Meet the newest members of the TrueNAS Enterprise portfolio: F60 and F100, two models from the all-new TrueNAS F-Series high-performance line of all-NVMe systems. This new series is designed for maximum performance, reliability, and density to support organizations with ultra-demanding workloads. Organizations now have a new choice for their performance-centric workloads alongside other models in the portfolio that are optimized for capacity.
Like other TrueNAS Enterprise appliances, the TrueNAS F-Series supports file, block, and object protocols and provides all the rich OpenZFS data management capabilities. All appliances can be provided with iXsystems’ award-winning enterprise support.
The TrueNAS F-Series has two models to choose from:
- F100 – Up to 24 NVMe Gen4 SSDs per 2U system for 720TB, up to 30GB/s bandwidth per node with 6x 40/100 GbE optical NICs, 800W typical power draw
- F60 – Up to 24 NVMe Gen4 SSDs per 2U system for 720TB, up to 20GB/s bandwidth per node with 4x 40/100 GbE optical NICs, 800W typical power draw
The new F-Series models are ideal for data-intensive use cases, including AI/ML, containerization, content creation, database servers, gaming, virtualization, and more. The new series has been eagerly awaited by TrueNAS Enterprise customers in government, healthcare, service providers, media creation, higher education, and other organizations in need of high-performance storage for their critical data.
TrueNAS F-Series appliances ship with the latest version of TrueNAS software, TrueNAS Enterprise 23.10. These all-NVMe models were designed for maximum performance, reliability, and density to serve the most demanding workloads. Compared to prior models from iX, the F-Series offers significant reductions in all-flash power, space, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The next-generation hardware design supports up to 24 dual-ported Gen 4 NVMe SSDs. With 30TB NVMe drives, a single 2U system can support up to 720TB of highly available storage. A companion NVMe expansion shelf support arrives later in 2024 which will enable the F-Series to scale beyond 3.5PB.
TrueNAS F-Series Storage Highlights:
- High-Performance: NVMe-powered storage for low latency and bandwidths up to 30GB/s reads.
- High Availability: Dual-controller architecture provides continuous accessibility, preventing data downtime.
- Superior Scalability: The F-Series easily scales from tens of terabytes to 720TB in 2U, meeting a wide range of user requirements.
- Maximum Data Mobility: The TrueNAS F-Series provides a vast array of replication and data mobility options to maximize flexibility in data workflows.
- Future-Ready Design: Built for modern business applications and related performance challenges.
