This article is to solve the problems of disordered and complex architectural relationships in IT in the multi-level visualization of the IT system structure, and the relationship is not transparent and intuitive.3D visualization has its unique display advantages. By integrating the visualization concept into the IT architecture management process, Establish a multi-level visualization model of IT system structure, covering from the IT infrastructure level to the system application and business logic level, analyze location attributes, node types, rule attributes and relationship attributes, and present them in a three-dimensional visualization form to make IT internal structural relationships And the relationship between nodes is clear and intuitive.This article uses different layout algorithms such as hierarchical layout algorithm, circular distribution algorithm, star layout algorithm, etc.According to the different characteristics of the number of IT system nodes and node relationships, matching the corresponding layout algorithm makes the multi-level IT system visualization architecture more flexible.The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper can show the IT system structure simply and clearly, and match various complex business relationships more flexibly.
