New server roles
Zero downtime upgrades
Order-of-magnitude scale improvements
Hybrid synch services to enable on-premises Search, Graph and BI features
Server Roles
• Server roles are configured when setting up a farm with the wizard-based UI
• Only the required services and components are enabled
Server Role Description
Front End - User-facing applications and services
- Optimised for performance
- Web pages, file previews, and service end-points.
Application - Services and jobs that do not service user requests.
Distributed Cache - Data caching including tokens and social content
- Can also provide Request Routing
- Still based on AppFabric (Velocity)
Search - Search components are “self-organising” on search nodes
Custom - Other services as configured by the Farm administrator
Single Server Farm - Intended for development and testing
Better Management and Scale
• Zero downtime upgrades
• Content DBs supported into TBs
• 100,000 site collections per Content DB
• Lists and library views above 5,000
– Auto-indexing more intelligent than before
• File size constraints increased from 2 to 10 GB
• A SharePoint 2016 System Center Management Pack will be released
– Preview available September 7
SharePoint 2016: Hybrid Topology
On the way out…
• No current plans for a “Foundation” edition
– Standard and Enterprise are the options
• Excel Services deprecated
– Still available in SharePoint Online
– Several other BI Features need new versions to work with 2016:
• Power Pivot Gallery
• Power View Reports
• Power Pivot Dashboard
• BISM Connector
• Tags and Notes deprecated
– Can be archived prior to upgrade
SharePoint 2016: Between the lines
• Hybrid deployment is needed to benefit from many features: – Delve and Graph
– Office 365 Groups
– Stretched SQL DBs
– Power BI Packs for SP web analytics
• Forms and Workflow vNext?
• New ECM features?
• What will we see for BI?– Power BI Desktop teases, “Design once, view anywhere” – even SharePoint?
Introducing Project GigJam
• Open the information you want
– Set filters, link related information
• Circle the information you want to share
– Block out the information you don’t want to share
• Tap on people to involve them
– Share with
– Work with
– Work on my behalf
SharePoint 2016: It ain’t over until it ships.
SharePoint 2016: What to watch for
• Expect more to come – prepare for another preview in Nov
– This will be the originally scheduled Preview
– Try the features already announced and submit your feedback
• Expect features not yet announced
– SharePoint is due for a major upgrade, not incremental improvement
– The changes announced for IT Pros enable new scenarios not yet discussed
SharePoint 2016: How to prepare
Are you running SharePoint 2013? – Ensure SharePoint 2013 sites are no longer in SP 2010 compatibility mode
Will your hardware run SharePoint 2016?– Baseline specs see incremental changes:
• Windows 2012 R2, 4 core, 12 to 16 GB RAM (12 for DEV to 16 for PRD)
• 16 to 32+ GB recommended for SQL Server (again DEV vs. PRD)
• Windows Server 10 will be supported by RTM
• SQL Server 2014 SP1 or SQL Server 2016
• A standalone install (intended for DEV only) works with 16 GB
See what’s new in Office 2016 – Went RTW/RTM in September, evaluation versions are available
Push the buttons on the SharePoint 2016 IT Preview– Don’t have the hardware? Test it on Azure!
