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.

Keepit and Leading B2B Platform Company Ingram Micro Announce Strategic Go-to-Market Relationship in Canada

New Canadian alliance broadens the IT channel’s access to Keepit’s innovative SaaS data protection services

Keepit, a global provider of a comprehensive cloud backup and recovery platforms, today announced that it has teamed with Ingram Micro, a leading business-to-business platform company for the global technology ecosystem, to strengthen its position in the Canadian market as a premium global provider of SaaS data protection solutions and services.

The new go-to-market relationship is designed to bolster Keepit’s channel growth strategy in Canada. Value-added resellers (VARs), managed service providers (MSPs), and managed security service partners (MSSPs) can benefit from Keepit’s vendor-independent cloud solution for data backup and recovery through the Ingram Micro Xvantage™ digital experience platform.

Keepit operates its own data centers in Canada, completely independent of global hyperscalers. This gives Canadian businesses full data sovereignty and a storage solution that’s always compliant with Canadian laws and regulations—whether they operate solely in Canada or across borders. Keepit is also the only backup and recovery provider in the region that guarantees customer data stays in place, with no middleware transmissions outside the region.

Ingram Micro, which has the ability to reach nearly 90% of the global population, will assist in marketing, selling, and supporting the Keepit portfolio while enhancing flexibility in purchasing and financing solutions that incorporate Keepit’s SaaS data protection services.

“As Canadian organizations increasingly seek secure and scalable SaaS data protection, our new alliance with Keepit brings a robust, cloud-native solution to Ingram Micro’s Network and Security portfolio,” said Alistair Edmondson, Director Advanced Solutions at Ingram Micro Canada. “This collaboration empowers our Canadian channel partners to better safeguard their customers’ critical business applications, enhance cyber resilience, and ensure long-term data protection readiness across the country.”

The surge in SaaS application usage, coupled with the exponential increase in data creation, has ushered in an era where businesses are constantly at the mercy of cyberthreats and evolving data compliance regulations. The relationship with Ingram Micro highlights Keepit’s commitment to providing the fastest, most secure, and most efficient service to its expanding Canadian customer base, while also demonstrating the significant growth of its global network.

"The need for secure, scalable SaaS data protection is more critical than ever. Our relationship with Ingram Micro will help expand our Canadian footprint, elevate Keepit’s partner engagement commitment, and help take our channel business to the next level,” said Fahad Qureshi, Vice President of Sales for America and ANZ at Keepit. “As the importance of data security continues to rise, this agreement will provide channel partners with a new and effective way to procure our technology and better support their business growth."
