Know the benefits of how cloud-based collaboration tools like Microsoft SharePoint server 2016 helps your on and off premises access. It’s enabling new business intelligence capabilities.
The new MinRole server idea is cloud inspired and prioritizes in managing the server roles instead of the services.
The available server roles are Front-end, Application, Distributed Cache and Search.
Every server role must be designed on its server and can’t be combined with a second role.
So you will need at least 4 SharePoint servers to a Multi-Server farm when initializing MinRole.
You can also choose for a custom role where you can configure the service as per your needs. The final role is the Single-Server farm which runs all SharePoint services on one server
