Now, storage seller iXsystems is starting a brand new R-series hyperconverged infrastructure blower because of the TrueNAS product lineup –along with the very first beta release of TrueNAS SCALE, a Debian Linux-based variant of the TrueNAS storage supply.

The newest R-series appliances are made to operate either conventional, FreeBSD-based TrueNAS, or even the brand new Debian-based TrueNAS SCALE. The show starts with four versions –all of rack-mounted–including the 1U, 16-bay TrueNAS R10 into the around 12U, 52 bay TrueNAS R50. All four versions provide Ethernet connectivity around double 100GbE, in addition to optional double 32Gb Fibre Channel and Intel Xeon CPUs. The three bigger versions are expandable via different JBOD shelves also.

TrueNAS itself is a OpenZFS-based storage supply, which may be bought on NAS hardware or set up by consumers in their generic PC gear.  It gives users the abundant feature set of this ZFS filesystem–such as block-level checksums and information recovery, innovative storage topologies, nuclear COW snapshots, quick asymmetric replication, along with longer –combined with a wide variety of network sharing protocols, such as SMB, NFS, sFTP, along with iSCSI.
