Visualization with graphs is popular in the data analysis of Information Technology (IT) networks or computer networks. An IT network is often modelled as a graph with hosts being nodes and traffic being flows on many edges. General visualization methods are introduced in this paper. Applications and technology progress of visualization in IT network analysis and big data in IT network visualization are presented. The challenges of visualization and Big Data analytics in IT network visualization are also discussed. Big Data analytics with High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques, especially Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) helps accelerate IT network analysis and visualization.
