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.

Qlik Adds Native Support for Snowflake Managed Iceberg Tables, Expands Open Lakehouse Options for Snowflake Customers

New capabilities enable real-time data streaming, Iceberg optimization, and AI-ready architectures for faster, more cost-effective insights

Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, data quality, analytics, and artificial intelligence, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2025, the launch of native support for Snowflake-managed Apache Iceberg™ tables, enabling fast, open-format data pipelines directly into Snowflake’s highly performant, governed environment. Alongside this, Qlik is introducing additional capabilities that allow customers to leverage Qlik Open Lakehouse, powered by Apache Iceberg, in conjunction with Snowflake for greater architectural flexibility and AI scalability.

These advancements are designed to help Snowflake customers reduce latency, optimize storage and compute efficiency, and accelerate the development of AI-powered applications, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) via Snowflake Cortex AI.

Newly announced capabilities include:

  • Native Streaming to Snowflake-managed Iceberg Tables: Qlik Talend Cloud® now supports continuous change data capture (CDC) from enterprise systems directly into Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables, enabling low-latency ingestion supporting strict business SLAs for analytics and AI use cases.
  • Qlik Open Lakehouse Optimization & Mirroring: Qlik Open Lakehouse combines low-latency ingestion into Apache Iceberg tables with an automated optimizer that manages compactions, partitioning, and pruning in S3—delivering faster queries and a reduced storage footprint without manual tuning. It also mirrors Iceberg data back into Snowflake for downstream transformations without duplicating data.
  • One-Click Data Products with In-Snowflake Quality Execution: Qlik data products can be generated directly within customers’ Snowflake ecosystems, leveraging the Qlik Talend Trust Score™ to push down data quality computation in Snowflake—enabling teams to produce governed, high-quality outputs that elevate the value of curated assets.
  • Knowledge Mart for RAG on Snowflake Cortex: Qlik’s Knowledge Mart transforms structured and unstructured content—including PDFs, call transcripts, and relational records—into AI-ready vectorized assets in Snowflake, powering retrieval-augmented generation pipelines through Cortex with full explainability and governance.

“Open standards like Apache Iceberg are foundational to an interoperable data stack, including both Qlik and Snowflake,” said Saurin Shah, Senior Product Manager, Data Engineering at Snowflake. “By combining real-time ingestion, automated optimization, and Cortex-ready AI pipelines, Qlik, together with Snowflake, helps customers accelerate time to insight while maximizing the value of their data investments.”

“The integration between Qlik and Snowflake has transformed how we manage and operationalize data,” said Michael Benassi, Vice President of Enterprise Analytics at United Federal Credit Union. “By operationalizing near real-time data ingestion and streamlined engineering pipelines, we’re able to scale insights across the business and support faster, more trusted AI initiatives.”

“This launch gives our joint customers the power to do more with their Snowflake investment,” said David Zember, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channels and Alliances at Qlik. “By combining Qlik’s real-time ingestion and Iceberg optimization with native Snowflake governance, we’re unlocking a smarter path to analytics and AI that’s as open as it is scalable.”

The new Qlik capabilities are now available in private preview, with general availability targeted in July 2025. To request early access, see a live demo, or speak with Qlik product experts, visit booth #1219 at Snowflake Summit 2025 or visit us online.
