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.

HPE Introduces New Virtual Private Cloud and On-Premises Deployment Options for HPE Aruba Networking Central

Expansion of flagship HPE Aruba Networking Central network management solution addresses increasing demand for data sovereignty with regional and local control of networks; includes built-in security, AI-powered optimization and enhanced observability

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today introduced an expansion of HPE Aruba Networking Central, HPE’s security-first, AI-powered network management solution, with new deployment options, including a virtual private cloud (VPC) environment for customers who demand the agility of cloud with specific data security, data control or regulatory requirements, and an on-premises option that can operate while being disconnected from the cloud. With this expansion, HPE now provides the widest set of advanced network management capabilities available in the industry, as the only vendor to offer cloud-native AI operations via dedicated customer VPC, on-prem, public SaaS, or network as a service (NaaS).

HPE Aruba Networking Central On-Premises for Government provides a new deployment option, which includes FIPS 140-2 certified server hardware to meet related government security requirements. This comprehensive network management solution boosts enterprise efficiency for emerging use cases such as AI data capture, training, and inferencing, which require greater control via air-gapped on-premises and cloud-based VPC options. The public cloud and VPC deployment choices leverage the global presence of HPE GreenLake cloud, which offers local cloud presence in many geographies.

Other HPE Aruba Networking Central innovations include an always-on, automated network AIOps capability that continuously monitors critical wired and wireless network operations to optimize network operations and detect performance issues. A fabric of AI assistants acts as network architects, monitoring and gathering data, providing diagnostics and recommendations to extend existing capacity and performance, close security gaps, and identify configuration errors before they impact network operations.

HPE Aruba Networking Central has also expanded full-stack network observability and data lake telemetry for both heterogenous network environments and critical IT applications with enhanced IT monitoring solutions. New additions include a one-year subscription powered by OpsRamp, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, for monitoring capabilities of third-party devices. HPE Aruba Networking Central will also provide deeper visibility into real time apps such as Microsoft Teams for significantly improved voice and video call support.

“Organizations are increasingly prioritizing data sovereignty, requiring regional and local presence for mission-critical IT solutions. With these innovations, HPE now uniquely addresses the most pressing enterprise challenges for corporate, nonprofit, and government entities with unprecedented network management deployment flexibility,” said Phil Mottram, EVP and general manager, HPE Aruba Networking. “Combined with our continued innovation across AI, security and connectivity, HPE Aruba Networking Central continues to offer the most powerful and versatile network management application on the market, helping organizations meet their security, privacy and control requirements.”

Specific new features and benefits in HPE Aruba Networking Central include:

  • Four distinct deployment options, the most of any network management application. HPE Aruba Networking Central can now be deployed as cloud-delivered SaaS, VPC, on-premises, or NaaS solution to address the requirements of enterprises and government entities alike, satisfying regulatory constraints and adherence to standards such as GDPR and FINRA.
  • Always-on, AI-powered Automated Network Assistant expands HPE Aruba Networking Central’s AIOps capabilities by flagging optimization alerts to help boost productivity when performance issues are discovered.
  • Increased global points of presence (PoP) locations globally to ensure fast and efficient data routing for cloud-delivered HPE Aruba Networking Central, with dedicated instances in the U.S., Canada, the E.U., Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, and China.
  • Device telemetry data lake of more than 5.2 million devices managed and over 2 billion network devices served, representing a 30 percent and 100 percent year-over-year annualized growth rate respectively. With one of the industry’s largest data lakes, this expansion provides unique and anonymized telemetry data that powers HPE Aruba Networking Central’s advanced AI capabilities and models for predictive analytics and recommendations. This expansion includes the previously-announced AIOps capabilities that securely integrate multiple generative AI (GenAI) Large Language Models (LLMs).
  • Broadening availability of third-party observability with a new one-year subscription of the HPE Aruba Networking Central OpsRamp Extension license. This expands the previously-announced ability to natively monitor third-party devices from vendors such as Cisco, Arista, and Juniper Networks.
  • End-to-End telemetry to boost Microsoft Teams Quality of Experience for voice and video calls with native Teams integration, adding to HPE Aruba Networking Central’s ability to identify, troubleshoot, and elevate quality of service (QoS) call experiences in real time by correlating and actioning data received from the Teams integration.
  • Extensive Integration APIs allow sharing of full-stack network observability context, such as application, device location, and network device telemetry, along with other enterprise IT tools. By providing significant AI-powered telemetry insights observed from a data lake of more than two billion endpoints, HPE Aruba Network Central can be leveraged by other critical IT services as a major “source of truth” for network observability.

Since its introduction in 2014, HPE Aruba Networking Central has delivered increasingly powerful capabilities for configuring, managing, monitoring, and troubleshooting networks across wired and wireless LAN, WAN, and IoT, integrating functions throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure operations. Customers such as Nobu Hotels and the Netherlands’ Royal Jaarbeurs are enjoying HPE Aruba Networking Central’s unique and differentiated deployment flexibility. HPE Aruba Networking Central is primarily sold as an annual subscription with a two-tier licensing model (Foundation and Advanced) and is available from HPE channel partners, including via delivery in a managed service provider (MSP) model.
