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 B2 Overdrive Named Winner of SiliconANGLE’s 2025 TechForward Awards

High-performance cloud storage solution recognized in Cloud Tech—Cloud Networking category for delivering terabit-speed throughput at breakthrough pricing

Backblaze, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLZE), the cloud storage innovator providing a modern alternative to traditional cloud providers, today announced that Backblaze B2 Overdrive has been named a winner of SiliconANGLE’s 2025 TechForward Awards in the Cloud Tech—Cloud Networking category.

The TechForward Awards honor both established enterprise solutions and breakthrough technologies defining the future of business, spanning AI innovation, security excellence, cloud transformation, data platform evolution, and blockchain/crypto tech.

B2 Overdrive is a high-performance cloud storage solution that delivers terabit-speed throughput starting at $15 per terabyte, significantly less than competitors. As such, this product eliminates the typical compromise between performance and economics for storage in data-intensive workloads, challenging the industry’s assumption that organizations must pay premium prices for premium performance. The solution features exceptional speed, zero egress fees, and private networking support for secure connections.

“This recognition validates our commitment to democratizing access to high-performance cloud infrastructure,” said David Ngo, Chief Product Officer at Backblaze. “B2 Overdrive represents a fundamental shift in the cloud storage paradigm—organizations no longer have to choose between performance and cost-effectiveness. By delivering terabit-speed capabilities at a fraction of traditional hyperscaler pricing, we’re enabling AI and high performance compute (HPC) workloads that were previously unattainable for many organizations.”

The solution supports diverse AI applications, ranging from training large language models that require access to massive datasets to generative AI workflows that demand rapid retrieval of media repositories.

“The TechForward Awards winners represent the best in enterprise tech innovation,” said Dave Vellante, co-founder and co-CEO of SiliconANGLE Media. "These solutions don’t just advance their categories, they define what's possible when breakthrough engineering meets real-world business challenges. Every winner has proven they can deliver game-changing results.”

The TechForward Awards provide more than just industry recognition, serving as a trusted guide for enterprise decision-makers by providing curated insights into the latest technologies solving today’s most pressing business challenges. Winners and finalists are featured in the SiliconANGLE TechForward Buyer’s Guide, a definitive resource that helps enterprise buyers evaluate market-leading solutions.
