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.

Espoo, Finland – Nokia has been selected by Nscale, the hyperscaler engineered for AI, to deliver an IP network solution to support AI workloads at Nscale’s new data center in Stavanger, Norway. The data center, which is powered entirely by renewable energy and optimised for energy-efficient cooling, will enable cutting-edge AI services, including Graphics Processing Unit as a Service (GPUaaS), a technology which Nscale is a global leader in.

With a growing global demand for AI-driven applications that consume a large amount of data, Nscale required a reliable, high-performance network to support training and inferencing on large-scale GPU clusters. Nokia’s Ethernet-based data center fabric provides scalability, programmability, and low-latency performance - essential for handling the rigorous demands of AI workloads across industries including education, healthcare, government and finance.

David Power, CTO at Nscale, said: “Our mission is to redefine the boundaries of AI and High-Performance Computing through innovative, sustainable solutions. Nokia’s data center fabric enables us to scale our GPU clusters while maintaining the reliability and performance needed to serve our customers with cutting-edge AI services. The flexibility of Nokia’s solution ensures we can bring advanced AI capabilities to market faster.”

Paul Alexander, Vice President and Country General Manager UK&I at Nokia, said: “As a hyperscaler, Nscale is already delivering turnkey AI development and deployment solutions to businesses worldwide. With support from Nokia, the path to accessible and transformative AI innovation has never been easier. By combining advanced Ethernet technology with sustainability, we are helping Nscale deliver world-class AI services while supporting its commitment to renewable energy and environmental responsibility.”

The solution, based on Nokia’s 7220 IXR and 7750 SR platforms, is designed with the most modern, open, and programmable architectures to ensure ultra-reliability, seamless automation and adaptability.

Nokia is helping cloud builders worldwide to build modern data center networks that are highly reliable, secure and easy to operate – which is essential to meet the growing demands of AI workloads worldwide.
