Orion Network Atlas overview
Included with the SolarWinds SAM bundle is Orion Network Atlas, which is designed to create a graphical representation of the geographical layout of networked buildings within an organization. It can also be used to create a network diagram for each location. Maps and diagrams can be printed for the purpose of documentation, and can be connected to the Orion web console, for a live visual depiction of nodes.
