TrueNAS

We use TrueNAS for storage of production data as well as a backup destination. We've also begin heavily using it's virtualization and container features.

• Virtualize 30 machines as backup destinations off of one node
• Eliminate licensing costs for full replication from other vendors
• Eliminate the need for additional physical servers as we scale

recover files & folder information from shadow copy after delete o r damaged file, folder or disk from user computer. its a really useful dataset features. Other awesome feature is the plugins either from IXsytem or from the community. this last has a extensive apps catalog that the user can install and customize.

• Reduce the invenstment in license.
• Allow increase the investent in hardware for better performance
• optimize the IT resurces with better support and service uptime

Over the years I have used several large enterprise storage solutions and TrueNas is Top of my list. I started with downloading the software on older enterprise hardware, and with this next project we are deploying 3 TrueNas hardware solutions along with 3 Host servers all purchased from TrueNas. A Mini-R storage solution is serving NFS shares directly, and the other solutions, a M30 and Mini-R will run all of our virtual infrastructure and backup-storage. Having a dual controller option was an absolute must on this project. I would highly recommend checking out TrueNas, or at the very least give the sales engineers a call and talk through your project to see if TrueNas is a good fit.

• With limited Budget, TrueNAS provides everything we needed
• Great SLA on purchased devices

We use the TrueNAS Minis in our branch offices for file shares. Excellent little units. We couldn't be happier with them.

• The low cost of the minis have made getting a file server in a branch location a no brainer.

I've been using TrueNAS for a bit now, and honestly, it's a game-changer for me. Before diving into TrueNAS, I was juggling external drives like it was my job. Enter TrueNAS, and suddenly, all my storage woes seem like a thing of the past.

A few reasons I like it are:

Find My Stuff: Everything’s in one place. Movies, music, work files – you name it. I can get to it from any device at home, which is super handy.

ZFS is Magic: Heard about ZFS? It's this techy thing that basically makes sure my data doesn’t get corrupted. Knowing my files are safe is a big relief.It Grows with You: Started with just a couple of old drives I had lying around. As I needed more space, adding more was a breeze.

Snapshots keep several versions of your files so you get a layer of protection incase things go really bad. Which is a huge +

• non either way we simply use it internally
