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.

Rubrik Is Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Backup and Data Protection Platforms

Six years running: Cybersecurity company positioned furthest in Vision in this year’s report

Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK), the cybersecurity company, has been recognized by Gartner Inc. as a Leader and positioned furthest in Vision in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms. Today’s announcement comes on the heels of Rubrik entering an agreement to acquire Predibase to accelerate agentic AI adoption.

“Cyber resilience is the future of cybersecurity. Between increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and data sprawl across hybrid environments, the stakes are only getting higher,” said Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman, and Co-founder of Rubrik. “Organizations today require more than legacy backup - they need preemptive recovery capabilities and identity resilience to stay ahead of cyber threats. We believe our position as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant validates our comprehensive approach to cyber resilience across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises data. We feel this recognition underscores our commitment to protecting our customers’ data, enabling secure GenAI innovation, and safeguarding more than 6,000 organizations worldwide.”

As we found in the report, backup and data protection platforms vendors are continually enhancing their backup offerings to improve enterprise data protection across multicloud, SaaS and data center environments. These are all critical components to meet evolving customer needs.

Strategic planning assumptions by Gartner in the report include1:

  • “By 2029, 75% of enterprises will use a common solution for backup and recovery of data residing on-premises and in cloud infrastructure, compared with 25% in 2025.”
  • “By 2029, 80% of enterprises will prioritize backup of SaaS applications as a critical requirement, compared with 20% in 2025.”
  • “By 2029, 95% of backup and data protection platforms products will include embedded technology to detect and identify cyberthreats, compared with 55% in 2025.”
  • “By 2029, 90% of backup and data protection platforms products will integrate generative AI (GenAI) to improve management and support operations, compared with fewer than 25% in 2025.”
  • “By 2029, 35% of enterprises will implement agentic AI capabilities to perform autonomous backup operations, up from less than 2% in 2025.”
