Providing Visualization of System Architecture

A computer program product tangibly embodied on a non-transient computer readable medium for managing a display of a system architecture, the computer program product storing instructions operable when executed by a hardware processor to perform operations comprising:

• displaying a first visual representation of the system architecture, the first visual representation comprising respective virtual representations of at least two components of the system architecture at a first level of detail;
• displaying a first virtual representation of a semantically relevant connector that extends between the at least two components of the system architecture at the first level of detail, the semantically relevant connector defining a functional interaction between the at least two components of the system architecture;
• receiving a request from a user to display a second visual representation of the system architecture;
• and
• generating a second visual representation of the system architecture for display on a graphical user interface, the second visual representation of the system architecture comprising respective virtual representations of the at least two components of the system architecture at a second level of detail different than the first level of detail, and a second virtual representation of the semantically relevant connector that extends between the at least two components of the system architecture at the second level of detail.

A system of one or more computers configured to perform operations comprising:

• displaying a first visual representation of the system architecture, the first visual representation comprising respective virtual representations of at least two components of the system architecture at a first level of detail;
• displaying a first virtual representation of a semantically relevant connector that extends between the at least two components of the system architecture at the first level of detail, the semantically relevant connector defining a functional interaction between the at least two components of the system architecture;
• receiving a request from a user to display a second visual representation of the system architecture;
• and
• generating a second visual representation of the system architecture for display on a graphical user interface, the second visual representation of the system architecture comprising respective virtual representations of the at least two components of the system architecture at a second level of detail different than the first level of detail, and a second virtual representation of the semantically relevant connector that extends between the at least two components of the system architecture at the second level of detail.
