SCCM v.Next provides powerful and flexible user-centric management, allowing people to be able to seamlessly access their data from virtually anywhere, across multiple device types while providing IT with unified management tools and centralized control.
Basically all SCCM.vNext site systems need to be on x64 Windows platform, and NO MORE ASP web reports, SQL Server Reporting Services only!

64-bit Windows for all site servers and site roles except:
Branch DPs will run on SCCM.next client OS supported platforms
Win 2003 32-bit will be supported on file share only Standard DPs.
SQL 2008 – only 64-bit editions
Win 2008 64-bit (some may require 2k8 R2)
SQL Reporting Services is the ONLY reporting platform
Available features of SCCM vNext are as below-
1. Provide a rich application management model to capture admin intent
2. Allow the administrator to think users first

4. Allow the user to define their relationship to applications
5. Redesigned hierarchy and SQL Server replication
