iXsystems: Unlock the Power of Open Source Data Storage
“Revolutionizing Data Storage: Introducing TrueNAS SCALE by iXsystems!”
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 22, 2022 – Leading the charge in Open Source innovation, iXsystems® proudly announces the second release of TrueNAS SCALE – the ultimate solution for scale-out storage and open hyperconvergence. Boasting new features such as High Availability and support for SMB clustering, TrueNAS SCALE has quickly become the go-to choice for businesses looking for reliable and cost-effective storage solutions.
TrueNAS SCALE is built on Linux and offers a range of capabilities including Docker Containers, Kubernetes, KVM, and Scale-out OpenZFS – all with the added benefit of Open Source economics. This second major update, aptly named “Angelfish”, has been tested and approved by over 20,000 users in just four months.
One of the standout features of TrueNAS SCALE is its support for multiple clustering options, including SMB, Gluster, and NFS File Sharing, iSCSI Block Storage, S3 Object API integration, and Cloud Sync. With the addition of SMB clustering, clients have access to hundreds of petabytes of capacity and terabits of bandwidth per second, making it easier for businesses to manage and distribute their data.
TrueCommand 2.2, the powerful software for managing fleets of TrueNAS systems, has also been updated to take advantage of TrueNAS SCALE’s advanced capabilities. With wizards for creating SMB clusters and improved performance and error handling, TrueCommand 2.2 is set to be released in mid-July 2022.
“We’ve experienced firsthand the flexibility and reliability of TrueNAS as a software defined storage platform. Its ability to handle a variety of workloads, such as virtual machines and containerized applications, has been essential for meeting our customer’s needs,” says Trevor Carlson, Vice President of Engineering at THUMBWAR. “We also appreciate iX’s commitment to Open Source, which allows us to quickly test and implement new ideas on reliable and production-ready software.”
TrueNAS is available for download at no cost as Open Storage software or as pre-configured appliances with enterprise-grade features and support. Despite supply chain issues, iXsystems has the inventory to deliver TrueNAS appliances to customers within weeks.
Kris Moore, SVP of Engineering at iXsystems, adds, “We’ve seen an incredible adoption rate among Linux admins and have received fantastic feedback as TrueNAS SCALE continues to evolve. With the addition of new features appealing to both personal and enterprise users, we expect to see even more momentum in the Open Source community.”
