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.

Arctera Advances Cyber Resilience by Integrating Identity Protection With Backup Exec

By: via Business Wire

Latest Release Incorporates Built-In Microsoft Entra ID Protection and Faster Microsoft 365 Backup

Arctera, a global leader in data management, today announced updates to Arctera Backup Exec that deliver unified identity and data protection in one platform, at one price, across hybrid environments, with built-in Microsoft Entra ID protection and enhanced Microsoft 365 backup performance.

Simon Jelley, Vice President & General Manager, Data Protection at Arctera, said: “In a world where organizations are increasingly having to do more with less, the role of guaranteeing recovery is increasingly shifting away from data protection specialists to being a part-time responsibility of other IT roles. This is why we have always focused on delivering simple, unified and powerful data protection with Arctera Backup Exec. We are now extending this philosophy to not just protect data, but also identity.”

This update reinforces Backup Exec’s role as the most straightforward path to protection for IT generalists and backup administrators. The platform eases the complexity of protecting Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and hybrid workloads from threats such as ransomware, insider attack, natural disasters and human error, helping organizations recover operations with speed and reliability.

Jelley went on to say: “Identity is the 'front door' to systems – weak identity protection undermines even the strongest data protection. Many businesses have wisely adopted zero trust strategies to keep their data safe. However, this makes it critical for those businesses to be able to restore user permissions in the event that their identity management tools are compromised. After a ransomware attack, companies may be able to restore their data, but end users will not be able access it until identity data is restored first – meaning business operations are still paralyzed. With these enhancements to Backup Exec, Arctera is giving organizations a single platform that protects everything they need to bounce back quickly and simply when disruptions occur.”

Arctera Backup Exec now:

  • Protects identities by default: Microsoft Entra ID settings and relationships are safeguarded in every deployment, ensuring rapid recovery if accounts or configurations are compromised.
  • Delivers stronger Microsoft 365 resilience: Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams data is backed up faster, more simply, and at scale to reduce downtime and risk.
  • Guides smarter planning: The new Recommendation Tool analyzes Microsoft 365 environments and provides administrators with clear, actionable guidance to optimize backup strategies.
  • Improves speed and flexibility: Enhanced incremental and consolidated backups, streamlined delegation, and load balancing for Microsoft 365, along with subscription edition support that simplifies administration and improves performance.

Ooko Arnold Ochieng, Chief Communications Officer at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, said: “Arctera’s investment in these enhancements reflects an understanding of the real-world challenges businesses face today, delivering a practical solution that strengthens organizations like ours to defend against threats while maintaining continuity. It’s a clear signal of Arctera’s commitment to intently listen to customer challenges and respond with solutions that make resilience more achievable.”

Jason Buffington, Principal Analyst, Data Protection Matters, said: “IT teams are increasingly being asked to do more with less, all while cyber threats rapidly evolve and escalate. Identity is on the front lines of any cyber-preparedness strategy, so integrating its protection within the solution that you entrust your data to is certainly an elevation in your resilience strategy. Backup Exec has earned its reputation for simplifying data protection, so it's exciting to see Arctera ensuring identity is as protected as data for more comprehensive cyber recovery. It’s a thoughtful step that positions customers to stay ahead as protection demands progress.”
