FreeNAS – a free and open source operating system equipped with a NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server.
NAS is a technology that allows you to connect disk storage resources directly to a computer network. Thanks to this solution, you can easily configure access to data located in one place from different points in the network.
FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD and is released under the BSD license.
Key features/capabilities include:
– can run on i386 and x86_64 processors
– support for Linux, MS Windows and OSX clients
– support for many virtualization systems, such as XenServer and VMware
– support for CIFS, AFP, NFS, iSCSI, SSH, rsync and FTP/TFTP protocols
– support for full disk cryptography
– support for installing third party plugins
Thanks to the interface, FreeNAS can be managed and controlled via the web interface.
The project was founded by Olivier Cochard-Labbé in 2005.
Since version 9.3, FreeNAS is only offered for 64-bit machines.
Version 10 was renamed from numeric to text “Corral”.
The project changed its name to TrueNAS.
