Holori architecture diagram software to manage your infra
Easily create architecture diagrams and turn them into live cloud infrastructure.
Why using an architecture diagramming software?
Following all the elements within your cloud environment can be challenging, but a visual diagram of your cloud architecture will help you stay up to date with its status, understand the relationship between components, identify and solve problems. This complexity adds up when multiple team members are working on the same project. A collaborative cloud diagramming sofware could help to pinpoint information and ensure that everybody is on the same page.
Create/import your infra
Visually design your infrastructure using generic icons, shapes, arrows and other customizable components. Easily drag and drop elements from the left nav bar to the grid. Create arrows to connect elements and illustrate data flows. A rich set of formating tools are available and when needed you can import specific shapes or pick them from our large template library. If needed cloud providers icons are also available when some elements need to be provider specific.
Use tags to make the most out of your architecture diagram
Directly tag your components on the diagram. When selecting an element in your architecture diagram, a pop-up will allow you to add metadata for critical elements requiring extra details to be understood. This metadata can contain details such as security, constraints, requirements, version, location… This information will increment your Terraform script to provision your infrastructure accordingly.
Visualize your infrastructure at a glance
A picture is worth a thousand words, whether you are a cloud architect, a dev, devops or IT… architectural diagrams simplify the understanding of complex IT infrastructures. The visualization helps you to understand dependencies across complex infrastructures, relationship between elements, data traffic input and output, security concerns, boundaries, networks, interoperability etc. As the IT infra is constantly evolving, your diagram will always be up-to-date with the latest information.

You can manually change cloud providers services, locations, VM size, commitment etc. and try different alternatives to find the best mix of price and performance for your infrastructure. You can also enter your on premise costs and use Holori tool to compare cloud providers costs versus on premise costs. Holori cloud diagram app is linked to Holori cloud calculator which centralizes all cloud providers services and price. Prices are updated on a regular basis.Holori cloud diagram app is linked to Holori cloud calculator which centralizes all cloud providers services and price. Prices are updated on a regular basis.
