Enterprise Storage - Single Server Storage
TrueNas
We have leveraged the power, dependability and affordability of TrueNas for our open storage software.
TrueNAS is Open Source, based on Debian Linux, and free to download and use. With hundreds of thousands of testers and contributors, the TrueNAS community development model enables broader testing, and ultimately, a higher quality product, in addition to its unbeaten value.
Built on the powerful OpenZFS file system, TrueNAS comes with integrated data protection features including copy-on-write and data integrity checks to prevent corruption. Built-in RAID protection, unlimited snapshots, and resilient replication protect your data and facilitate recovery even in the face of hardware failure or malware. Storage optimization features like advanced compression, caching, and thin/thick provisioning maximize storage efficiency.
