About SoftNAS

SoftNAS is a cloud-native, software-defined, full-featured enterprise cloud NAS filer product line for primary data storage, secondary storage and hybrid cloud data integration. It enables existing applications to securely migrate to and connect with the cloud without re-engineering.

With enterprise-class NAS features like: high-availability, deduplication, compression, thin-provisioning, snapshots, replication, cloning, encryption (at rest and in transit), LDAP and Active Directory integration, and support for NFS, CIFS, iSCSI or AFP storage protocols, SoftNAS protects mission-critical and primary, active/hot data, backup/archive data and makes cloud data migration faster and more reliable.

SoftNAS offers the broadest range of storage options in terms of price vs. performance and backend storage selection, on-demand at petabyte scale across the AWS and Azure Marketplaces or on-premises on VMware.

TrueNAS is the world's most deployed storage software. TrueNAS is a universal data platform that allows users to easily adopt a modern, open source approach to storing and protecting their growing data. TrueNAS is open source and harnesses the power of the legendary ZFS file system to provide unified storage (File, Block Object, and Apps) with the reliability and performance demanded by virtualization, backup, and many other data-heavy workloads.

The TrueNAS SCALE edition is based on Debian Linux for either scale-up or scale-out solutions, and offers Linux Containers, VMs (KVM), and scale-out ZFS storage capabilities. Both are known to work well on standard hardware. Join the millions already using TrueNAS, including the majority of Fortune 500 companies, and experience why TrueNAS is very highly rated for yourself.

ArchiverFS
ArchiverFS
(2 Ratings)
ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.
