Tom Sawyer Software's Network Layout Assistant brings sophisticated network device mapping facilities to Solstice SunNet Manager . The Network Layout Assistant works by reading the network information in your Solstice SunNet Manager database and automatically repositioning the device icons and their connections. For medium and large networks this can eliminate hours (even days) of icon dragging when creating or modifying network views.
You can lay out bus, tree, ring, star and mesh topologies via simple Network Layout Assistant dialogs. The results are clear readable views of your network that help you get the most out of your investment in Solstice SunNet Manager and the applications built on its framework.
The Network Layout Assistant Overview window provides a bird's-eye view of your entire network, helping you maintain perspective while scrolling through the Solstice SunNet Manager Console. No more getting lost when you scroll around in a large view. New printing support produces hard-copy output of entire network maps directly from the management station. Flexible PostScript output eliminates the need for multiple snapshot/ print/scroll on large views. The Network Layout Assistant is Solstice SunNet Manager Certified on both the Solaris 1.x and Solaris 2.x platforms. Tom Sawyer Software is a specialist in automated layout solutions for application software. Our Graph Layout Tool kit object positioning libraries are available for licensing by software vendors for bundling into their applications.
