OFFICE GRAPH SETTINGS

CLOUD INSPIRED-INFRASTRUCTURE

SharePoint 2016 is the first on-premises server release representative of our experience running SharePoint at scale in Office 365, bringing our own internal investments to your datacenter that improve performance, reliability and scale as well as enabling true hybrid scenarios that can enrich your existing on-premises investments.

In addition, with an improved, simplified user experience and integration with products such as the next release of Windows Server, the next generation of SQL Server, and Exchange Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2016 will simplify end-user training and support for IT.

Finally, we’re focused on enabling a broad ecosystem of solutions and partners through a standardized set of APIs and experiences that span on-premises and the cloud.

COMPLIANCE AND REPORTING

SharePoint Server 2016 will provide a broad array of features and capabilities designed to make certain that sensitive information remains protected with investments in DLP

New scenarios to enable data encryption

Compliance tools that span on-premises servers and Office 365

Enabling user self-service and content usage adhering to organizationscorporate policy.

CLOUD IMPROVEMENTS COMING TO SERVER

Hybrid architectures SP2016 more social and mobile, as well as being capable of leveraging

machine learning capabilities. New About Me next-generation portal uses Microsoft's Delve content

discovery tool, based on Office Graph enterprise search technology, to surface content and organizational information.

Upgrade to SharePoint Server 2013 that will enable the Delve portal for those organizations that can't wait for the release of SharePoint Server 2016.

Improved lightweight file sharing capabilities of OneDrive for Business and Sharepoint's file sharing capability

SEARCH FOR HYBRID SCENARIOS

SharePoint Server 2016 will have the cloud as its foundation and that will affect how Microsoft thinks about its premises-based products.

Hybrid use has tended to create discreet silos of information (in the cloud and on premises) when it came to searching for documents, but Microsoft plans to address that issue in SharePoint Server 2016.

A new cloud search service will ship as an update this year to SharePoint Server 2013, and it will be baked into SharePoint Server 2016 .

REQUIREMENTS FOR SP SERVER 2016

SharePoint Server 2016 will require Windows Server 2012 R2 or "Windows Server 10.

It also requires Windows Server AppFabric 1.1, which Microsoft announced will be deprecated next year, but it will still be supported in SharePoint Server 2016.

BOUNDARIES AND LIMITS

Microsoft will be expanding the content database size, site collections per database, list threshold size, maximum file size and number of indexed items (see chart).

MORE SP 2016 DEVELOPMENTS

Microsoft is moving more to a cloud-based identification model with SAML and OAuth

Nondefault ports can be used for connection encryption, rather than just using Port 25

Site creation is no longer a "heavy operation" but now will be "small and fast"

Project Server will be integrated into SharePoint content databases (although you don't get it for free)

Microsoft will make "durable links" for finding files so that it won't matter if the file name gets changed or if the file gets moved

Microsoft is adding an ODF file saving capability

UPGRADE AND DEPLOYMENTS

It's possible to migrate or upgrade to SharePoint Server 2016. However, it will not be possible to upgrade directly from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2016.

Microsoft has decided that SharePoint Server 2013 will be the "stepping stone" to SharePoint Server 2016. The 2013 version is considered to be the genesis block for future SharePoint versions and it has parity with SharePoint Server 2016. When upgrading, any site collections will need to be brought up to the SharePoint Server 2013 mode first.

Another deployment change is that standalone installations will no longer be supported. Also, single server farm deployments do not include SQL Server Express. Instead, organizations have to connect to a database server installed on the same machine, Baer said.
