In which application and how best to draw and structure applications in the corporate network?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon,
In which application and how best to draw and structure applications on the corporate network?
The following parameters are of interest:
- structure (network topology): servers, their location (DMZ, Local Network, Hosted, Local, TEST, STAGING, PROD)
- application type: Web Server, Windows Service, DB Server, SSIS, DTS
- the path of each applications and its interfaces (ports, connection with the 3rd party API, logins to databases, account parameters under which they work)
- interdependencies between them, so that you can then find what is on this server (applications, databases, services), what depends on what ( what works with this database), who is subscribed to this interface...
I just can’t think of a way to visualize all this and how to support it later. With a fleet of ~ 20 servers, ~ 40 applications and ~ 180 services plus a myriad of SSIS and DTS (well, about 300, most likely), tables in word and excel with visio do not look very convenient in presentation, not to mention up-to-date support.
I will be glad to advise in which direction to look for answers.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Answer 1

The easiest way is probably in the wiki (twiki or redmine for example) to keep the server cards. Screw www.graphviz.org to it
, for example, a very good article - cumulusnetworks.com/blog/complex-topology-and-wiri... and here itsecworks.com/2012/03/16/networking-topology-with. ..
It is advisable to take into account that you need to do several pictures with different degrees of detail and different levels - physical, logical, network, switching, etc.
To the heap - blog.zabbix.com/maps-for-the-lazy/2898

Answer 2

Microsoft Visio is here to help! In addition to the extensive library of objects that comes with the installation, it is possible to download them from the Microsoft website. If religion does not tell you to use Microsoft products - such functionality was once in the SmartDraw package...
