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.

Teradata VantageCloud Delivers 427% ROI and 11-Month Payback, According to Nucleus Research ROI Guidebook

By: via Business Wire

Independent Research Demonstrates Strong Financial Returns and Accelerated AI Innovation for Teradata Customers

Teradata (NYSE: TDC) today announced the results of an independent return on investment (ROI) study conducted by Nucleus Research, a global provider of ROI-focused technology research and advisory services. The comprehensive analysis found that organizations using Teradata VantageCloud achieved an average ROI of 427% over three years, with an average annual benefit of $7.9 million and a payback period of just 11 months.

"The financial results demonstrate that enterprises can achieve substantial returns while modernizing their data infrastructure," said Alex Wurm, Senior Analyst at Nucleus Research. "Teradata's innovative approach combines cloud with hybrid flexibility and addresses the real-world constraints organizations face, delivering both immediate operational benefits and long-term strategic value."

To better understand the benefits and costs associated with an investment in Teradata VantageCloud, Nucleus conducted an in-depth ROI assessment of multiple customers across healthcare, insurance, and telecommunications organizations ranging from 5,000 to 45,000 employees. (Methodology details below.) On average, organizations realized:

  • Annual ROI: 427%
  • Payback Period: 11 months
  • Annual Benefit: $7,917,573

Other significant operational and performance benefits found in the study included:

  • Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiency: Eliminated costly hardware refresh cycles, with one telecommunications company saving $350K annually by avoiding a 7-year infrastructure upgrade. Administrative overhead was reduced by 43% through Teradata's fully managed service model, delivering annual direct cost savings of $735,000.
  • Enhanced Compute Performance: Data processing performance improved by 25% to 30%, while backup operations accelerated by 87% to 90% compared to traditional manual processes, allowing IT teams to redirect focus to higher-value strategic initiatives.
  • Accelerated AI and Machine Learning: Organizations achieved 26% to 75% faster model delivery times – reducing deployment from over a month to just one week in some cases. Existing models performed 10% to 15% better with ClearScape Analytics' comprehensive AI/ML platform.
  • Real-Time Business Impact: A healthcare provider serving over three million patients reduced integration timelines by 67% while merging previously siloed systems. A commercial insurer processing 200TB of data now processes a full day's worth of financial transactions in just 10 minutes, enabling real-time decision-making.

"By integrating Teradata's advanced analytics into our retention strategies, we're not just predicting customer churn – we’re preventing it. After transitioning to Teradata's ClearScape Analytics, our AI-driven churn modeling saw a 10-15% lift in accuracy," noted a telecommunications provider.
