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 ???

Editor's Notes
In particular SP2016 is focused on delivering value to customers as part of their on-premises deployments, while at the same time making it easier to take advantage of cloud innovation thru hybrid deployments of SharePoint Server with Office 365.
With that backdrop, SharePoint Server 2016 will deliver enhancements and new capabilities in three major areas:
Making decisions faster and keeping in contact are critical capabilities for increasing effectiveness in any organization.
Users’ ability to access information while on the go is now a workplace necessity.
SharePoint Server 2016 will provide improved mobile access to content, people and applications along with touch-based experiences across devices and screen sizes. It will make file storage and document collaboration more people-centric. And it will enable improved user experiences and capabilities derived from innovations in Office 365, available either as part of your on-premises deployment or through a hybrid implementation of SharePoint Server 2016 and Office 365.
For example, users will be able to quickly discover contextually relevant information and data that is stored across both on-premises and cloud environments powered by Office Graph and Delve. And, we’re focused on helping you streamline communications with richer integration with Exchange and Yammer, as well as broadening access and management of new types of media thru integration with Office 365 Video as examples.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is non-negotiable, and overexposure to information can have legal and compliance implications.

Microsoft is also working to make OneDrive for Business more viable for organizations, particularly on the mobile front. "OneDrive for Business isn't where we want it to be," Baer admitted during the Ignite session. Microsoft is improving the lightweight file sharing capabilities of OneDrive for Business while also improving SharePoint Server's file sharing capabilities.
The new cloud search service will allow organizations to unify their search index across cloud and premises environments.
