Four options to cover any requirement

We pursue one goal with our open storage systems (OSS): We want to provide you with a flexible hardware platform that does not limit you to a particular storage software. With the development of four variants, you have ample choices: Are you looking for capacity, performance, a system for the office or a versatile system for your IT infrastructure?

The first version is OSS Basic. The hardware includes 12x 3.5” hard drives as well as 2x 80 GB SATA SSDs in a 2U form factor with an SAS-3 expander backplane. Our Basic version is designed as an entry unit for SMEs looking for a storage solution. All of our OSS models are equipped with high-performance Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 processors.

The second variant is OSS Capacity: a 4U system with a total of 36x 3.5” hard drives. This gives you a maximum of 360 TB (gross) storage for your data and applications, while the hardware is ideal for use in long-term archiving and backup-to-disk applications with large data volumes. The 2U all-flash OSS Performance system provides you with maximum performance – offering 24x 2.5” slots and approximately 43 TB of storage. If you want to use your storage for virtualization or database applications, this is the choice for you. However, if you are looking for a system for your office, then OSS Office is the right choice, as this storage system is optimized for use in offices and smaller locations.

TrueNAS CORE* as an open source storage manager

On request, we can pre-install the TrueNAS CORE* open source software when you purchase your new open storage system. This option is already preselected in the configurator. If you do not need TrueNAS CORE*, you can simply deselect it - you will then receive your storage hardware with a pre-installed Ubuntu test system. Our systems have been optimized for the use of TrueNAS CORE*, which is why you can rely on full functionality.

The TrueNAS CORE* unified storage manager is an independent and flexible alternative to commercial storage applications. Using the storage management solution is particularly worthwhile if you rely on open source technologies such as ZFS, Ceph or OpenStack and require a powerful, unified storage platform. Thanks to TrueNAS CORE*, storage resources are easily managed via a web-based interface, which significantly reduces your administration effort.
