iXsystems Unleashes New TrueNAS SCALE Open Source HCI Platform and R-Series Storage Systems for Maximum Performance and Flexibility
iXsystems, the mastermind behind the popular TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) software, has done it again. This time, they’ve expanded and scaled out both their hardware and software offerings. And the most exciting news? The release of the new TrueNAS SCALE Open Source HyperConverged Infrastructure Platform and R-Series storage systems.
For those unfamiliar, iXsystems had previously hinted at the TrueNAS SCALE platform, but it is now officially here. And with it comes even more possibilities, thanks to its scaleout ZFS, KVM, and Kubernetes capabilities. Plus, the company also announced the launch of the R-Series storage solution, replacing the FreeNAS certified hardware and providing exceptional performance and reliability for those on a budget.
The R-Series comes in four models, each tailored for different workgroups and needs. The TrueNAS R50, starting at $9,990 MSRP, is a 4U system with 48 bays and up to 16 CPU cores, offering a maximum capacity of 890TB. The high-density TrueNAS R40, priced at $8,990 MSRP, is a 2U all-flash system with 48 bays and up to 16 CPU cores, providing a capacity of 360TB. The TrueNAS R20, starting at $4,990 MSRP, is a 2U system with 12 bays and up to 16 CPU cores, offering a capacity of 230TB. And finally, the compact TrueNAS R10, priced at $5,990 MSRP, is a 1U all-flash system with 16 bays and up to 10 CPU cores, providing 120TB of capacity.
But the big news doesn’t stop there. iXsystems has also released the TrueNAS SCALE platform, available as open source Debian-Linux based software or as an appliance. With its ability to operate from a single node and scale up to over 100 nodes, TrueNAS SCALE is a unique and easy-to-manage HCI platform for converged compute and scale-out Open ZFS storage. And for those in the enterprise space, the added benefit of enterprise-grade support and tools makes this a highly attractive option.
