Quote of the Month
“We’ve been using TrueNAS for 12 months and our experience has been fantastic. We discovered the product while searching for reliable, high capacity storage at relatively low cost for our digital archival needs. Our pre-sales experience really made it clear that iXsystems understands the needs of enterprise customers and offers solutions and support that rival the biggest names in the storage industry. While we’ve fortunately had no issues with the solution we purchased, we did work with support to upgrade the system to an HA configuration several months after the initial purchase. We’re so pleased with the product we’ll actually be purchasing a second TrueNAS array this year for DR purposes. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better combination of capability, capacity, performance, reliability, and support for the cost.”
