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.

ISG to Assess Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will study service provider offerings for enabling AI, other workloads on the Google Cloud platform

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study evaluating service providers supporting enterprise use of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for AI and other workloads.

The study results will be published in a series of comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports, called Google Cloud Partner Ecosystem, scheduled to be released in July 2025. The geographically focused reports will cover providers that offer consulting and workload migration services, infrastructure management, generative AI (GenAI) services and productivity and integration services.

Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.

GenAI is transforming the way businesses interact with their data and the processes they use to build business applications. Google’s introduction of its Gemini chatbot has enabled organizations to optimize and improve these processes with ease, enhancing the power and efficiency of every service in the GCP portfolio.

“Google Cloud is demonstrating its commitment to empowering businesses through cutting-edge technologies like AI while delivering scalable and sustainable solutions,” said Aman Munglani, director and principal analyst, ISG Research. “The improvements made to the GCP platform have solidified Google’s position as a leader in the cloud computing space.”

ISG has distributed surveys to more than 125 Google Cloud service partners. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce five quadrants representing the Google Cloud services the typical enterprise buys based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The five quadrants are:

  • Google Cloud Professional Services (Consulting and Migration), covering providers offering consulting, migration, implementation and integration services for GCP. Service providers support enterprises in effectively adopting and implementing GCP solutions.
  • Google Cloud Managed Services, assessing providers offering managed cloud services to augment Google’s built-in capabilities, including IaaS and PaaS. These services include orchestration, provisioning, real-time and predictive analytics, and management of public cloud and multicloud environments.
  • Google Cloud Enterprise Data Infrastructure Services, evaluating providers’ portfolio of services for the enterprise data ecosystem. Providers are assessed on their abilities to deliver big data platforms, enable seamless data integration and ensure AI readiness.
  • Google Cloud GenAI and AI Services, covering providers of Google Gemini-based and customized AI/ML solutions. Providers are assessed on their ability to leverage responsible GenAI practices, ensuring ethical and bias-free AI applications.
  • Google Workspace Services, assessing providers offering advisory, migration and integration services for the Google Workspace productivity suite. Workspace continues to grow rapidly, incorporating Google AI to accelerate work, simplify communications and automate tasks.

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global Google Cloud partner ecosystem and examine products and services available in Asia Pacific, Brazil, Europe and the U.S. ISG analysts Sonam Chawla (Asia Pacific), Adriana Frantz (Brazil), Mark Purdy (Europe) and Tapati Bandopadhyay (U.S.) will serve as lead authors of the reports.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not listed as Google Cloud ecosystem partners can contact ISG and ask to be included in the study.

All 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ evaluations feature expanded customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share their experience about a specific provider or vendor are invited to complete this online survey. Participants will receive a copy of this report in return for their feedback.
