About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Informatica Enters into New Strategic Agreement with Microsoft to Accelerate Customer Adoption

Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, today announced a strategic agreement with Microsoft. This milestone extends the long-standing collaboration between the two companies, continuing innovation and customer adoption on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. The announcements were made at Informatica World, the company’s annual data management and AI conference held in Las Vegas.

Informatica and Microsoft are working closely to deliver unified, AI-powered solutions that combine Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud™ platform with key Microsoft services, including Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft Azure. Informatica’s cloud data management platform is available as a SaaS offering on Azure and via Azure Marketplace, enabling customers to build a trusted, secure and innovative data foundation to power their analytics and AI-driven business transformations.

“As enterprises increasingly prioritize trusted data to fuel responsible AI, agents and next-generation analytics, Informatica and Microsoft are jointly committed to empowering our customers as they continue on their cloud and AI transformation journey,” said Amit Walia, CEO at Informatica. “This strategic agreement reflects our shared vision to drive customer success through co-innovation, go-to-market alignment and deep-field collaboration, helping organizations securely and efficiently scale AI across their data estate.”

Building on years of successful collaboration—including Informatica’s integration with Microsoft Power BI, Azure Synapse, Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and Azure Cosmos DB —this agreement represents another milestone in a multi-decade collaboration between Informatica and Microsoft.

Recent innovations where Informatica has closely worked with Microsoft include:

  • Informatica’s cloud data management platform as an Azure Native Service: Streamlining the customer experience with seamless Azure integrations.
  • Design partner for Microsoft Fabric providing strong connectivity, data integration and intelligent scanning capabilities.
  • GenAI blueprint for Azure OpenAI Service: Accelerating development and deployment of enterprise-grade GenAI and copilot experiences using Informatica’s Cloud Data Management Platform and Azure OpenAI Service.

Jotun is one of the world's leading paint and coating manufacturers with a presence in over 100 countries. Gro Kamfjord, Head of Data at Jotun, explains their decision to partner with Informatica, stating: “Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform seamlessly integrates with Jotun's existing Microsoft ecosystem, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Fabric. Their advice was to think platform first, instead of choosing disparate point solutions and then trying to stitch them together."

“Microsoft and Informatica share a deep commitment to accelerating innovation for our customers with trusted solutions across next-generation data analytics and AI workloads,” said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President, Cloud + AI Group, Microsoft. “Using Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform, combined with the unified data and analytics platform experience of Microsoft Fabric and scale of Microsoft Azure, organizations will have a holistic view of their data estate and dramatically reduce time to value.”

As a testament to the strength of this collaboration, global enterprises like KPMG, OMERS, Paycor, and Jotun rely on Informatica’s cloud platform on Azure to power their mission-critical data strategies.

The announcement of this agreement further cements Informatica’s commitment to joint go-to-market with Microsoft, addressing the evolving data management needs of joint customers in the era of AI.
