New TrueCommand Release Brings Early Access to Cloud Service and New Logo
TrueCommand was launched in 2019 as a single pane of glass management system for FreeNAS and TrueNAS fleets. Since then, it has been adopted by over fifteen hundred organizations to manage their NAS fleets. TrueCommand can be deployed as a VM or as a Docker container, and is available for Early Access as a Cloud service. Today, we are releasing the TrueCommand 1.3.2 minor update with a brand new logo that compliments the new TrueNAS CORE, Enterprise, and SCALE logo set.

We calculated a significant delta. Based on our testing and analysis, we found that iXsystems can typically offer up to double the performance at half the cost of their major competitors.”
