Sysonaut Beta: design data centers visually
We are opening up the Sysonaut Beta — an isometric editor for designing data-center and cloud infrastructure. Here is what you can do today.
Designing infrastructure usually means staring at YAML, boxes-and-arrows tools that were never meant for it, or a whiteboard photo nobody can edit. Sysonaut takes a different route: an isometric editor built specifically for data-center and cloud design — fast to sketch, precise enough to keep.
What you can do in the Beta
- System Designer — drop components onto an isometric canvas, connect them with smart links, and edit every property in the inspector.
- Component Designer — build your own components: layered shapes, icons on the top / front / side faces, and a dedicated 2D representation. Save them as SVG.
- Vendor icon packs — AWS, GCP and Azure, built in.
- Cloud workspaces — your Projects, Diagrams and component library follow you across devices.
- 2D & isometric — flip between a 3D-style model and a clean 2D schematic; ports and connections stay consistent across both.
- Export — CSV, JSON and SVG.
Why isometric?
A flat diagram tells you what connects to what. An isometric one also tells you how a system is stacked — racks, layers, zones — without drowning you in a full 3D modeller. It is the sweet spot between a napkin sketch and a CAD tool.
Where we are headed
The Beta is the foundation. Next up: validation and compatibility checks, then a hardware catalog so a "Firewall" can map to a concrete product. We will share each step here and in the Change Log.
