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.

Dell Technologies Transforms Data Center Operations with Software-Driven Disaggregated Infrastructure Innovations

  • Dell modern data center innovations form the foundation for a disaggregated infrastructure strategy
  • Dell storage and cyber resiliency enhancements help customers store and protect critical data with improved performance and efficiency
  • Dell software-driven advancements automate the management and deployment of private cloud and edge solutions

DELL TECHNOLOGIES WORLD – Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) helps customers design modern disaggregated data centers with storage, cyber resilience, software and integrated solution innovations.

Why it matters

Organizations face increasing demands to efficiently manage and secure both modern and traditional workloads across on-premises data centers, cloud and edge environments. IT and business needs keep changing, so the modern data center must be ready for anything. Dell’s approach to disaggregated infrastructure combines management of shared compute, networking and storage resource pools with software-driven automation, security and partner integrations.

Advanced storage and cyber resiliency capabilities

Dell storage and cyber resiliency advancements deliver the performance and protection that modern data centers need.

  • Dell PowerProtect Data Domain All-Flash appliances improve cyber resiliency with up to four times faster data restores1 and two times faster replication performance.2 They are more efficient, taking up 40%3 less rack space and saving up to 80% on power when compared to HDD systems.4
  • Dell PowerScale software advancements enhance object storage support and cyber resilience. The PowerScale Cybersecurity Suite offers comprehensive solutions to protect, access and recover critical data. Customers can boost application performance with Amazon EC2 cloud burst and reduce costs by backing up to Dell ObjectScale, Amazon S3 or Wasabi.
  • PowerStore Advanced Ransomware Detection helps organizations validate data integrity and minimize downtime from ransomware attacks using advanced AI analytics. The news comes as Dell celebrates PowerStore’s fifth anniversary and over 17,000 global customers.

Automate private cloud and edge operations

Dell software automates the deployment and management of disaggregated private cloud and edge solutions built with Dell’s industry-leading infrastructure and partner technologies.

Dell Private Cloud offers a new approach to deploying, managing and scaling private clouds built with cloud software from vendors like Broadcom, Nutanix and Red Hat on Dell disaggregated infrastructure. Organizations can protect their investment with reusable infrastructure, simplify operations with full lifecycle management and support customer choice with a catalog of validated blueprints. Automation helps customers provision a private cloud stack in 90% fewer steps than manual processes5, delivering a cluster in just two and a half hours with no manual effort.6

Dell Private Cloud is delivered using the Dell Automation Platform, a software platform designed to simplify how customers deploy and operate disaggregated solutions with secure, zero touch onboarding and centralized management.

“Dell Private Cloud has proven to be the right fit to helps us meet our business priorities,” said Keith Bradley, vice president, IT and Security, Nature Fresh Farms. “The flexibility to transition between cloud ecosystems and the ability to repurpose hardware is a game-changer for us by providing investment protection and enabling us to respond to evolving business needs quickly.”

New Dell NativeEdge features make it the most advanced and cost-effective solution for virtualized workloads at the edge and in remote branch offices.7 Critical data is protected and secured with policy-based load balancing, VM snapshots and backup and migration capabilities. Organizations can manage diverse edge environments consistently with non-Dell and legacy infrastructure support.

Perspectives

"At Dell Technologies, we’re defining the future architecture of the intelligent enterprise,” said Arthur Lewis, president, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell Technologies. “Our disaggregated infrastructure approach helps customers build secure, efficient modern data centers that turn data into intelligence and complexity into clarity.”
