TrueNAS SCALE Overview

Open Storage that Scales

Open Storage that Scales

TrueNAS® SCALE is an Open Source Infrastructure solution. In addition to powerful scale-out storage capabilities, SCALE adds Linux Containers and VMs (KVM) so your organization can run workloads closer to data.

Scale-Up or Scale-Out

OpenZFS with its excellent data management capabilities is the basis for all deployments. Scale-up by adding drives, or deploy scale-out object storage by adding multiple systems to a cluster. Deploy a single host in your home/office, or group nodes together for a highly scalable and highly available software-defined infrastructure.

Go Beyond Storage

Go Beyond Storage

TrueNAS SCALE allows you to easily customize and expand functionality with a variety of free Apps, like Plex Media Server, NextCloud, Prometheus, Elastic Search, Emby, and many others. It also provides simple access to the well-established Linux container ecosystem, with support for KVM virtual machines, Kubernetes, and Docker containers.

Join Millions in the TrueNAS Community

With a global community of testers and contributors, the TrueNAS Open Source development model enables broader testing, and ultimately, a higher quality product, in addition to its unbeaten value. Join the “Storage Freedom” movement and enjoy the benefits of Open Source economics.
