With release of Exchange 2016 Microsoft has focused its efforts on improving multiple areas but it seems majority of changes are directed to customer rather than for Administrators to enjoy new things.
Better collaboration – with release of Outlook 2016 and new OWA (Outlook on the WEB as Microsoft calls it now) Microsoft decided to replace traditional email attachments with links to OneDrive for Business or SharePoint 2016 making sure to not overload Exchange 2016 Mailbox Storage.
Improved OWA – Microsoft has reworked OWA interface to more modern interface. It should be now easier and faster to use.
Search – faster, more flexible, more intelligent search engine.
Extensibility – Microsoft has added extented add-in model for Outlook desktop and Outlook on the web which allows developers to build features right into the Outlook experience. Add-ins can now integrate with UI components in new ways: as highlighted text in the body of a message or meeting. Many more options are available to developers.
eDiscovery: Exchange 2016 has a revamped eDiscovery pipeline that is significantly faster and more scalable. Reliability is improved due to a new search architecture that is asynchronous and distributes the work across multiple servers with better fault tolerance. You also have the ability to search, hold and export content from public folders.
Simplified architecture: Exchange 2016’s architecture reflects the way we deploy Exchange in Office 365 and is an evolution and refinement of Exchange 2013. A combined mailbox and client access server role makes it easier to plan and scale your on-premises and hybrid deployments. Coexistence with Exchange 2013 is simplified, and namespace planning is easier.
High availability: Automated repair improvements such as database divergence detection make Exchange easier than ever to run in a highly available way. Stability and performance enhancements from Office 365, many of which were so useful that we shipped them in Exchange 2013 Cumulative Updates, are also baked into the product.
Microsoft Server Exchange 2016 will follow the same servicing rhythm as Microsoft Server Exchange 2013, with Cumulative Updates (CUs) released approximately every three months that contain bug fixes, product refinements, and selected new investments from Office 365. The CUs will include features such as search indexing from passive that Microsoft decided needed additional refinement or validation before arriving on-premises. The first CU will arrive in the first quarter of 2016.
