IRM improvements to include OneDrive for business

13

Office 365 provides Information Rights Management (IRM) capabilities, which helps you secure your information by encrypting it and applying an intelligent policy so that only specified internal and/or external people can “act” on your information.

IRM protection stays in place whether you open file on Office Online or on a local folder and continues to apply the settings even if you make edits to the file in both locations.


Large file support > 2 GB

Previous versions of SharePoint did not support uploading or downloading files larger than 2,047 MB.

SharePoint 2016 now allows you to upload or download larger files.

Recommend keep it under 10GB.

The Open Document Format (ODF) enables you to create new files in a document library and save as ODF files so that users can edit the new file with a program they choose.

You can create an ODF file from any program that is compatible with ODF.

MinRole Farm Topology

26

Simplified deployment – no worry about which services to run on which server, let SharePoint handle it.

Improved performance and reliability - Microsoft hasanalyzed the performance characteristics of SharePoint at Internet scale. The SharePoint services have been optimized for the MinRole topology based on that analysis.

Simpler capacity planning and farm scalability - By deploying your farm in a recommended MinRole topology, you’ll be able to leverage better predictable and prescriptive capacity-planning guidance.


MinRole Farm Topology - continued

27

Smaller farms of less than 9 can still get partial benefits, e.g. a three server farm with 2 WFE and 1 custom server could be compliant, but only the 2 WFE would benefit from the additional logic that is built into MinRole roles.

9 servers are needed for High availability across the farm2 Application, 2 Frontend, 2 Search, and 3 Distributed

Cache
