The document provides an overview of new features and capabilities in SharePoint 2016, including improved user experiences powered by Office Graph and Delve, richer integration with Exchange and Yammer, and broader access to new media types through Office 365 Video. It outlines enhancements to search capabilities to span on-premises and cloud environments, new compliance and reporting tools, and hybrid architectures designed to leverage machine learning. Requirements and limits are increasing across various SharePoint components. Upgrades will require moving to SharePoint 2013 first before upgrading to 2016.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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

10. 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 .

11. 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.

12. 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).

13. 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

14. 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.

15. SP DESIGNER 2016 ???
 Tweet from Benjamin Niaulin, an Office 365 MVP with ShareGate (and then
his follow up post).
 The announcement was made approximately hour and twenty minutes
into a session given by Mark Kashman, Senior Product Manager at
Microsoft, entitled, “SharePoint UNPLUGGED! Questions Answered on
Anything You Heard This Week”.
