Reports

The reports that the MAP Toolkit prepares are Microsoft® Office Excel® workbooks. These reports provide detailed hardware and software inventory information about the client computers and servers in your environment. Most reports have a companion proposal. Unless otherwise indicated, these reports are generated by the Inventory and Assessment Wizard.

The SQL Server® Database Details report provides detailed information about SQL Server® instances, databases, and users in your environment.

·         MySQL, Oracle and Sybase Discovery: Discovers and inventories MySQL, Oracle and Sybase servers on Windows and Linux computers in your environment and reports details about databases running on those servers. It will also discover Oracle servers that are installed on HP-UX.

·         Office 2010 Assessment: Summarizes the readiness of each inventoried computer for migration to Microsoft® Office 2010. Describes the Microsoft® Office products installed on each computer and the version(s) of those products that are installed.

·         Office 365 Assessment: Summarizes the overall readiness of the client machines for an upgrade to Office 365. Describes the Microsoft® Office products installed on each computer and the version(s) that are installed.

·         Performance Metrics Results: This report is generated using the Performance Metrics Wizard. It provides detailed statistics and information discovered during performance monitoring of selected servers. The statistics are provided for processor, network, memory, physical disk, and logical disk utilization for each selected server. The report is provided so you can ensure that performance monitoring completed successfully and to validate the performance collection statistics.

·         Server Consolidation and Virtualization Recommendations: This assessment is generated using the Server Consolidation Wizard. Provides detailed information about the host machine configured in the wizard, consolidation recommendations based on that model, utilization of servers before and after virtualization, and why particular physical computers may not have been placed on the host machine.

·         Virtualization ROI: This XML file is generated using the Server Consolidation Wizard. Provides information that can be imported into the Microsoft® Private Cloud Economics Tool.

·         Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track Consolidation Recommendations: This report is generated using the Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track wizard. This report provides summary and detailed results of the sizing and placement of workloads on the Fast Track infrastructure – both base and maximum configuration results are included.

·         Security Assessment: Provides a list of those physical computers and virtual machines within your environment that do not have a firewall, antivirus, or antispyware product installed, enabled, and running properly as reported within Microsoft® Security Center.

·         Inventory Results: Provides detailed hardware inventory information and inventory status for all computers discovered or provided by the user in the inventory and assessment process.

·         Hardware and Software Summary: Provides a view of all computers running Windows, Linux and HP-UX operating systems. It also provides details about all applications installed on Windows-based computers and LAMP stack applications installed on Linux platforms.

·         Legacy Windows Server Inventory Report: Provides details about computers running the Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 operating systems in your environment. The report provides information about the applications installed on each computer and lists their current roles. This report also displays servers running on Itanium hardware as Windows support for this platform has ended with Windows Server 2008 R2.

·         Internet Explorer Discovery: Provides details about Windows Internet Explorer and Non-Microsoft® browsers deployed in your environment. This report also provides information about the Internet Explorer Add-ons deployed in your environment.

·         Web Application and Database Discovery: This assessment inventories web applications and SQL Server® database instances in your environment and reports information that will help you plan for the migration of on-premises workloads to Windows Azure Platform.

·         Windows Azure Migration Portfolio: This report is generated from the Windows Azure Application Migration Results page.  It provides a summary of each Application defined for your environment.

·         Windows Azure Application Summary: This report is generated from the Windows Azure Application Migration Results page. This report can only be generated once you have created and selected an Application. This report provides a summary of the type and quantity of Windows Azure compute instances, estimated monthly compute hours, SQL Azure Databases, and estimated network bandwidth required to migrate the selected web application, databases and servers to the Windows Azure Platform, and profile information provided by the user.

·         Azure ROI: This XML file is generated when you choose “Generate report/proposal” from the Application section in the action pane of the Windows Azure Application Migration Results page. It provides information that can be imported into the Windows Azure™ Platform TCO and ROI tool.
