A controller of a large-scale information handling system (LIHS) includes a memory containing visual representations of architecture and sub-architecture associated with respective data center (DC) configurations. An interactive component-level visual monitoring and control (ICVMC) system includes a processor in communication with the component level monitors and the memory and includes an ICVMC module executing on the processor to receive identification information from one or more component-level monitors of a DC. The DC includes-functional components operationally configured and interconnected in a core architecture in a first DC configuration and monitored respectively by the one or more component-level monitors. The ICVMC module determines the first DC configuration and associated core architecture based on the received identification information. The ICVMC module generates graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for the DC based on the determined first DC configuration and the visual representation of architecture and sub-architectures associated with the first DC configuration.
