Do you need a program for visual modeling of IT infrastructure, are there any?

The program is needed for IT architects and system administrators.
Essence:

  1. Description of all infrastructure levels
    1. Hardware level
      • Switches, routers
      • Storage, expansion units
      • Servers


    2. Virtualization Layer - Hypervisors
      • Hiper V
      • VMware


    3. Guest OS level
      • Windows
      • Unix-like


    4. Server software layer
      • DBMS
      • Backup systems
      • File storage
      • Mail servers (ms exchange)
      • etc.

    5. Business Application Layer
      • 1C
      • Microsoft Dynamics
      • SAP
      • SharePoint
      • etc.


    6. Integration level
      • Point to point integration
      • Integrations via ESB




  2. Ability to build connections
    I.e. graphically display where the information flow goes from where to.

  3. Possibility of interactive transition from level to level
    Ie . by clicking on the visual display of one service, either fall into its properties, or go down to the level below to see which piece of iron it lies on.

  4. The ability to quickly make changes
    I.e. you can always add a node or remove it, without spending several hours redrawing everything and adding new links

  5. Convenient and understandable graphical display, so that not only an IT specialist can understand.

I spent a lot of time looking for such software and solutions, but all of them, like Visio, one way or another, at the slightest change, you need to redraw everything manually, and if there are over 100 actively changing systems, and everywhere there is a database, an application server, a web muzzle, then redraw becomes too labor intensive.
