About Microsoft Exchange Server 2016:
Exchange Server 2016 will ship with just two server roles:
Mailbox
server role – this role will consolidate the Mailbox and Client Access
roles from Exchange Server 2013. Compared to Exchange Server 2010 this
role consolidates all of the functions of the Client Access, Mailbox,
Hub Transport, and Unified Messaging server roles. The Mailbox server
role in Exchange Server 2016 is the only mandatory server role, and the
consolidation reinforces the recommended practice since Exchange Server
2010 to deploy Exchange as a multi-role server instead of deploying
individual roles to separate servers.
Edge
Transport server role – this role will be much the same as Edge
Transport in previous versions of Exchange, designed to sit in perimeter
networks and provide secure inbound and outbound mail flow for the
organization.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDARD AND ENTERPRISE EDITIONS
For
Exchange Server 2016 there are two editions of the server product
itself, and there is only one difference between them which is the
number of mounted databases per server.
Exchange Server 2016 Standard Edition – maximum of 5 mounted databases per server
Exchange Server 2016 Enterprise Edition – maximum of 100 mounted databases per server
Microsoft’s definition of a “mounted database” is:
"A
mounted database can be an active mailbox database that is mounted for
use by clients, or a passive mailbox database that is mounted in
recovery for log replication and replay. While you can create more
databases than the limits described above, you can only mount the
maximum number specified above. The recovery database does not count
towards this limit."
EXCHANGE SERVER 2016 HIGH AVAILABILITY
The
Database Availability Group (DAG) remains the high availability model
for back-end components (databases), and load balancing for the
client-facing endpoints (for services such as Outlook Anywhere, Outlook
Web App, ActiveSync, Exchange Web Services, etc).
There
are many changes under the hood that improve the performance, stability
and functionality of Exchange in HA deployments. Included in RTM:
DAGs will be created without an IP address and administrative access point by default.
Replay Lag Manager will be enabled by default.
Database failover times are reduced by 33% compared to Exchange Server 2013.
EXCHANGE SERVER 2016 CONNECTIVITY AND INTEGRATION
MAPI-over-HTTP
was introduced in Exchange Server 2013 although it was disabled by
default. In Exchange Server 2016 MAPI-over-HTTP is being prioritzed as
the Outlook client connectivity protocol and RPC-over-HTTP is now
de-emphasised, indicating it will be phased out in future versions of
Exchange.
Mobile
connectivity gets some sync and calender improvements with a
newActiveSync version 16 rolling out in Exchange Online and planned to
be included with Exchange Server 2016. Also included in the new release:
Integration with Office Web Apps Server for document preview and editing capabilities in OWA.
REST
APIs for mail, calendar and contacts (first introduced in Office 365)
will be available in Exchange Server 2016 in a later Cumulative Update.
DEPLOYING EXCHANGE SERVER 2016
The current system requirements for Exchange Server 2016 include:
Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher domain controllers and global catalog servers
Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher domain and forest functional levels
Windows
Server 2012 R2 or higher operating system (Windows Server “10” support
is expected but can’t be formalised until it ships as well)
Co-existence with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 RU11 and Exchange Server 2013 CU11 (neither of which are released yet)
