In 2018, the Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance proved to be the ultimate winner in the backup and disaster recovery hardware category according to Storage Magazine and SearchStorage. Its impressive software integrated with powerful hardware from iXsystems Inc. make it a top-performing data protection and backup solution.
Advanced Protection Against Ransomware
With Asigra’s Cloud Backup Evolved V14, this appliance offers advanced detection and prevention of malicious malware, such as ransomware, that can jeopardize your backup copies. It takes a proactive approach by securing backup and restore streams, varying file names to avoid detection, and requiring two-factor authentication to delete backup files.
Built-in Features for Optimal Performance
The Asigra TrueNAS Backup Appliance utilizes iXsystems’ TrueNAS hardware and OpenZFS file system to provide essential features like replication, deduplication, and compression. This results in a data protection solution that is designed to be highly available, fast, and scalable – handling up to 10 petabytes per system.

With the lowest-capacity model starting at $10,000 and offering 60 TB of storage, and the high-end configuration supporting up to 10 petabytes, it’s a cost-effective choice for any size business. One judge highlighted its “great functionality and good pricing.”
