Advanced Report Overview

Advanced Report Overview

This page provides an orientation to the Advanced Report available within Dr Mi6Rate. This report gives you a deep view of your environment to support decision-making, using the most recent application mappings, server additions, treatment plans, and wave strategies.

ℹ️
If you’ve made changes in the Planning component—like assigning 6R treatments, adding servers, or updating application mappings—you must refresh the report to reflect those updates. The refresh button is available in the top-right Power BI toolbar.

Side Menu Overview

Executive Summary Overview

Side Menu Overview

The left-hand sidebar is used to navigate across sections of the report:

  • Executive Summary
    High-level stats, migration readiness metrics, and key progress indicators.
  • Inventory (formerly Discover)
    Drill-down views of collected server and application data.
  • Dependencies
    Visualise app-to-app and server-to-server network communications.
  • SQL Insights
    SQL Server performance, configuration, and consolidation insights.
  • Insights
    Highlights anomalies, outliers, and optimization opportunities.
  • Settings / Help (coming soon)
    Quick access to this documentation and contextual help based on the page.

Executive Summary

The Executive Summary is designed to give senior stakeholders and technical leads an instant snapshot of pro6Ress and risk.

It includes:

  • Total discovered servers and applications
  • % Mapped vs Unmapped
  • 6R Readiness (Ready, Blocked, Conditions)
  • OS and platform breakdowns
  • Support status across OS versions
  • Utilization signals (CPU, RAM, Storage)
Use this tab for stakeholder updates and to highlight key risks like unsupported OS or unmapped apps.
ℹ️
If you’ve recently uploaded custom tags, they will appear once the report refresh completes (up to 15 mins).

Navigating the Inventory Section

The Inventory view (previously named “Discover”) is your main workspace for investigating discovered resources.

Filter by Application

Executive Summary Overview
  • Use the app filter at the top of the screen.
  • This will automatically scope the entire view (Servers, Tiers, Tags, etc.)
  • Combine with Environment and Server filters for more precision.

Use Tags Effectively

Tags allow you to label and filter applications and servers using custom business or technical logic.

  • Common tags include: Wave 1, Windows 2012, Critical App, Vendor: Oracle.
  • Tags are visible in the filter menu and on relevant columns.
Start with an application filter, then refine using server state, OS type, or tag 6Roupings to reduce noise.
ℹ️
If you’ve recently uploaded custom tags, they will appear once the report refresh completes (up to 15 mins).

Key Tabs and Concepts

This section gives a high-level overview of each of the main Advanced Report tabs.

Digital Estate

Executive Summary Overview

A high-level summary of infrastructure components:

  • Total apps and servers
  • OS platforms and their support status
  • CPU/RAM/Storage utilization bands
  • Power state (on/off)
  • Mapped vs Unmapped status

Key Technologies

Executive Summary Overview

Breaks down detected IT tooling and app-level components across your estate. Includes:

  • Monitoring (e.g. Zabbix, SolarWinds)
  • Endpoint protection (e.g. CrowdStrike, Defender)
  • SQL, Apache, Java, IIS, BizTalk, and others
Use this tab to validate tooling across apps before modernization.

Your Apps

Your Apps Tab

Displays all discovered applications with associated metadata:

  • App Name
  • Readiness State (Ready, Blocked, Conditions)
  • Treatment Strategy (Rehost, Retain, etc.)
  • Complexity Score
  • Assigned Owner
  • Wave Assignment

App Strategies

App Strategies Tab

Apps 6Rouped by 6R strategy (6Rs):

  • Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, Retain, Replace
  • % of estate in each category
  • Server impact per strategy
ℹ️
This view is used in strategic planning sessions to validate treatment plans.

App Sizing

App Sizing Tab

Breakdown of app complexity scores:

  • Bands: Low, Medium, High, Very High, Extra High
  • Used to prioritize waves
  • Complexity is derived from signals like OS support, modernization blockers, agent presence

Wave Planning

Wave Planning Tab

Visual summary of mi6Ration waves:

  • Estimated durations
  • Estimated Azure cost per wave
  • Estimated savings per wave
  • Apps in each wave, organized by size and strategy

Sustainability

Estimates CO₂e reduction by moving from on-prem to Azure:

  • Total and % savings
  • Equivalents in “cars off road” or “acres of forest”
  • Helps support sustainability reporting
Sustainability Tab

What If

Scenario builder for Azure hosting assumptions:

  • Swap region, purchasing model, storage tier
  • Visualize cost impact before committing to strategy
Useful for stakeholder questions on reserved vs PAYG or region comparisons.

TCO & Cost Modelling

Highlights cost comparisons between current and cloud hosting:

  • On-Prem Equivalent cost
  • Azure TCO per app, per wave
  • Currency-adjusted outputs
  • Breakdowns by treatment, vendor, tag
⚠️
Ensure pricing models are validated with your internal finance stakeholders.

Final Reminders

  • Refresh the report regularly after changes in Planning, Tags, or Scan uploads.
  • Use Tags and App Filters to scope views cleanly.
  • The Inventory tab is the best place to validate completeness.
  • Additional help is available in the Help tab (coming soon).
