iXsystems has released the TrueNAS SCALE 22.12 distribution, which utilizes the Linux kernel and Debian package base (previously released products from this company, including TrueOS, PC-BSD, TrueNAS, and FreeNAS, were based on FreeBSD). Like TrueNAS CORE (FreeNAS), TrueNAS SCALE can be downloaded and used for free. The ISO image size is 1.6 GB. The source texts specific to TrueNAS SCALE build scripts, web interface, and layers have been published on GitHub. <\/p>\n

TrueNAS CORE products based on FreeBSD and TrueNAS SCALE based on Linux are developed in parallel and complement each other by using a shared codebase and standard web interface. The provision of an additional version based on the Linux kernel is explained by the desire to implement some ideas that cannot be achieved using FreeBSD. Notably, this is not the first initiative of its kind \u2014 in 2009, the FreeNAS distribution split off OpenMediaVault, which was converted to the Linux kernel and Debian package system. <\/p>\n

One of the key improvements in TrueNAS SCALE is the ability to create storage that spans multiple nodes, while TrueNAS CORE (FreeNAS) is positioned as a single-server solution. In addition to increased scalability, TrueNAS SCALE also features the use of isolated containers, simplification for infrastructure management<\/a> and suitability for creating software-defined infrastructures. The ZFS (OpenZFS) file system is used in TrueNAS SCALE. TrueNAS SCALE provides support for Docker containers, KVM-based virtualization, and ZFS scaling across multiple nodes using the distributed file system Gluster. <\/p>\n

To organize access to storage, SMB, NFS, iSCSI Block Storage, S3 Object API, and Cloud Sync are supported. For secure access, connections can be made via VPN<\/a> (OpenVPN). Storage can be deployed on a single node and then gradually horizontally scaled by adding additional nodes as needs grow. In addition to handling storage management tasks, nodes can also be used to provide services and run applications in containers orchestrated by the Kubernetes platform or in KVM-based virtual machines.
