That also assumes you have 10 users or less that would be using it ;)

I basically need a complete documentation system for our network infrastructure. -we have our network mapped in visio -we have our network monitored in intermapper -we have our network graphed in cacti -i'm working on creating a wiki type page for all devices that has some static info (like date put in service, a link to it's manual) and some dynamic info (like Tx frequency) -the devices all typically have a web config page I want to turn our visio maps into HTML so that you can click on the device and bring up it's wiki page that either links to all the other pages or includes the info on that wiki page etc. it seems like this is probably just a custom documentation database. When i search on the google there are systems kind of like this but they seem to be either too narrow minded (geared towards data center and server infrastructure) or too broad...nothing seems to be "just right" does something like this currently exist? what do you use to keep track of all this information? what would you recommend? Thanks! -Sean
