Technology Domains

The Technologies tab answers two questions: what is the customer running, and what can they modernise? It works without any setup (no need to map workloads first) because it runs on Dr Migrate's signature mapping. That makes it one of the first places worth exploring right after discovery.

Because signature mapping does the heavy lifting, Technologies is reliable from day one, making it a strong way to validate that discovery saw the software you expected.

Tabs and summary tiles¶

Technologies is organised into tabs: Domains, App Stacks, Platform & Services, Security, Modern Workplace, COTS Products and Software Search. Across the top, summary tiles count Technology Products, Server Installations and Modernisation Candidates, so you can see the scale of the inventory and how much of it has a forward path.

Domains¶

The Domains view groups the estate's technology into broad areas and shows each domain's top products by server installations, the quickest way to see what dominates the estate. From here you drill in two steps: first pick a domain, then pick a technology within it.

Drilling down¶

Choosing a domain (for example App Stacks) opens its categories: Databases, Runtimes, Middleware, Web Servers and Containers. Pick a technology within a category (say SQL) for the detailed analysis: how many servers run it, which versions are present, their support status and the modernisation pathways available for that technology (the Azure targets it could move to).

The App Stacks domain drilled into a technology, showing server and version counts, support status and modernisation pathways, with by-server / by-application / by-treatment lenses. — Drilling into a technology: servers, versions, support status and modernisation pathways.

Lenses on the detail view¶

On the technology detail view, switch perspective with lenses:

By server: every server running this technology.
By application: which applications depend on it.
By treatment: how those servers are currently being treated, so you can spot inconsistencies before planning.

Software Search¶

When you need to find a specific technology across the whole estate, for a licensing question, a security advisory or a vendor end-of-life, use Software Search. It returns a table you can Export, with these columns:

Column	What it shows
Category	The technology category.
Package	The software package name.
Description	What it is.
Version	The version installed.
Provider	The vendor.
Related COTS App	The COTS product it belongs to, if any.
Total Servers	How many servers it's installed on.

Where to go next¶

When you've seen what's running and where it can go, the Modernization tab prioritises those opportunities and assesses cloud readiness for Servers, SQL, Java and .NET.
