more. Drill down to the machine level to see granular data displayed
graphically.
➜➜ Performance Projection Analysis: Receive a projected performance analysis
on compute, storage, and network resources based on your current observed
performance. View a graphic, which can be drilled down to the machine
level, that shows your current performance vs. your performance with your
recommended right-sized cloud configuration.
➜➜ Hybrid Performance Benchmarking: Understand the performance profile of
your compute, storage, and network resources in your on-premise and private
clouds, and compare that to their projected performance and cost in Azure to
inform your hybrid cloud decision-making.
➜➜ Pricing Plans: Find additional cost savings by determining the ideal pricing
packages based on your usage profile.
➜➜ Planning and Forecasting: Run “what if” scenarios by changing regions, pricing
plans, discounting levels, instance types, instance families, and performance
thresholds so that you can right-size your infrastructure based on your
performance target.
➜➜ Reports: Download TCO reports based on various mapping options and export
all graphs and charts as images and spreadsheets.

Plan
Plan provides a complete visual of your entire existing infrastructure. It automates
the discovery of applications across physical, virtual, and cloud environments
and assesses dependencies and cloud suitability for each, so you can prioritize
applications for migration and efficiently build a successful roadmap to the cloud.

Plan ➜➜ Intelligent Move Groups: Automatically group hundreds or even thousands of
Continued applications migrating to the cloud based on characteristics such as application
or machine names, affinity mapping, dependencies, cloud cost, application
class, cost, migration phase, or any other user-defined filter.
➜➜ Migration Designer: Manually group applications based on their dependencies,
business uses, migration phases, tags, and more.
➜➜ TCO to Migrate: See how much a workload will cost in the cloud before you
migrate it to ensure you only migrate those workloads that fit into your current
migration budget.
➜➜ Right-Sizing Planner: Receive your recommended optimal virtual machines,
storage options, and network settings to ensure cost-performance optimization
at the moment your applications migrate to the cloud.
➜➜ Move Group Planning: Run “what if” scenarios for each move group by
changing regions, pricing plans, discounting levels, instance types, instance
families, and performance thresholds to decide migration priority of the move
group.
➜➜ Topology Viewer: Graphically visualize your group applications and their
dependencies.
➜➜ Shadow IT: Find potential “Shadow IT” by identifying dependencies going to IP
addresses within your environment that are out of project scope.
➜➜ Firewall Rules: View firewall rules for /8, /16, and /32 IP address range based
on your application communication and build your security policies in the cloud.
➜➜ Export Data: Download summary reports for all groups/applications, which
detail IP addresses, dependencies, DNS, firewall rules, migration cost, and
more.
➜➜ Export Architecture Diagram: Build your architecture diagram and export it into
SVG format to edit for your final configuration.
➜➜ Project Management: Manage multiple large-scale migrations across different
business units and global geographies simultaneously within a single portal.

Validate
Validate ensures that application connections are operating in the cloud as they
should be and recommends how to address any issues.
➜➜ Hybrid Cloud Connectivity Tests: Validate that your migrated applications are
operating in the cloud as they were in their historical on-premises or private
cloud environment.
➜➜ Connectivity Gaps: Immediately identify and rectify any gaps in application
connectivity in the cloud, and run follow-up tests to ensure the connections are
working as they should.
➜➜ Actionable Insights: Receive recommendations on how to fix any application
connection issues.
Manage
Manage enables you to understand and optimize your cloud costs on an ongoing
basis. It provides analysis of cloud bills for better clarity and control, along with
recommendations on how to reduce costs through right-sizing and capacity planning.
