1. Efficient drawing tool
The traditional architecture diagram is difficult to maintain, change and find, and what is more serious is that it is seriously out of touch with real-time running data. DMV provides an online editor with a complete drawing toolbox and a rich set of IT component icons. Users can draw views freely and quickly according to icons, configuration data, label data and other objects. Through the close combination with data, the ability of combination of drawings and numbers and two-way verification is realized, and the accuracy and practicability of architectural drawings are improved.
2. Data-driven automatic drawing
In the past, the architecture diagram and data information often appear unsynchronized, and the information of the architecture diagram lags behind the real data seriously, which leads to the difficulty of architecture diagram management and low value. The powerful architecture drawing tool DMV provides the ability of data-driven architecture drawing, automatically generates views according to configuration, labels and templates, and realizes the visualization of architecture management. The view topological relationship is updated irregularly according to data changes, and the latest data topological architecture diagram is provided for users in time.
3. Flexible view combination and drilling
The traditional architecture diagram is separated, and it is difficult to communicate between logical architecture diagram and physical architecture diagram, application architecture diagram and network topology diagram, so it is difficult for users to obtain IT panoramic information related to application or management scenarios. DMV provides flexible view combination and drilling ability. Operation and maintenance personnel can not only assemble a plurality of architecture diagrams of different fields and levels into a combined view for easy viewing, but also establish the relationship between diagrams by setting the association relationship between CI objects and architecture diagrams, so as to quickly shuttle through the jungle of IT components, identify IT systems more intuitively, comprehensively and efficiently, improve the efficiency of operation and maintenance management such as fault diagnosis and impact analysis, and better manage IT systems.
4. Team-based collaboration and sharing
A complex architecture diagram may need many people to participate in drawing, and DMV provides the ability of "online collaboration". Users can publish unfinished architecture diagrams to the team, so that other team members can collaborate to enrich the architecture diagrams. After the view is drawn, users set access rights and publish the view to the "shared portal" for authorized members in the organization to retrieve and consult, which improves the practicability of the architecture diagram.
5. Strong version management
In order to solve the problem that the architecture diagram has been changed many times without records and is different from the current version, DMV provides the version management function of the architecture diagram. By comparing the version history, the evolution trend of system architecture can be clearly presented to users and traced back to a specific version in history. Through view snapshots, you can record every change in the architecture diagram. Through data comparison, we can analyze the data differences of the architecture diagram.
6. Rich information display
The information on the traditional IT architecture diagram is often only icons, links and short text notes, which are limited and thin. DMV can combine the architecture diagram with the real-time data of IT operation and maintenance management, and can view the configuration, monitoring status, work orders, related plans and other information of an IT component in the architecture diagram, thus expanding the usage scenarios of the architecture diagram and enhancing its use value. For example, the architecture diagram can play a more important role in capacity planning, fault analysis and management coverage analysis.
