FreeNAS Software Based on ZFS on EUROstor Servers

FreeNAS is a free open source software and offers block and file services based on the self-healing ZFS file system with simple management via a GUI, so that no in-depth Linux knowledge is required.

EUROstor GmbH has released a server series especially adapted for this software, covering all sizes from small 4 disk mini-towers to large rackmount servers with 36×3.5-inch HDDs or 72×2.5-inch disks/SSDs.

The ES-2200 systems are equipped with either Intel or AMD processors and can be customized with a variety of options to meet individual needs. Like all firm’s servers they can be managed remotely.

“Many of our customers have recently asked specifically for servers on which they can install FreeNAS. With the new server series, we meet this increasing demand“, says Franz Bochtler, president. “With the new ES-2200 series we now have pre-configured solutions that meet the basic requirements for this field of application but can then be adapted to the customer’s specific needs with additional network cards, larger RAM etc.“.

The systems are offered with up to 5-year warranty and optional replacement service or on-site service.

The company offers this solution in server enclosures, each containing 4 nodes. Two of these systems (a total of 8 nodes) are minimally required for a cluster.
