Summary in bahasa:
Berapa diantara PC yang ada di perusahaan ini yang dapat digunakan untuk menjalankan Win 7? Apa yang perlu dilakukan terhadap PC yang tidak memenuhi spesifikasi minimum, agar dapat memenuhi? Server mana yang dapat digunakan untuk menjalankan Hyper-V? Konsolidasi server dengan rekomendasi penempatan VMguest seperti apa yang memungkinkan?
Inisiatif untuk melakukan deployment/migrasi ke teknologi Microsoft yang terbaru (seperti Windows 7, Windows Server 2008R2, Hyper-V, App-V, dan sebagainya), perlu didukung dengan data yang cukup handal untuk perencanaan yang matang.
Microsoft menyediakan tool berupa Microsoft assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) untuk memudahkan proses pengumpulan data, kemudian pembuatan dokumentasi yang berisi laporan dan rekomendasi untuk persiapan selanjutnya. Berikut adalah daftar assessment dari berbagai teknologi Microsoft yang didukung oleh MAP ini.
