Quote of the Month
“I’m a committer to the FreeBSD project, so I’ve been a fan of iXsystems for a long time now. I like all the work they do for the FreeBSD community as well. We use FreeBSD here in our production environment, so the fact that TrueNAS is based on FreeBSD makes me feel more secure.”
