Veeam usually means two systems, a backup server and separate storage, sized and patched on their own.

The Veeam Software Appliance now runs as a VM on the TrueNAS array. F-Series and V-Series are first certified under Veeam’s new All-In-One category.

Block, file, and object for your AI pipeline don’t need three separate arrays. Adding a new protocol can just mean turning on a service on the pool you’re already running, not buying another box.

90% of VMware users are exploring options because of licensing costs, per @arstechnica. Proxmox VE has become one of the default landing spots for teams leaving VMware, and TrueNAS is already a common storage layer underneath those clusters.

The new TrueNAS Proxmox Plugin lets Proxmox provision, snapshot, resize, migrate, and delete TrueNAS-backed VM disks directly. (link in comments)

Cloud pricing works great until your data stops behaving like cloud data.

62% of enterprises blew past their cloud storage budget last year. Usually not overuse, just the wrong workload on the wrong pricing model.

Running OME-Zarr over S3 locally adds two translation hops you don't need.

Point it at NFS instead.

The TrueNAS × Proxmox plug-in is out!

Here's what people are saying....

Here's 7 things worth checking before you make a purchase decision on enterprise storage, from protocol coverage to what "effective capacity" actually means on a quote.

We are back again with Storage Horoscopes!

It's officially the month of Libra and you know what it means. Eleven months of NAS research, still no purchase, one external drive that maybe backs up on Tuesdays.

Most post-production shops size flash storage to their whole media library, not to what's actually being worked on.

Fox's Newman Scoring Stage does it differently: active sessions run on flash, delivered work sits on disk, and OpenZFS checksums and snapshots cover both.

VMware's licensing pushed you onto Proxmox. Your storage shouldn't have to make that same forced jump.

The new TrueNAS Proxmox Plugin provisions and snapshots TrueNAS-backed VM disks directly. No manual iSCSI LUN management.

If your database VMs feel slow despite plenty of storage, check how the pool is laid out before you blame the drives.

Picture a 12-wide RAIDZ3 pool built from drives rated at 250 IOPS each. That pool still delivers 250 IOPS total, the same as running on one drive alone, no matter how many disks you add. All that extra capacity. None of the extra IOPS.

Mirrors don't have that ceiling. Every mirrored pair adds its own IOPS to the total, which is why database and VM storage gets mirrors while wide RAIDZ is better saved for backups and file shares, where streaming speed and capacity matter more than raw IOPS.

A ZFS snapshot can't be altered because of how the filesystem writes data in the first place. ZFS writes every update to new, empty space instead of overwriting the old, so a snapshot's contents can never be edited or overwritten again.

That permanence only covers the contents, though. The snapshot itself can still be deleted under normal retention policy, unless someone's placed a Hold on it, which only a Full Administrator can release. For ransomware recovery, that gap is the point: the accounts handling daily snapshot work aren't the accounts that can erase your last copy.
