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.

Backblaze Fuels Open Cloud Revolution with Data Region Expansion, Doubling Down on High-Performance Storage for AI, High Performance Compute (HPC), and Media Workflows

Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the cloud storage innovator providing a modern alternative to traditional cloud providers, today announced a significant expansion of its data center presence in its US-East region. This strategic growth further strengthens Backblaze's commitment to the open cloud and enhances the high-speed data transfer capabilities available for B2 Overdrive customers, the Backblaze Cloud Storage platform, and members of the Internet2 community.

With this expansion, Backblaze adds more capacity for complex workflows, especially those leveraging AI, high-performance compute (HPC), and media and entertainment. Enterprises leveraging these technologies have increasingly felt the pressure of walled garden pricing structures that limit their capabilities and growth, driving the shift to a true multi-cloud architecture that leverages best-of-breed providers like Backblaze.

Doubling the data footprint in Backblaze’s US-East region expands their ability to meet growing demand. This investment underscores Backblaze's dedication to providing customers with geographically diverse options for data storage, high performance cloud storage, and cloud-first disaster recovery strategies. The expanded capacity is also connected to Internet2’s network as part of the Internet2 peer exchange (I2PX), which means it is designed to enable Internet2 members to move data in and out of Backblaze US-East and US-West regions at incredibly high speeds.

"Expanding our US-East presence is a significant step for our open cloud vision," said Gleb Budman, CEO of Backblaze. "We're all about giving customers the freedom to pick the best service providers for their needs, instead of getting stuck in those complicated, and often pricey, hyperscaler systems that hit you with surprise charges. This expansion helps us deliver more amazing cloud storage performance with best-of-breed flexibility."
