The TrueNAS team has been moving fast, launching new releases, expanding features, and engaging with industry leaders on the future of enterprise storage.
Industry Recognition: TrueNAS Named “Data Storage Company of the Year 2025” by CIO Review
We’re excited to share that TrueNAS was named “Data Storage Company of the Year 2025” by CIOReview. This recognition reflects the real-world success of our users and community.
CIOReview highlighted TrueNAS for its transparency, predictable performance, and open enterprise architecture that gives organizations full control of their data strategy. With more than 40 percent annual growth since 2021 and a 4.9 out of 5 rating across more than 275 reviews on Gartner Peer Insights, TrueNAS continues to be a trusted foundation for AI workloads, virtualization, backup, media pipelines, research computing, and more.
TrueNAS Powers Amazon Prime Video’s Global NBA Production
When Amazon Prime Video launched its massive new production ecosystem for NBA on Prime, it needed reliable, high-performance storage to handle one of the most complex live broadcast operations ever built.
At the heart of this infrastructure is a 7-petabyte NVMe storage system from TrueNAS, enabling Prime Video to capture, store, and distribute live sports feeds across multiple continents with ultra-low latency.
The system supports simultaneous broadcasts from the new NBA on Prime studio in Los Angeles, mobile production units on both U.S. coasts, and control rooms in London that deliver NBA coverage to more than 220 countries in 12 languages.
John Ward, Prime Video’s Head of Global Tech Ops, called it “by far the biggest build” of his career — a fully distributed, real-time production network designed for scalability, speed, and resilience.
With Veeam v13, organizations can now run Veeam’s Linux-based backup appliances directly on TrueNAS, reducing network overhead, shrinking backup windows, and accelerating restores. This unified approach simplifies backup infrastructure while enabling immutable, hardened repositories for stronger cyber-resilience.
The TrueNAS team attended SC25, the world’s largest supercomputing conference, and it was energizing to hear how TrueNAS is being talked about by buyers, press, and analysts.
We also heard from leaders who are feeling real pressure to reduce lock-in and avoid expensive renewals, which makes the new capabilities in the latest TrueNAS release even more exciting for them.Interest was particularly strong around high-bandwidth designs, including 400-gigabit systems for scaling AI and HPC environments.
Together, these signals reflect a broader shift in how enterprise teams are approaching long-term storage strategy.
How SUU Runs One of Utah’s Fastest Websites on TrueNAS
Southern Utah University runs one of Utah’s fastest websites and nearly all its production workloads on TrueNAS. With a small IT, Director of IT Operations Josh Foremaster needed storage that delivered enterprise performance without vendor lock-in or forced refreshes.
After testing TrueNAS on aging hardware and seeing it “just work,” SUU adopted TrueNAS Enterprise F60 systems to support 25 ESXi nodes and more than 240 virtual servers. Restores that once crawled are now instant, performance complaints have disappeared, and support experiences have been seamless. “TrueNAS is absolutely rock solid,” Josh says. “If anyone wants to call me directly, I will tell them myself, it works.”
Stylite + TrueNAS: A Partnership Built on Reliability and Open Enterprise Values
Stylite AG has been a trusted IT provider in Germany for more than 25 years, supporting enterprises across industries with open-source-based infrastructure, communication, and storage solutions. The company’s philosophy of transparency, reliability, and data sovereignty aligns naturally with TrueNAS’s open enterprise architecture.
Stylite runs its entire internal infrastructure on TrueNAS Enterprise systems, a decision driven by reliability and trust.
“We decided to switch our whole infrastructure to TrueNAS Enterprise systems, and I think that was a very, very good idea. For four or five years we had no incidents. Our data center is running with zero Storage downtime.” – Wim Bonis, CTO Stylite
Together, Stylite and TrueNAS are delivering open, predictable, and trustworthy enterprise storage to European organizations that demand control over their data.
