TrueNAS (Formally known as FreeNAS) is our top pick to act as a sturdy foundation for almost any network. This pony has 4 brilliant tricks that are easy to manage and super reliable.

Trick 1. (Storage)

One of our most common storage configurations is 8x 8TB (7.28 TiB) hard drives configured in a software version of RAID6 (RAIDZ2). This creates a single storage volume with a usable capacity of 41.25TiB with 2 additional drives that strengthens this volume to allow up to 2 physical drives to fail.

Trick 2. (Virtualization)

Host multiple servers without any additional hardware. The benefits to virtualizing your servers are many. The biggest benefit is backup and recovery. A virtualized server can be easily backed up each night in it's entirety through snapshots. (The ability to create a backup of an existing storage volume at a specific time.) Should you encounter an issue (Virus, Ransom ware, general software failure), your virtualized server can be restored to a previously working state almost instantly.

Trick 3. (Apps)

TrueNAS comes with it's own store loaded with preconfigured service applications that can really boost how you operate. VPNs for your road worriers and remote staff. Network wide traffic filters, desktop backup solutions and more.

Trick 4. (BACK UP)

Not only does TrueNAS allow you to backup your systems to itself, create snapshot backups of services and virtual machines, but it allows you to backup to other TrueNAS servers. The ultimate solution is to have a TrueNAS server on-site where you use it and another somewhere else. Another office, at home, leased hosting facility (Offered By CAMM Services).
