, and boost customer retention. IBM Cloudability, a leading FinOps solution with deep analytics capabilities, complements TD SYNNEX’s global scale and end-to-end solution model, creating a TD SYNNEX-led solution developed to address the unique needs of the channel. The practice includes:

  • Dedicated Global and Regional Centers of Excellence with FinOps experts
  • Advanced analytics and intuitive dashboards powered by IBM Cloudability
  • Actionable guidance and optimization services for right-sizing and savings planning
  • Forecasting and budgeting support, along with executive-level reporting
  • Consultancy and enablement resources to help partners build or enhance their own FinOps capabilities

According to IDC, the global FinOps market is currently valued at $18.5 billion, and is expected to grow more than 16% through 2028, yet many businesses still struggle to track costs, allocate spend, or demonstrate ROI, leaving up to 50% of their cloud spend underutilized – TD SYNNEX’s Global FinOps Practice aims to solve this for partners of varied maturity levels.

The TD SYNNEX FinOps Practice is available to partners who procure cloud services through TD SYNNEX, as well as those procuring directly from cloud services providers. Partners can benefit from the combined strengths of IBM solutions and StreamOne® IaaS optimization capabilities, which together present a distinctive opportunity to help expedite time to market, maximize value, and address skill gaps.

“Our collaboration with TD SYNNEX was key in delivering meaningful cost savings,” said Warren Cornelius, Managing Director, Sincera. “Their innovative share-shift tax strategy secured optimal reserved-instance pricing and managed the long-term commitments to lower our customers' cloud costs while ensuring Sincera maintained positive margins. They also provided excellent post-implementation support, ensuring a seamless transition for both our team and our customer.”
