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.

DigitalOcean Provides Secure, High-Performance Multi-Cloud Connectivity with DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect

New connectivity solution is designed to simplify multi-cloud and hybrid cloud networking, helping to enhance performance and security options for businesses

DigitalOcean Holdings Inc (NYSE: DOCN), the simplest scalable cloud for growing businesses, today announced the general availability of DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect, designed to be a secure, high-performance connectivity solution to simplify multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud networking. The service enables businesses to establish private, secure connections between DigitalOcean and other cloud providers or private clouds, bypassing the public internet for improved security, predictable latency, and optimized network performance.

DigitalOcean’s all-in pricing with no charges on the data transfer lowers the total cost of ownership, making it more cost effective for businesses. Partner Network Connect also enhances existing network solutions like DigitalOcean VPC and VPC Peering by extending private connectivity beyond a single cloud environment, and complements services like load balancers by enabling secure, predictable traffic paths between environments.

As more businesses adopt multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments, managing cloud connectivity can become both complex and costly. Partner Network Connect offers a seamless solution, providing a private connection to support distributed workloads, powered by DigitalOcean’s integration with Megaport, a leading Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider. This solution helps growing businesses connect DigitalOcean with other cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and others – without the complexity or expense of traditional VPNs or self-managed solutions.

"DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect provides customers with a more secure, high-performance networking between DigitalOcean and other cloud providers or on-premises data centers," said Bratin Saha, Chief Product and Technology Officer at DigitalOcean. "This integration with Megaport equips businesses with the capability they need to connect their multi-cloud infrastructure easily, helping to improve security, performance, and cost control, all with the simplicity and predictable pricing from DigitalOcean."

"Integrating with DigitalOcean addresses a clear market need for simpler multi-cloud connectivity," said Michael Reid, CEO of Megaport. "Growing businesses shouldn't have to choose between performance and simplicity, especially when running data-intensive or AI workloads. Our integration with DigitalOcean provides private, high-speed connections for today's distributed applications, helping customers move data efficiently across cloud environments without the traditional networking headaches or costs."

Key Benefits of Partner Network Connect:

  • Improved latency: Low latency, high-bandwidth private connectivity (1 Gbps to 10 Gbps) for faster, more reliable performance across cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Enhanced security: Private connections are designed to keep sensitive data off the public internet, helping to provide added security for critical workloads.
  • Cost optimization and predictability: Businesses can minimize data transfer costs by avoiding egress charges and optimizing cross-cloud networking.
  • Simplified management: There is no separate review process for throughput reservation. Customers simply reserve the needed throughput from the DigitalOcean Networking console and complete the connectivity with Megaport.

Real-world Use Cases:

  • FinTech & Healthcare companies handling sensitive data: Organizations in regulated industries can help enhance security by keeping financial transactions and patient records off the public internet.
  • AdTech and MarTech: Companies looking to enhance content delivery, data-driven personalization, and real-time ad bidding using multi-cloud connectivity.
  • SaaS providers managing multi-cloud deployments: Software companies deploying applications across DigitalOcean and other cloud providers can simplify cross-cloud networking, reducing operational complexity and costs.
  • Online businesses, like global e-learning platforms: These organizations serve students and educators across various regions, and require the ability to deliver data to multiple geographic locations while maintaining performance and unified end-user experience.

Partner Network Connect is available in all DigitalOcean regions except SYD1, LON1, BLR1 and TOR1. It can be accessed via both the UI and API. To learn more or get started, visit the DigitalOcean Partner Network Connect documentation.
