Globally Distributed Storage Comes to TrueNAS

iXsystems is partnering with Storj, an innovator in Web3 storage, to deliver Globally Distributed Storage (GDS) for TrueNAS users. The GDS service called iX-Storj is first available on TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin BETA and will soon be available for all versions of TrueNAS in Q4 2022. GDS stores data redundantly across a globally distributed network and provides an option for a second or third geographic location for data backups or archives.

Check out the iX-Storj Blog to learn more.

Tech Tip #115

Because TrueNAS SCALE is provided as an .ISO file, it works on all virtual machine solutions (VMware, VirtualBox, Citrix Hypervisor, etc). If you’re interested in installing SCALE on a VM on Windows, you can use VMware Workstation Player.

To learn more about installing SCALE on a VM or on physical hardware, read the TrueNAS SCALE release notes.
