TrueNAS Community Edition (SCALE) Overview

Open Storage that Scales
TrueNAS® Community Edition (SCALE) is an Open Source Infrastructure solution. In addition to powerful scale-out storage capabilities, Community Edition (SCALE) adds Linux Containers and VMs (KVM) so your organization can run workloads closer to data.
Scale-Up or Scale-Out
OpenZFS with its excellent data management capabilities is the basis for all deployments. Scale-up by adding drives, or deploy scale-out object storage by adding multiple systems to a cluster. Deploy a single host in your home/office, or group nodes together for a highly scalable and highly available software-defined infrastructure.


Go Beyond Storage
TrueNAS Community Edition (SCALE) allows you to easily customize and expand functionality with a variety of free Apps, like Plex Media Server, NextCloud, Prometheus, Elastic Search, Emby, and many others.
