TrueNAS and OpenZFS

The Zettabyte File System (ZFS™) was developed by Sun Microsystems 2006 and released to the open source community as part of the Open Solaris initiative. After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle™, engineers from Sun founded the OpenZFS™ project to provide continued development and support for the product.

TrueNAS Server

The benefits of ZFS are significant:

  • Virtually limitless capacity and scalability
  • Copy-on-Write architecture for data safety and efficient snapshotting
  • Integrated software-defined RAID with checksums and validation
  • High-performance transparent compression and inline deduplication
  • Native encryption at the disk, pool, or dataset level
  • Integrated Read and Write caching with options for all-flash and hybrid pools
  • Integrated with FreeBSD, Linux, and many other operating systems

TrueNAS builds on the power of ZFS creating a comprehensive data sharing and management system that delivers a unified file, block, and object storage on top of ZFS.

With over 1 million installations, TrueNAS is the most widely deployed ZFS-based storage system.
