Upgrade 2010 Mode Sites to 2013 Mode and Content DB 2013 to 2016. 19. WHAT DO WE GET WITH 2016? Starting with the management improvements 20. MANAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS The improvements coming in SharePoint Server 2016 bring even greater scale, performance and reliability to customers. 21. [..] Distributed Cache and Request Management Distributed Cache, Request Management, SharePoint Foundation Web Application [..] Web Servers Access Services, Business Data Connectivity, Central Administration, Managed Metadata, SharePoint Foundation Web Application, Secure Store Service, State, Subscription Settings, User Code, User Profile, Visio Graphics [..] Batch Processing Crawl Target, Machine Translation, SharePoint Foundation Web Application, PowerPoint Conversion, User Profile Synchronization, Word Automation, Work Management, Workflow Timer Service [..] Specialized Workloads Excel Calculation, PerformancePoint, Project, Search, SharePoint Foundation Web Application User services Robot services Caching services MinRole SharePoint logic consolidated into one single machine reducing the number of discrete roles timer jobs search caching provisioning sync client onenote page rendering user profile excel services sandbox code project subscription settings User Services, Robot Services or Caching Services (MinRoles) 22. Services end user requests. Servers assigned to this role are optimized for low latency. Services backend jobs or the requests triggered by backend jobs. Servers assigned to this role are optimized for high throughput. Reserved for services that needed to be isolated from other services. 3rd party applications, etc. Serves distributed cache for the farm. Servers assigned to this role can load balance end user requests among the web front ends. CLOUD INSPIRED NEW 2016 SERVER ROLES User Services, Robot Services or Caching Services (MinRoles) Old School 23. HEALTH ANALYZER WORKS EVEN BETTER... User Services, Robot Services or Caching Services (MinRoles) SharePoint Health Analyzer for MinRole enforcement Health rule will scan each server in the farm daily Scans all roles except for SpecialLoad Compares Service Instances on server to expected configuration 24. PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS From 37+18 Per LangPack MSIs/MSPs to 4 MSI/MSPs +1 Per LangPack. Smaller update footprint Reduced number of MSI and MSP In-place, online, installation MSI MSP 25. 1 Windows identity over SAML claims Normalizes on OAuth and JWT/SAML with WSFED Important resources 2 IdP 3 5 4 AUTH N-Z Few minor changes SAML first class citizen. BI scenarios impacted positively. Moving away from domain based auth and more toward cloud based auth. 26. SMTP CONNECTION ENCRYPTION Alerts etc were unencrypted now can support encrypted comms. Connection Encryption Provides improved messaging security Supports sending mail to SMTP servers using STARTTLS connection encryption No fallback support for unencrypted connections SMTP can use non-default ports 27. PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS Now with Distributed Cache can move to 4x 9s (NTLM Problem Resolution) speed @ Cache Cluster {Transform} SharePoint How? 28. Increased List Threshold >5000 List Threshold Content database sizing into TBs Content Database Size MaxFile Size 10GB and removed character restrictions MaxFile Size 100,000 site collections per content database Site Collections per Content Database 2x increase in Search scale to 500 million items Indexed Items WHAT DO I GET WITH SHAREPOINT 2016? Boundaries and limits have been improved! 29. ODF IN DOCUMENT LIBRARIES Allows creating new files in Doc Libraries and saving as ODF Can edit new file with program of choice You can set an Open Document Format (ODF) file as the default file template for a document library. This way, when someone creates a new file in the library, the file opens and saves as an ODF file. People can use a program of their choice to edit the new file. 30. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Protocol Support Download Byte-range HTTP GETs Upload BITS specific block-based upload protocol Data Application Data Presentation Data Session Segments Transport Packets Network Frames Data Link Bits Physical HOSTLAYERSMEDIALAYERS FILE TRANSFER IMPROVEMENTS In 2010 we had a number of reads and writes just to update a file. Cobalt = High IO/Load. In 2013 we introduced shredded storage. This reduced impact on the server side (Delta). Background Intelligent Transfer service is a new method. Go beyond SOAP over HTTP. 31. FASTER SITE CREATION New logic improves site collection creation performance. Copies Site Collections using SPSite.Copy at Content Database level Implements master copies of Site Collections Mitigates Feature Activation overhead New Logic Improves site collection creation performance 32. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Still not committed for 2016: Improves reliability to allow 4x9s availability. Platform Resiliency New endpoint running on web servers Establishes affinity between web servers and load balancers (Big IP/NLB) Isolates requests and provides intelligent routing based on variables (health, servicing, etc.) Provable health remotely verifies health, can initialize remediation, and provides services for conditional access scenarios (think read only scenarios) Intelligent rules that sit inside of SharePoint that verify service health and servicing before responding to it. 33. USER PROFILE SERVICE 2 Options: Unidirectional Direct Connect (2007) or MIM (MSFT Ident Manager) Improved bidirectional synchronization Removed built-in FIM Service Supports external FIM Service Unidirectional synchronization provided through native AD synchronization 34. PROJECT SERVER DB CONSOLIDATED Integrated Project Server: Controlled through server/user licensing. SharePointServer PWA Project Server Project Database Content Database Configuration Database WCF Services Project Server Interface (PSI) Business Objects Project Calculation Service Project Server Workflow System ProjectServerEventing System LocalEventHandlers ProjectServerQueuing System Content (+Project) Database 35. DURABLE LINKS Durable Links: Resource ID Based URLs (Remains intact w/ rename and move). User clicks docID-based durable URL Redirect manager: based on this docID, provide the right way to get a doc Cobalt endpoint for getting file for client URL with SiteID & DocID to WOPI GuestAccess.asp x URL for WOPI This resolves many issues around document links today Limited URL Length (255 characters). Naming conventions (drag and drop filename w/ & in it.) File relocation breaks saved links. 36. WHAT DO I GET WITH SHAREPOINT 2016? Real Time Telemetry provide insights around users.
