Backup is like insurance — you only need it when something goes wrong. The value of backups is to shorten restore times and get a business back to work quicker. Our customers agree, as customer surveys show that more than half of them use TrueNAS to store their backup images.

Analysts have shown that TrueNAS storage arrays offer one of the best values for your storage dollar when evaluating features, performance, and capacity. Combining TrueNAS with a backup product lets administrators improve their data transfer throughput and reduce the amount of time to backup each VM significantly. Administrators can utilize their same procedures to protect their applications with TrueNAS as they currently do, while also gaining the benefits of TrueNAS’ wide variety of storage services, protocols, superior performance and advanced data protection.

I would like to announce that iXsystems has become a Veeam Technology Alliance Partner. This partnership allows us to validate TrueNAS with Veeam’s availability solutions, resulting in joint product offerings for our mutual customers. Using TrueNAS with Veeam lets administrators get 3x-4x faster backups than using local disk.

Combining TrueNAS with Veeam lets the customer use an enterprise storage array that has all the features and performance of other alternatives at less than half their price. It also means that Veeam administrators can utilize Veeam’s Direct SAN Access transport mode to connect to the TrueNAS Enterprise Storage Array using iSCSI letting them keep their backup data on an enterprise storage array instead of relying upon a server with local storage.

TrueNAS is based on OpenZFS and gives customers a self-healing file system for their backup storage, which means that their backup data stays pristine and secure.
