Cost control is a necessity in today’s business climate. As hardware, power, and cooling costs continue to increase along with the size of your IT environment, it is imperative that your organization identify any and all cost-saving opportunities to remain competitive.
Look to the following products and technologies to control IT costs in your organization:
Migration to these products requires assessment and planning of your existing infrastructure, which can be complex and time consuming if done manually. To simplify the IT planning process, Microsoft has developed the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit. With this integrated and automated toolkit, you can assess the readiness of your IT environment to consolidate servers and better manage power consumption through virtualization and power management.
What Is the MAP Toolkit?
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is a powerful inventory, assessment, and reporting tool that can securely assess IT environments for various platform migrations and virtualization without the use of any software agents. This versatile toolkit:
- Quickly discovers clients, servers, and applications across your IT environment.
- Conducts migration and virtualization assessments for your IT projects.
- Auto-generates reports and proposals.
- Scales well to small businesses as well as large enterprises.

Consolidate under-utilized servers with Hyper-V, and use less power to run and cool your data centers. Stream applications on demand to desktops and laptops with App-V, and realize additional power and hardware efficiencies and deploy applications with fewer server resources.
Virtualization not only saves you IT dollars, it also decreases carbon dioxide emissions, essentially “greening” your IT environment.
Use the MAP Toolkit to auto-generate reports and proposals for different cost-cutting scenarios and accelerate your migration to cost control technologies.
The following MAP proposals and reports assess your IT environment and uncover the potential savings for your client and server infrastructure.
- Power Savings Calculator and Proposal. Identifies potential savings for your desktops and servers, including the benefits of virtualization via Hyper-V.
- Server Migration Reports and Proposals. Windows Server 2008 and “virtualized guests by hosts” reporting.
- Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 Migration Proposals and Reports. Prepare recommendations for application virtualization using App-V.
