your farm to follow minrole guidelines• Cannot take part of cloud

workloads• Office Graph• Video• Groups• PowerBI

Pro/Con Tomorrow - 2016

Minrole

Web Front End Services end user requests, optimized for low latency.

Search Reserved for Search services.

Application Services the backend jobs or the requests triggered by backend jobs, optimized for high throughput.

Distributed Cache

Special Load Reserved for services to be isolated from other services, I.e. 3rd party, PerformancePoint, etc.

Single Server Farm

Provisions all services on the server for a single server deployment. This role is provided for evaluation and development purposes.

Minrole

Cloud ONLY

PRO• No servers to maintain, HA, DR• Cloud only workloads

• Office Graph• Video• Groups• PowerBI• Yammer

• Invite external users / sharing• Easy access for users from all

devices• Trained support personnel

via first release• No control on indexing• Harder to integrate LOB• Harder to customize• …the train is rolling

Cloud Pro/Con

The end-gameOn-premises, Cloud, Hybrid

• Running both on-premises and Office 365 can incur more license costs

• Cloud Search Application (hybrid crawl) might improve the TCO if you can kill some local search servers

• All custom solutions cost money• Farm solution might be cheaper compared to provider hosted apps

• Cloud gets new workload first• Uncertain which ones are downported, and which ones will work hybrid

Some value propositions

© 2015 puzzlepart as

• Hybrid• Governmental agencies and large companies with lots of

regulations and LOB applications

• Cloud• SMB where infrastructure is more about internet access than

hosting

• On-premises• For those happy with things as they are

Pick your end-game!
