The world’s number one open-source operating system, TrueNAS brings the performance and features of the legendary OpenZFS file system in an easy to use package. Available in two free and open-source software versions, TrueNAS also comes as a professionally-supported Enterprise solution when coupled with iXsystems branded hardware.
The migration of FreeNAS to TrueNAS started in October 2020. The transition has been deliberately slow and methodical, while the efficiency gains have been every bit the windfall we anticipated. Over this period, many exabytes of data were carefully managed while the...
Accurately predicting storage performance and capacity needs for the next twelve months is a struggle for most customers, let alone predicting it over the entire 5+ year lifetime of a storage system. To make matters worse, even if it were possible to predict that far...
TrueCommand 2.0 is now available in the BETA version which represents a significant enhancement to its features and capabilities. The new version extends TrueCommand to manage, create, and delete datasets and snapshots.
TrueCommand Cloud is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version that can manage remote TrueNAS systems without the need for a pre-established VPN. It’s useful for travelers, professionals, and MSPs that want to manage remote TrueNAS systems without the need for dedicated networking or management infrastructure. It’s like a turnkey Network Operations Center (NOC) for TrueNAS. You can manage family, business, global enterprise, or multiple client TrueNAS systems (MSP model) from anywhere with a single web interface.
The TrueNAS Open Storage portfolio was expanded today with the addition of TrueCommand™ Cloud – a cloud-based service to simplify 24×365 TrueNAS management. As a major upgrade to the iXsystems Channel Partner Program, the cloud-based management software for TrueNAS deployments enables revenue producing services for partners moving into managed storage service delivery.
TrueCommand was launched in 2019 as a single pane of glass management system for FreeNAS and TrueNAS fleets. Since then, it has been adopted by over fifteen hundred organizations to manage their NAS fleets. TrueCommand can be deployed as a VM, or as a Docker container, and is available for Early Access as a Cloud service. Today, we are releasing the TrueCommand 1.3.2 minor update with a brand new logo that compliments the new TrueNAS CORE, Enterprise, and SCALE logo set.
TrueNAS and FreeNAS can both support virtualization workloads. FreeNAS is great for development, labs, and other non-critical use-cases. TrueNAS is a platform designed for critical applications where enterprise support and HA are generally needed for production. TrueNAS also includes vSphere certification and vCenter plugins to reduce operating costs and complexity. TrueCommand provides the “single pane of glass” for simplifying the management of many NAS systems and replication targets.

Can you imagine a nearly silent data center? Beginning in 2018, iXsystems partnered with the foremost company in liquid immersion solutions, Green Revolution Cooling, to design a line of liquid-immersion-ready servers. The servers have reversed rack ear designs that allow them to be submerged “face down” so their IO panels are readily accessible in the horizontal racks. This simplifies cabling and makes it easy to unrack systems in need of service. Among other customizations, the fans are disabled, the server heatsinks are equipped with Indium foil in place of thermal grease, and custom BIOS are applied.
iXsystems made its third visit to the NAB Show in Las Vegas last week. NAB remains one of the largest and most important shows in Las Vegas, consuming a total of six floors across all three exhibit halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Thanks to a recent partnership with Cantemo, a leading provider of media asset management tools, iXsystems presented a FreeNAS Mini XL running Cantemos’s iconik application at their booth.
