History and Roadmap
Modernize your on-premises infrastructure improving speed, scale, and user experiences. SharePoint Server 2016 brings cloud innovation to your datacenter so you can get the best of both worlds – speed and productivity for your users with flexibility and control for IT.
New user experiences enable users to quickly and productively consume new apps and experiences across devices and screens.
Improved User Experiences
Based on our learning from Office 365, SharePoint 2016 delivers a reliable software-defined infrastructure foundation that’s proven at scale with best in class hybrid experiences.
Cloud-Inspired Infrastructure
Integrated data-loss prevention and protection and with built-in and cloud connected compliance, security, and threat protection for both administrators and end users.
People-Centric Compliance

Extensible App Launcher Same experience as O365 Extensible Quick Nav between on-premises and
the cloud Pin your sites to it Seamless experience with other apps
such as Yammer, OneDrive, Delve, Groups, etc.
…. There is more
Fast Site Collection Creation Reduce Feature Activation overhead Similar to MinRole approach Enable it through PowerShell Copy to the database
…. And more…
Fast Site Collection Creation How To1. Enable Fast-Site Creation on Template

Search Scale and Resiliency
Hybrid Search is here; and easier to implement! Scale up to 500 million items 20 million items per index (x25 index partitions) Increaser performance optimization to the query
processing New failure logic for queries between index
replicas
Distributed Cache
Recap; DCS is used for:• Newsfeeds• Authentication• OneNote client access • Security Trimming • Page load performance
Major DCS improvement in 2016: No more NTLM between SharePoint and the
Cluster Service On by default with the Single Farm scenario Still recommended to be on its own server If (!! Cache) { WFE = true }
Hybrid Scenarios
OneDrive can be on-premises or O365 – Reduce on-premise storage
Profile Redirection – powered by Delve Hybrid Team Sites
Cloud Hybrid Search Cloud Hybrid Search
Search on-premise content from O365 and vice versa
Content metadata is encrypted when transferred to O365 search index
Crawl setup is on-premise and search configuration is Online
