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.

DDN Inferno Ignites Real-Time AI with 10x Faster Inference Latency

By: via Business Wire

At NVIDIA GTC 2025, DDN, the global leader in AI and data intelligence solutions, is redefining enterprise AI performance with the launch of DDN Inferno, a game-changing inference acceleration appliance that delivers sub-millisecond response times and 10x lower compute costs for real-time AI applications. Inferno is purpose-built to eliminate inference bottlenecks, optimize GPU utilization to 99%, and seamlessly integrate multimodal AI data pipelines.

By combining DDN Infinia with NVIDIA Spectrum-X’s AI-optimized networking, enterprises can accelerate AI workflows, maximize GPU utilization, and scale their AI infrastructure seamlessly.

Unlocking the Next Generation of Real-Time AI

DDN Inferno is designed to tackle two of the biggest challenges in AI inference: latency and cost. By integrating DDN’s high-performance architecture with AI-optimized networking from the largest semiconductor company, Inferno accelerates inference processing in ways never seen before:

  • 10x Lower Latency – Response times now drop to sub-millisecond, ensuring instant AI decision-making in mission-critical environments.
  • 12x Cost-Efficiency Gains – Early testing shows Inferno outperforms AWS S3-based inference stacks by 12x, dramatically reducing compute overhead.
  • 99% GPU Utilization – Inferno removes data bottlenecks, ensuring AI workloads fully leverage GPUs for peak performance.

Powering Enterprise AI Without Limits

With Inferno, enterprises can seamlessly integrate multimodal AI workloads—from language models and computer vision to sensor fusion and real-time analytics. Whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, Inferno simplifies AI data integration and accelerates inference pipelines.

“Real-time AI isn’t just about speed—it’s about removing every barrier between data and intelligence,” said Omar Orqueda, SVP, Infinia Engineering at DDN. “Inferno delivers the industry’s most advanced inference acceleration, making instant AI a reality while slashing costs at enterprise scale.”
