Simplified Operations
TrueCommand is a ZFS-aware solution allowing you to set custom alerts on statistics like ARC usage or pool capacity, ensuring storage uptime and future planning. TrueCommand also identifies and pinpoints errors on drives or vdevs (RAID groups), saving you valuable time when troubleshooting and resolving issues.
Use TrueCommand Cloud – Software as a Service
TrueCommand Cloud is a secure and easy-to-use cloud service. Each TrueCommand instance is hosted by iXsystems® in a private cloud and uses WireGuard VPN technology to secure communications with each NAS system and with each user or storage admin.
- Subscriptions start at $6 per month for 30 drives and are based on the number of drives.
