Why TrueNAS SCALE?
At the heart of any storage system is the symbiotic interaction between the file system and physical storage devices.
The ZFS file system in TrueNAS provides the best available data protection of any file system at any price, and utilizes both spinning disk and all-flash storage, or a mix of both, very effectively. ZFS is prepared for the eventual failure of storage devices. It is highly configurable to achieve a perfect balance between redundancy and performance to meet any storage goal.
A properly configured TrueNAS system can tolerate the failure of multiple storage devices and even recreate its boot media with a copy of the configuration file.
Data freedom with TrueNAS Scale
Hyperconverged Infrastructure
TrueNAS® SCALE is an open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution. SCALE is based on TrueNAS CORE and adds Linux containers, VMs (KVM) and scalable ZFS storage capabilities.
SCALE is currently in BETA and is only recommended for early adopters who have a backup plan.
Scale-Out ZFS
OpenZFS and Gluster are combined to enable scalable ZFS capabilities with excellent data management.
Deploy a single hyperconverged node in a home/office or cluster nodes together for a highly scalable and highly available software-defined infrastructure.
Based on Open Source
TrueNAS SCALE is open source, based on Debian Linux and is free to download and use.
With hundreds of thousands of testers and contributors, the TrueNAS community development model, in addition to its unmatched value, enables more comprehensive testing and ultimately a higher quality product.
Join the “Storage Freedom” movement and enjoy the benefits of the open source economy.
Manage storage clusters and fleets
Cluster many systems with SCALE and manage them all with TrueCommand. TrueCommand makes it easy to monitor and manage all your systems from a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
– NAS fleet dashboard
– Single sign-on to all NAS devices
– Custom alerts and reports
– Fast fault management and diagnostics
Beyond data storage
TrueNAS SCALE provides easy access to the established Linux container ecosystem and simplifies application deployment.
With support for KVM virtual machines, Kubernetes, and Docker containers, you can easily customize and add applications to meet a variety of needs.
Which hardware to use for TrueNAS SCALE?
From repurposed systems to highly custom builds, TrueNAS offers Software Defined Storage (SDS) and runs on any x86_64 server.
We recommend the TrueNAS R-Series, TrueNAS X-Series or our TrueNAS Mini systems for use with TrueNAS SCALE. All TrueNAS Mini systems come with TrueNAS Core and are pre-configured, and we can also install TrueNAS SCALE for you if you wish.
Did you know that every TrueNAS system is subject to strict quality controls? Each of our TrueNAS systems undergoes a one-week quality test to ensure that your hardware is working properly.
No license fees, no hidden costs! There are no license fees for TrueNAS Core, SCALE and Enterprise.
