Editor's Notes
- #5: First version engineered & built for the cloud, then tweaked for On-Prem
- #6: RTW - Release to Web
- #11: Windows 2012 R2 & 10 are the only two choices. From a SQL perspective, 2012 is no longer supported. SQL Server 2014 and vNext are the only versions supported.
- #14: In 2013, Microsoft said they supported database sizes for any usage scenario up to 200GB, and under certain specific conditions they would support databases up to 4TB in size.
- #19: Project server now runs within SharePoint, instead of “on top of” OneDrive improvements. Cobalt is GONE, now it’s IIS BITS – Better, because it works on all file types
- #20: Authentication: Azure AD connect. Version of SQL: 2014 SP2 – Not required, but recommended to simplify the process – SP2 DB model much closer to where 2016 will be Hybrid BCS - http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK4113 Hybrid Search - http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK3134
