Modeling
Fabrica's Open Modeler Architecture (OMA) and support for Microsoft Visio enables you to leverage existing skills and easily engage subject-matter experts in creating realistic, authentic models based on standard notations. An extensive choice of supported modelers ensures that architects, analysts, and operations managers can use existing design tools throughout the entire service model lifecycle.
Modeling in Visio An estimated 80% of IT organizations rely on Microsoft Visio for infrastructure mapping and dependency modeling. Now these Visio diagrams can be easily converted into real-time visualizations. The relationships between diagram shapes and OpenView-defined resources can be configured directly in Visio, thereby streamlining the modeling process. The operational status of application components and linked resources is dynamically illustrated by manipulating various shape properties such as colors, shadows, borders, and native overlay icons.
Leveraging Standards Experts and beginners alike can maximize their productivity by assembling views from an extensive collection of Visio stencils available for hardware, software, data center, and architectural design. Over 5,000 vendor-authored drag-and-drop stencils enable users to create professional grade graphics with an authentic level of detail. Compared with bitmap images and Java applets, the implementation of vector graphics in Fabrica delivers high information density at any zoom level. Additional enhancements include panning, layer masking, highlighting, and search capabilities. Built-in support for UML and BPMN ensures a standardized exchange of information both within and outside the IT organization.
