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.

AI Where the Data Lives – Q&A; with Jose Carlos Moreira, HL Tech Group LLC

Insights on Oracle Database 23ai, Vector Search, RAG, and the future of enterprise AI

NEW YORK - Aug. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Why has AI become a central topic inside the Oracle Database?
A: Oracle Database 23ai brought AI into the database itself. The new AI Vector Search feature enables similarity search on text, images, and other unstructured data alongside traditional corporate data — without ETL to a separate vector DB. The result is lower latency, reduced risk, and native governance.

Does this change the architecture for RAG applications?
A: With 23ai you can index embeddings directly in Oracle and run RAG without moving sensitive data. On OCI, GenAI Agents can orchestrate RAG calls and similarity searches directly on 23ai — adding automation that accelerates time-to-value.

Where does the Autonomous Database fit in?
A: The Autonomous Database already runs 23ai on OCI and in multicloud environments like Database@Azure, simplifying operations and generative development (GenDev). For smaller teams, Oracle Database 23ai Free has become a great sandbox for prototyping Vector Search and JSON Relational Duality without license cost.

What recent multicloud moves matter for enterprise AI?
A: The big highlight is Oracle Database@Google Cloud. The partnership evolved from GA in 2024 to a joint program in 2025, now with Exadata X11M support and regional expansion. This enables scenarios where your transactional data stays in Oracle, and you integrate natively with Google's AI tools (Vertex AI, Gemini), while maintaining corporate-grade support and governance.

What about foundation models on OCI?
A: OCI Generative AI is expanding quickly (new regions like Phoenix launched in July 2025). It's gained security guardrails, tool-use integration for external services, and support for model families like Llama 3.1 (including quantized versions), plus playgrounds and samples for LangChain/LlamaIndex. This shortens the path from POC to production in regulated environments.

Are companies already seeing results?
A: Yes. One public example is Sphere, which built and launched AI apps on OCI in 45 days using Autonomous Database on 23ai. It's not an isolated case; we're seeing much shorter delivery cycles when the data never leaves the database perimeter.

What is the current market context?
A: The appetite for AI capability continues to drive cloud growth and partnerships. Oracle has been in announcements related to model training with NVIDIA and cross-cloud integrations (Azure/Google). This explains optimistic guidance and investor interest — and reinforces that enterprise AI is a game of data + compute + governance.

In one sentence, what's the thesis?
A: Bring AI to where the data lives. When vectors, queries, and policies live in the same place, you move faster, reduce risk, and lower TCO — without sacrificing RAG/GenAI performance.
