As a huge fan of MAP, I’m happy to report that the latest version is now available for download. After having used the 7.0 beta alongside the previous version during the last major network migration project I was involved with, I’m glad I can switch wholly across to the new version.

New capabilities allow you to:

  • Understand your readiness to deploy Windows Server 2012      in your environment
  • Determine Windows 8 readiness
  • Investigate how Windows Server and System Center can      manage your heterogeneous environment through VMware migration and Linux      server virtualization assessments
  • Size your desktop virtualization needs for both Virtual      Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and session-based virtualization using Remote      Desktop Services
  • Ready your information platform for the cloud with the      SQL Server 2012 discovery and migration assessment
  • Evaluate your licensing needs with usage tracking for      Lync 2010, active users and devices, SQL Server 2012, and Windows Server      2012
