Overall Satisfaction with TrueNAS
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.
- Ease of Use
- Production Speed
- Reliability and uptime
- Cost to operate
- Better explanations on how Caching works with RAM and SLOG
- With limited Budget, TrueNAS provides everything we needed
- Great SLA on purchased devices
- QNAP NAS, EMC VNX (Discontinued) and Nimble
Flexibility in Storage, configuration, and ability to scale the solution as needed. The GUI is straight forward. Finding help in the forums is also on point. Great community and support that you don't find with other products.
