TrueNAS

My organization uses TrueNAS Scale to run file servers for local data storage and backup and host Windows virtual machines. This solution is far superior to manually setting up a Linux server distro with all the packages and configurations for file shares and virtual machines. While I'm accustomed to using the terminal, I welcome the in-browser graphical UI which anyone can use. Remote administration has never been easier for me and my colleagues, with even those unfamiliar with Linux being able to pick up on things very quickly due to the intuitive design. We deploy NAS and server solutions for clients which can be remotely accessed by us for easy maintenance and administration.

I setup TrueNAS Scale on a decommissioned engineering desktop I salvaged from being recycled in order to replace a 15 year old NAS appliance that was being decommissioned. It was incredibly simple to install and get going off the bat. I've had no performance issues with my setup, and am pleasantly surprised with the various applications (containers) I was able to get up and running with relative ease having never used a TrueNAS system before. I can't wait to really get into the weeds and test out the more advanced features of the system (potentially even serving as a sandbox hypervisor environment)!

We are mainly using TrueNAS as a Storage Service Provider for our local network. Storing Data, Sharing Data and processing Data through various channels. The management of ZFS Storage is kept really simple in the UI and can be left untouched when it is all setup.<br>Therefor providing a higher level of management without that big of a learning curve.

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.

Our old NAS was long in tooth and backups were very slow. We were also bumping up on a storage capacity cap. We use our TrueNAS server for mission-critical backups and the speed and power are excellent.
