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.

CrashPlan Integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage Offers Enterprise-Grade Disaster Recovery

Data resiliency platform restores complete Microsoft 365 workloads in minutes, with recovery speeds of up to two terabytes per hour

CrashPlan, a leader in cyber-ready data resilience and governance, today announced its integration with Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, enabling enterprises to rapidly restore large amounts of data with 10-minute recovery points and speeds of up to two terabytes (TB) per hour at scale while maintaining control over their data through a single, unified platform.

More than two-thirds of organizations are targeted by ransomware. CrashPlan's integration Microsoft 365 Backup Storage is designed to protect industries with high-value, compliance-sensitive data that require stringent Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). Without proper backup and recovery capabilities, businesses face operational, legal, and financial consequences from data loss events.

"When enterprises face large-scale data loss, every minute counts. Downtime due to incidents, whether cyber related or other unforeseen circumstances, isn't just disruptive—it's a direct threat to revenue, compliance, and reputation. The CrashPlan Microsoft 365 Backup Storage integration transforms recovery from hours or days into minutes, without adding operational burden,” said Dan Beer, CEO of CrashPlan.

Microsoft 365 Backup Storage enables high-performance, full asset restores across Microsoft Exchange Online, OneDrive, and SharePoint—optimized for use cases like ransomware attacks where rapid recovery of entire workloads is required. Rather than managing separate interfaces or tools, enterprise IT teams can now operate within the CrashPlan platform to orchestrate both large-scale restores via Microsoft 365 Backup Storage and granular restores and search via CrashPlan’s existing Microsoft 365 capabilities. Together, these functions support a layered, risk-aware data protection model.

Key benefits include:

  • Accelerate Recovery at Scale Restore full Microsoft 365 assets for selected users at up to 2TB per hour—reducing time to recover from ransomware or any data loss event.
  • One Console, Full Coverage – No need for disparate tools; you can manage everyday data protection and disaster recovery through the CrashPlan console your team already uses.
  • Enterprise Security & Governance – Compliance is baked in, with integrated support for SSO, role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and policy-based user management.
  • Microsoft-Trusted Recovery Infrastructure – Built directly on the native Microsoft 365 Backup Storage architecture, this integration leverages infrastructure trusted by the world’s largest organizations to ensure enterprise-grade performance.

CrashPlan’s SaaS solution is hosted in Microsoft Azure and not only secures Microsoft 365 environments, but also enhances user and admin workflows with built-in capabilities such as self-service recovery, legal hold and granular search across Microsoft 365, endpoint, and server data.

“CrashPlan is committed to delivering cost effective, secure, and scalable data protection across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem,” said Randy De Meno, VP Business Development & Microsoft Practice at CrashPlan. “Our platform is built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity—so businesses can stay focused on growth, not recovery. Organizations using Microsoft 365 can leverage CrashPlan knowing they have a modern SaaS solution using the latest Microsoft infrastructure to best protect and manage their data.”

As a preferred Microsoft vendor, CrashPlan complements the shared responsibility model by extending data protection beyond the standard 30–90-day retention periods. This new integration represents a deepening of this collaboration, using Microsoft's trusted infrastructure to deliver rapid disaster recovery capabilities for the world's largest organizations.

“With this integration, CrashPlan has taken a major step in helping our joint customers promptly recover operations after cyber incidents. We look forward to continuing to work together with them to enhance the resilience of customer data,” said Microsoft’s Brad Gussin, Principal Group Product Manager, Microsoft 365 Backup.
