I'm looking for some recommendations on the best software to use for creating diagrams of your virtual infrastructure. In the past, working with Visio, I have not seemed to find icons that represent well things like virtual machines, ESX servers, virtual switches, datastores, and so on. Are they in Visio but I just am either not looking in the right place or need to download add-ins to use them?
Alternatively, is there some other either free or cheap software that will allow me to do simple diagrams of the datacenter, including vms, ESX hosts, vswitches, physical switches and routers, firewalls, cables, wan connections, datastores, and so on?
Preferable something that can work interchangably with standard file formats - which is able to open and read and create the commonly used file types for diagrams. I want to stay away from something that has its own file format not compatible with the rest of the world.
