The world’s number one open-source operating system, TrueNAS brings the performance and features of the legendary OpenZFS file system in an easy to use package. Available in two free and open-source software versions, TrueNAS also comes as a professionally-supported Enterprise solution when coupled with iXsystems branded hardware.
Enterprise storage is usually evaluated on three familiar dimensions: performance, capacity, and price. Those metrics matter. But they leave out a more fundamental question: Can you trust the data? That question deserves a much bigger role in enterprise infrastructure...
TrueNAS Connect is TrueNAS's browser-based management service — it lets you deploy, monitor, and update TrueNAS systems from one dashboard instead of logging into each one separately. Eight months after launch, TrueNAS Connect is on its way to a three-tier structure:...
The all-flash default made sense for a while. NVMe prices dropped fast enough that overprovisioning felt responsible. Why spend time designing careful storage tiers when flash was cheap enough to ignore the question? That logic expired somewhere around late 2025, when...
We recently launched TrueNAS 26 BETA.1, marking the first step towards our new annual release cadence. This shift replaces our previous twice-yearly software release schedule, and is designed to provide better quality, more predictable planning, and a clear path...
The full V-Series platform, sized for the workloads most teams actually run. There's a version of every storage refresh that ends with a system bigger and faster than the workload ever needed, plus a support contract to match. The headroom looks great on the spec...
Ransomware rarely starts at the storage layer. It begins with a credential leak, a phished endpoint, or an unpatched service. But for the enterprise, the financial and operational impact is decided in the first few hours of recovery, where leadership needs to answer...
Kubernetes clusters need storage, and that storage needs to work — automatically, reliably, and at scale. With the release of TrueNAS 25.10, we've rebuilt our Kubernetes integration from the ground up and earned Red Hat OpenShift certification in the process. If your...
The TrueNAS team spent three days on the NAB Show floor talking to post-production houses, broadcasters, storage architects, and IT directors. People came to us with real problems, real timelines, and in several cases, real frustration with the solutions they're...
Enterprise IT teams have been conditioned to accept tradeoffs: performance or cost, flash economics or HDD cost per terabyte, mission-critical resilience or data freedom. Most of these aren't technical constraints. They're decisions vendors force you to make. TrueNAS...
TrueNAS is taking a major leap forward with the first beta of TrueNAS 26, our initial version of a new series of annual software releases. Moving beyond the previous twice-yearly schedule, this change is a direct response to Community preference for annual releases....
