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.

Rocket Software's GenAI Advancements for Hybrid Cloud Revolutionize Mainframe and Cloud Integration

WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocket Software, Inc. (“Rocket Software”), a global technology leader in modernization software, is advancing its mission of supporting enterprises at every stage of their modernization journey by expanding its Hybrid Cloud solutions to include cutting-edge generative AI (GenAI) functionality. These enhancements harness GenAI and automation to streamline the modernization of the business applications and data upon which businesses run. The goal of the new capabilities is to improve organizational agility and decision-making by unlocking the value of these applications and data, bridging them into hybrid cloud strategies.

Global enterprises recognize AI's role in enhancing efficiency and performance both in application modernization and in the broader scheme of enhancing organizational value. According to a 2024 Forrester survey commissioned by Rocket Software, 66% of respondents report that AI has significantly boosted efficiency in their IT modernization efforts, while 59% note improved technological capabilities for both employees and customers.

"A number of industries are facing increasing pressure to prioritize decision-making for operational performance and risk management," said Michael Curry, President of Data Modernization at Rocket Software. “The new and enhanced products in our Hybrid Cloud solution suite accelerate application understanding, streamline data integration, and enhance productivity. With over 34 years of experience, we have a unique vantage point from which we can help organizations unlock value from core business applications, while future-proofing operations.”

Rocket Software continues to enhance its Hybrid Cloud solutions, enabling customers to take advantage of scalable, cost-efficient GenAI and automation in a safe way, that prioritizes robust security and regulatory compliance. This reflects the company’s commitment to delivering customer value through innovation, evidenced by the introduction of new and upgraded products, including:

  • Rocket® Content Smart Chat: Provides a secure conversational AI interface for sensitive document access and querying, streamlining unstructured data classification, while ensuring regulatory compliance by keeping critical data in protected governance environments. Rocket Software was recognized as a Major Player in the 2024 IDC MarketScape for Intelligent Content Services, in part for its SmartChat Feature, underscoring its innovation in delivering intelligent, scalable, and AI-driven content services.

  • Rocket® Enterprise Suite: Provides an AI natural language assistant to facilitate code analysis and accelerate mainframe application modernization and cloud transitions, enhancing developer productivity by simplifying complex code and the migration to cloud-native environments. Enterprise Suite is a key capability in modernization solutions from major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) like Amazon Web Services® (AWS®), Google® Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft ®Azure®.

  • Rocket® Visual COBOL®: Employs an AI natural language assistant to simplify COBOL code understanding, modernize applications, and ensure seamless integration with hybrid cloud environments. This reduces the learning curve for developers, accelerating the modernization of distributed COBOL applications and integrating seamlessly with hybrid cloud infrastructures while preserving core business logic.

"Following the acquisition of AMC, Rocket Software is releasing new functionality in less than six months—an uncommon move in the industry where many mature software companies tend to slow down evolution after an acquisition,” said Peter Rutten, Research Vice-President, Performance Intensive Computing, IDC, “This rapid progression highlights Rocket's commitment to enhancing support for mainframe and distributed COBOL application modernization and re-platforming in alignment with hybrid cloud and migration strategies."

These new additions will join the company’s existing Hybrid Cloud solutions including Rocket® Data Intelligence, Rocket® Data Replicate and Sync, Rocket® Mobius®, Rocket® Cloud Connector, and Rocket® Data Virtualization, to round out the suite and further enhance end-to-end modernization and real-time data management.
