Network organization chart

"A computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network. ...
Depending on whether the diagram is intended for formal or informal use, certain details may be lacking and must be determined from context. ...
At different scales diagrams may represent various levels of network granularity. At the LAN level, individual nodes may represent individual physical devices, such as hubs or file servers, while at the WAN level, individual nodes may represent entire cities. In addition, when the scope of a diagram crosses the common LAN/ MAN/ WAN boundaries, representative hypothetical devices may be depicted instead of showing all actually existing nodes." [Computer network diagram. Wikipedia]
The Cisco computer network diagram example "Network organization chart" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Cisco Network Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Each "slice" depicts the It reflects the proportion of each component in the whole "pie". This type of chart is most often used for the visualization of statistical data. That is why pie charts are widely used in marketing. As the pie charts show proportional parts of a whole, they are good for various visual comparisons. For example, it is difficult to imagine a more intuitive way to show segmentation and market share. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw a simple and clear Pie Chart using the Pie Charts solution.
