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. > **[Learn more here](https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/truecommand-1-3-2/)** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Recession-proof System Specials on High Availability TrueNAS Systems (While Supplies Last)** [**![TrueNAS X-series](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/truenasMX_-1-1024x534.png)**](https://ixsystems.com/truenas/) During these challenging times, keeping budgets under control is more critical than ever.
