What Is graphTerrain?

graphTerrain is a product from Graphical Networks for general-purpose diagramming and collaboration
Graphical Networks was founded by former netViz employees in 2007 and is based in Bethesda, MD

graphTerrain Is An Affordable, Real-Time, Collaborative Solution:

• IT Documentation
• Network Mapping
• Enterprise Architecture
• Business Process Mapping
• And Much More!

graphTerrain Is A Windows SQL Server Licensed software:

• An administrative interface for catalog and user management
• A 100% web-based visualization engine for data management

Why Migrate From netViz To graphTerrain?

Retain All Your Catalog And Project Items

• Our netViz migration utility imports the entire catalog and project and retains the original coordinates with just a few clicks
• All icons, visual overrides and backgrounds are maintained
• All attributes and values are ported to graphTerrain’s database

Minimal Learning Curve

• It will take minutes for a netViz user to get familiar with graphTerrain’s navigation and overall feature-set.

Enterprise-Grade Scalability And Performance

• graphTerrain is faster, more scalable and more reliable than netViz

New Architecture And Technology

• graphTerrain uses new technologies and architecture paradigms

100% Web-Based Visualization

Simpler Licensing And More Flexible Pricing

Enterprise-Grade Scalability and performance

Real-Time

• graphTerrain reads and generates data on demand, directly from the SQL database. There is no refresh or publish process involved. Graphics and Database are always in synch in real-time

Virtually Unlimited Scalability

• Diagrams are generated dynamically and on the fly directly from the source, so there is no massive project that keeps growing. graphTerrain is as scalable as SQL Server is

Multiuser & Concurrent

• graphTerrain is multiuser and allows concurrent modification of diagram data as opposed to netViz’ single-user, file-based approach

More Stable And Reliable Than netViz

• Whether a deployment has 100 or 100 million nodes, diagrams are only rendered upon request, instead of loading an entire static project into memory, yielding a much more stable code (no more “segment violation errors”)

New Architecture and Technology

100% Native Web-Based Visualization

• No need to publish data to the web since it is natively web-based
• Richer web-based feature set

Streamlined “Project-Free” Architecture

• graphTerrain generates diagrams on the fly, concurrently and in real-time. There is no need for project synchronizations or reconcilliation of types as there is no project involved

Open Relational SQL-Based API And Data Structure

• graphTerrain is based on a standard SQL API and database instead of a proprietary C-tree file-based database and API

Modern .NET Based Technology

• graphTerrain is based on test-driven, agile methodologies and modern programming technologies
