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.

Enterprise Cloud Trends Fuel Oracle Cloud Growth in U.S.

By: via Business Wire

New and established industries turn to Oracle’s application and infrastructure portfolio, proven security and compliance capabilities, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

Enterprises in the U.S. are increasingly using cloud-based Oracle applications and infrastructure as the company competes with the major hyperscale cloud operators, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem report for the U.S. finds the U.S. public cloud market grew rapidly in 2024 as more companies in all sectors began using as-a-service implementations of software (SaaS), platforms (PaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS). Cloud adoption in the U.S. is shaped by extensive regulatory requirements, the size and complexity of large enterprises and industry-specific needs. Oracle’s ability to offer both infrastructure and a broad set of applications in the cloud gives it unique strength in this market.

“Oracle is rapidly gaining ground in the U.S. cloud market against both enterprise application providers and hyperscalers,” said Bill Huber, partner, digital platforms and solutions, for ISG. “Its vast provider ecosystem is essential to that growth. Additionally, we’ve seen Oracle offering innovative cost alternatives that will be very attractive to clients seeking cost optimization solutions.”

Many U.S. enterprises in high-growth industries such as technology are turning to Oracle offerings, especially Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), helping turn the company into the fourth major cloud provider after AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, ISG says. Meanwhile, established industries with stringent compliance, security and data residency requirements, such as financial services, the public sector and telecommunications, remain strongholds for Oracle in the U.S. Both global system integrators and emerging specialist providers enable enterprise Oracle adoption, expanding the company’s partner ecosystem.

OCI is driving much of Oracle’s cloud growth in the U.S., the report says. U.S. companies and providers strongly prefer to run Oracle applications on OCI and increasingly use it for third-party and custom cloud-native applications as well. OCI has cost advantages over rivals, especially for foundational services such as computing, storage and networking, while customers also find value in its security features and deployment options. OCI is also where Oracle is making its biggest investments in cloud-based AI, ISG says.

Cloud complexity and costs, surging adoption of SaaS and the critical need to migrate legacy Oracle platforms to the cloud are expanding the U.S. market for Oracle consulting and advisory services, ISG says. Companies embarking on Oracle cloud projects increasingly partner with providers to ensure strong governance. Demand for managed services is also growing, especially for engagements where success is measured in outcomes.

“U.S. enterprises seeking Oracle managed services have many providers to choose from,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “They need to thoroughly evaluate offerings to avoid hidden costs and make sure providers’ strengths align with business objectives.”

The report also explores other trends affecting Oracle cloud users in the U.S., including the rising demand for Oracle implementation services and the impact of Oracle Customer Success Services, recently formed through the merger of several Oracle service teams.

For more insights into Oracle cloud challenges faced by U.S. enterprises, including migrating from on-premises to cloud-based Oracle implementations and deciding what functions to move to OCI, plus ISG’s advice on these issues, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here.

The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 30 providers across four quadrants: Consulting and Advisory Services, Implementation and Integration Services, Managed Services and OCI Solutions and Capabilities.

The report names Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, HCLTech, Infosys, LTIMindtree, TCS and Wipro as Leaders in all four quadrants. It names Capgemini, KPMG and PwC as Leaders in three quadrants each. Centroid is named as a Leader in one quadrant.

In addition, Centroid, Kyndryl and Tech Mahindra are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in one quadrant each.

In the area of customer experience, Capgemini is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2024 among Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem providers. Capgemini earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.

A customized version of the report is available from Cognizant.
