TrueNAS SCALE brings the same rock-solid OpenZFS filesystem to the Linux ecosystem, extending hardware support and software functionality to include the ability to run containerized workloads close to the storage.
Enterprise storage does not need to be rigid and difficult. TrueNAS SCALE is scale-out storage and hyperconverged infrastructure that is also flexible. Key to that flexibility is the inclusion of Kubernetes for deploying containerized (e.g. Docker) applications....
The ninth annual OpenZFS Developer Summit took place November 8th and 9th online with iXsystems proudly returning as a Gold sponsor. The OpenZFS community remains vibrant and is continuing to develop features at a rapid pace. This blog summarizes some of the more...
TrueNAS SCALE is completing its BETA phase and the “Angelfish” version is starting to swim downriver toward its release. We are now gearing up to both complete Angelfish and start the development of the next major version, which we have codenamed “Bluefin”. The first...
TrueNAS SCALE 21.08 BETA has been released and includes clustered SMB (aka Windows storage) and a much improved Windows-style ACL (Access Control List) editor. These build on the major iXsystems innovation of Windows-style (aka NFSv4) ACLs on Linux ZFS. With these...
TrueNAS 12.0-U4 was released today and marks another step forward on the path of improving quality. The last release, TrueNAS 12.0-U3.1, has been the highest-ever quality release of the TrueNAS family, is now the most widely deployed version of the software, and has...
HyperConverged Infrastructure (HCI) has already proven itself to be very important to the future of Enterprise IT. It provides simpler deployment and scaling of workloads from edge systems to colocation facilities, and data centers. Forrester recently recognized TrueNAS SCALE as a pioneer in a new segment of the HCI market: Open Source HCI.
The Democratic CSI driver integrates ZFS and TrueNAS into the Kubernetes environment and other container management platforms. Kubernetes and the TrueNAS system communicate via the CSI to set up the storage volumes, and iSCSI/NFS then provides the direct link between applications in pods/containers and the TrueNAS storage system
TrueNAS is designed to simplify and support multiple deployments within the hybrid world. Recently, Mike Pagan, Senior Solution Architect at Network Center, an iXsystems partner, used published tools to deploy TrueNAS to the Microsoft Azure public cloud.
After a very successful development cycle with thousands of downloads, TrueNAS SCALE 21.02 is now available. TrueNAS SCALE “Angelfish” is rapidly maturing for single node use and is now being tested for multi-node or scale-out use. The KVM Hypervisor and Kubernetes capabilities are ready for enthusiasts to take for a spin.
Congratulations to the OpenZFS Community! OpenZFS 2.0.0 hit the RELEASE milestone on November 30, 2020. OpenZFS 2.0 represents a new era for both the project and the file system itself, and iXsystems is proud to have contributed to such a significant engineering accomplishment. We’re also excited to announce its official availability to our Community starting immediately, making TrueNAS the first software to officially include it in a release.
