40,000 interactive nodes in a browser!
Enterprise data visualization with InfiView6

A prominent network corporation asked us to demo how InfiView can present in a browser, a large data set, stored on a remote server, while enabling users interaction.
InfiView is an Ajax Framework for Data Visualization (100% built in Bindows).

Features

* Display a graphical representation of a computer network with 40,000 nodes representing various network elements (servers, routers) connected with links
* Show two viewports, each showing different parts of the data
* Each viewport can be independently panned and zoomed
* Network elements can be moved (drag with the mouse)
* New links can be created
* Links can be created between nodes in different viewports

Implementation

The InfiView application is the view layer that runs in the browser. It uses client-side technologies like HTML, JavaScript, SVG and VML to render the graphical diagram.

The data for the network resides in a server-side database. The server exposes this data through a JSON web service interface.

We used JSON as the transfer format because it is a good fit for JavaScript web clients; However, XML could also be used.

The application takes advantage of InfiView’s memory management technology so that only the part of the network that is visible on the screen needs to be transferred over the network. As the user pans or zooms the viewport, InfiView intelligently fetches more data from the server as needed (and at the same time, releases unused data from memory).

The backend holds the network database, including the positions and properties of all the nodes, and the links between the nodes. It uses a spatial index to efficiently find all the nodes within a certain rectangle. The demo backend is implemented using the Grails framework.

MB Technologies’ InfiView(TM) - 1st Ajax Development Platform for Graphical Web Applications0
Ran posted in Beta Programs, InfiView, JavaScript on March 21st, 2007

AJAXWORLD, New York, NY March 21, 2007 — MB Technologies(TM) announced today the release of InfiView, the first development platform for creating interactive and dynamic graphical Ajax applications. InfiView advances the move toward web-based software by enabling developers to build infinite-sized Web 2.0 mind maps, network topologies, organization charts, LDAP tools and technical diagrams.

InfiView uses Ajax technology and its own unique dynamic memory management to enable developers to systematically create graphical web applications using any amount of data (from very small all the way to infinite). With InfiView-built web-applications, end-users seamlessly interact (pan, zoom, right-click for actions…) with all types of graphical data - such as network topologies, DNA sequences or genealogy charts - oblivious to the vast amounts of data available.

“People need to see data in the form of charts and diagrams in order to understand it,” said Yoram Meriaz, CEO at MB Technologies. “Up until now, there has not been a systematic solution for zero footprint diagramming. MB Technologies solved this problem by identifying shared mathematical characteristics behind each of these elements. InfiView is the framework that we built on top of this foundation to enable developers to expedite time to market with infinitely scalable graphical applications.”
