Virtualization & Private Clouds
Maximize your budget
TrueNAS enterprise storage appliances offer an ideal set of features and scalability for virtualization and private clouds. All major hypervisors and private cloud environments work with TrueNAS.
Whether you are a small business, school or enterprise, there is a TrueNAS storage solution to help you stretch your budget.
Easy to use and operate
TrueNAS high availability (HA) systems connect to networks at speeds of up to 100 Gigabits and integrate with virtualization clusters to provide data storage and file sharing capabilities over block interfaces (iSCSI or FC) or file interfaces (SMB, NFS or S3 API). Quickly deploy and manage virtual environments through vCenter and TrueCommand.
Lowest latencies
TrueNAS supports hybrid and all-flash performance pools, even within the same platform. ZFS hybrid pools use intelligent caching techniques to get great value from disks. ZFS all-flash pools deliver sub-millisecond performance and more than 10x the IOPS.
Cost-effective scaling
TrueNAS lets you scale compute, storage capacity and performance independently. Add more compute at a lower cost, without sacrificing storage Add more hard drives or SSDs without requiring more compute. Each TrueNAS M50 system can support up to 5,000 VMs.
Flexible Backups
TrueNAS ZFS replication can efficiently back up a NAS to a remote NAS and achieve very low recovery time goals. Use a performance TrueNAS as a backup and disaster recovery (DR) destination.
Your Private Cloud
Turnkey VMware Solutions
TrueNAS is certified with VMware’s vSphere platform and can scale to support 10 to 5,000 VMs. ESXi hosts connect to TrueNAS via iSCSI/FC with VAAI or NFSv3. A TrueNAS plugin can be installed in vCenter to automate the management of TrueNAS systems. vCenter then provides the built-in console for managing VMs and datastores. The VMs can also share data over SMB or NFS. The same TrueNAS system can also support non-virtualized workloads simultaneously, such as media storage, backup, and databases.
All-Flash VM Performance
Flash has changed performance expectations for applications and users. User response times must be less than a millisecond, and critical applications expect their databases to be fast. TrueNAS all-flash systems deliver sub-millisecond performance with performance of over 100,000 IOPS (32K size). This is enough power for over 5,000 virtual desktops or simple VMs.
Open Virtualization
With support for multiple open source hypervisors and virtual environments, including OpenStack, Cloudstack, and Citrix, TrueNAS is the ideal platform for open virtualization. Hypervisors (e.g. KVM, XCP-ng, XenServer) are supported over iSCSI or NFS datastores, and file sharing between application nodes is done over NFS or SMB. TrueNAS also provides REST APIs to support CloudStack and OpenStack controllers.
