About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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.

Enterprises Enhance Privacy, Security and Control with Rackspace Technology’s OpenStack Business Private Cloud

SAN ANTONIO, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end hybrid cloud and AI solutions company, today announced the launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business, a new, open source, dedicated private cloud for organizations running mission-critical or regulated workloads. This fully-managed solution delivers improved performance, enhanced security, and full operational support without the burden of managing infrastructure.

Built for scalability, Rackspace OpenStack Business offers a cost-effective cloud solution centered around privacy, security and control. This launch expands Rackspace’s leadership in open-source private cloud by delivering dedicated, secure OpenStack infrastructure while meeting the growing demand from enterprises seeking control without compromise or vendor lock-in.

Rackspace OpenStack Business supports a broad range of use cases for organizations focused on application development and cloud modernization.

Delivered as a fully-managed open source platform, it provides businesses the freedom to modernize on their terms.”

The launch of Rackspace OpenStack Business builds on the success of Rackspace OpenStack Flex which was introduced in 2024 as a cost-effective, flexible private cloud alternative to hyperscalers and proprietary platforms. Designed to work seamlessly together, Rackspace OpenStack Business provides a stable foundation for steady-state workloads, while OpenStack Flex enables rapid scaling during peak demand, delivering the elasticity of the public cloud without sacrificing the benefits of a secure, dedicated private environment.

“With this latest offering, Rackspace expands its leadership in open-source private cloud by delivering open source dedicated and secure OpenStack infrastructure to meet the growing demand for greater control without compromise,” said Josh Villarreal, General Manager, OpenStack, Rackspace Technology. “Together, Rackspace OpenStack Flex and OpenStack Business provide a powerful foundation for building scalable hybrid cloud environments. This combination helps organizations address key IT challenges, including cost control, data privacy, performance consistency, and avoiding vendor lock-in.”
