TrueNAS M-Series for enterprise

All-flash or hybrid of hard disk and flash memory? The M-Series can do both. The combination of extensive system RAM, NVDIMM, and NVMe flash as layered cache delivers industry-leading read and write efficiency and optimizes primary storage performance.

Flash pools are congested, and high-density disk pools deliver low-latency flash performance with disk capacity and cost. Fusion Pools, which consist of both disk and flash, offer the best of both worlds. With up to four 100Gb/s network ports per controller, the TrueNAS M-Series is designed to move terabytes at maximum speed.

Scale Up or “SCALE” Out

Start building a scalable, hyper-converged virtualization infrastructure with SCALE or use Enterprise for high-performance, ultra-reliable local HA storage. Expand to over 20 PB on a single M60 head unit with support for up to 12 expansion shelves, or use TrueNAS SCALE to cluster over 100 systems together for massive capacity and performance.

Storage you can rely on

Unsurpassed data security in software and hardware. The OpenZFS file system is the ultimate in data security. Copy-on-write and bit-red detection ensure the integrity of your data from write to read. Dual controllers and high availability options provide over 99.999% uptime to keep your business running and applications running 24/7.

Hardware management and upgrades, simplified

Maintaining an M Series system is simplified by the modular, tool-less hardware design. Additional built-in enclosure management features save time and effort by providing a graphical representation of the system in the user interface, allowing you to monitor the health of your system from a single screen. As performance or capacity requirements change over time, a non-disruptive upgrade to higher-end M-Series controllers is easy.

Professional White Glove Support

In the unlikely event of a failure, you can rest easy knowing that all TrueNAS M-Series systems are backed by iXsystems’ professional support team in the USA. Flexible Bronze, Silver and Gold support options are available to help you achieve your goals.

TrueNAS M-Series in detail

Designed for maximum ZFS performance and high availability, and storage remains affordable. With advanced read and write caching and expansion to over 1200 drives, the M-Series is ideal for multi-PB storage. For high-performance applications, all-flash storage with TLC or QLC flash can provide low latency and very high IOPS at industry-leading prices.
