### Share Files. Serve Media. Store *Anything*.

TrueNAS can be used throughout the Enterprise from office to the data center for a variety of data-intensive use cases. IT professionals, photographers, designers, audio/video producers and editors, developers, and any user serious about storing and protecting lots of data can take advantage of TrueNAS CORE. Pair it with your favorite backup software to archive large quantities of infrequently used data off of your local devices and even sync and push data to the cloud.

![Built on OpenZFS](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Built-on-OpenZFS.png "Built on OpenZFS")

### Nothing Protects Your Data Like ZFS

At the heart of TrueNAS is the self-healing [OpenZFS](https://www.truenas.com/zfs/) filesystem. Previously only available on the highest-end enterprise storage systems, TrueNAS gives you direct, user-friendly access to ZFS. With its built-in RAID, powerful data management tools, and ability to automatically detect and repair silent data corruption (and bit rot), TrueNAS and OpenZFS ensure data integrity from start to finish.

### Go Beyond “NAS”

More than a traditional “Network Attached Storage”, TrueNAS is Unified Storage that integrates seamlessly into any environment with a variety of file, block, or object access protocols. You can also expand its functionality using [FreeBSD Jails](https://www.truenas.com/apps/#plugins), like Plex Media Server, NextCloud, Syncthing, and others.

![Protect and Serve](https://www.truenas.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Protect-and-Serve.png "Protect and Serve")

### Manage Your Data With Ease

Unlimited snapshots, clones, and replication add additional layers to safeguard your data from human error or external threats like ransomware. Add system memory (DRAM) and flash to supercharge performance. Use built-in data compression to maximize space. Manage it all from a user-friendly web interface.

TrueNAS has a comprehensive yet easy to use management interface that allows you to quickly accomplish sophisticated tasks. Our API allows Turnkey DevOps integration.

### Join the TrueNAS Community
