In one review, a healthcare industry CIO user stated, “We have used TrueNAS arrays for around five years. We started with one array five years ago to run one very specific workload. It has operated in that area for five years with very minimal issues and has performed as sold the whole time. Due to a planned hardware refresh currently underway when we got to selecting storage for the entire project it was a very easy decision for us. We choose TrueNAS to run as primary storage for all workloads in both datacenters. We have already gotten a few of the new arrays as well as have more coming. The new units excel even past our expectations by way of build quality and performance.”

In another review, an infrastructure and operations professional for a midsize media and entertainment company said, “We started using TrueNAS Core as a way to repurpose older storage into backup systems. As time went by, we realized TrueNAS and iXsystems had a great offering not only because TrueNAS was open-source and free, it was because they had elevated their Enterprise offerings as well. Features, Support and Reliability are all together a hallmark of iXsystems.”

Finally, an enterprise architecture and technology innovation executive at an enterprise-class communications services provider noted, “We acquired our TrueNAS storage to replace another solution that was running out of storage space and performance declining. TrueNAS has been in production for about 9 months now. All in all, our engineering group has been very pleased with the performance of this TrueNAS solution. Our build cycle has decreased from 5 hours to 1.5 hours on the TrueNAS. iXsystems has also been a good partner all through the purchase and deployment. They gave us a turnkey solution, and we had the system up and running within two days. We have more storage requirements coming up and iXsystems / TrueNAS is definitely the leading player going forward.”
