iXsystems has recently launched their latest line of storage appliances, known as TrueNAS Enterprise F-Series. These state-of-the-art models are equipped with all-NVMe drives to offer maximum performance, reliability, and density for even the most demanding workloads, while also reducing power consumption and total cost of ownership. In addition to the hardware release, iXsystems is also introducing the latest version of their TrueNAS SCALE (23.10) software.
With an impressive 720TB of highly available storage, a single 2U system featuring 30TB NVMe drives showcases the unparalleled capabilities of the TrueNAS Enterprise F-Series. This new solution not only provides outstanding performance, but also offers IT organisations the opportunity to take advantage of open-source options.
Designed for data-intensive applications like AI/ML, containerisation, virtualisation, content creation/editing, database servers, and gaming, the TrueNAS F-Series is perfect for a wide range of industries, including enterprises, governments, health organisations, service providers, media creation companies, educational institutes, research bodies, and more.
The TrueNAS F-Series provides two models: F100 with 30GB/s bandwidth per node and F60 with 20GB/s bandwidth per node. These NVMe-powered storage options boast low latency and impressive bandwidths exceeding 20GB/s.
The advanced hardware design of the TrueNAS F-Series ensures resilience and drive density, while its superior scalability allows for a range of configurations from a few terabytes to 720TB in just 2U. Combining both scale-up and scale-out technologies, the F-Series offers vast connectivity options and a dual-controller architecture for continuous accessibility and data protection. This makes it a highly efficient and reliable choice for modern business applications.
Senior Analyst at The Futurum Group, Dave Raffo, shared his thoughts on the TrueNAS F-Series: “With organisations increasingly looking for NVMe storage to support demanding workloads, choosing TrueNAS Enterprise provides future-proofing at a fraction of the cost of many other systems.”
TrueNAS Enterprise 23.10, which is Linux-based, is available across the entire iXsystems appliance portfolio. It offers a flexible and feature-rich storage environment with storage, computing, and container solutions. This platform stands out with its unique KVM virtualisation, native container support, Kubernetes integration, and the ability to scale up to 1,200 drives and 25PB+ in a single system.
Built on the robust OpenZFS 2.2 filesystem, TrueNAS Enterprise 23.10 guarantees impeccable data integrity and superior storage features to meet even the most data-intensive business needs.
Morgan Littlewood, Senior Vice President of Product Management at iXsystems, expressed his excitement for the TrueNAS Enterprise 23.10 and TrueNAS F-Series Storage release: “Our goal at iXsystems is to continually provide cutting-edge, open-source storage solutions. We are confident that these products will deliver exceptional value to users, particularly in the areas of Media and Entertainment (M&E) and IT workloads.”
TrueNAS Enterprise F-Series appliances and TrueNAS SCALE 23.10 are now available for purchase or download. The pricing for the TrueNAS F-Series varies depending on the system’s configuration. Upgrade to the superior performance and versatility of the TrueNAS Enterprise F-Series and experience the power of open-source storage solutions.
