iXsystems’ TrueNAS systems deliver flexible open storage, scaling from small home servers to 20PB+ storage platforms. TrueCommand offers simple management with docker and cloud deployment options. Nextcloud Hub is available as a supported app on the TrueNAS platform and can be easily deployed on new installations. TrueNAS systems will offer the full Nextcloud Hub experience with Files, Groupware, Talk, and Collabora Online based office document editing. TrueNAS users will gain immediate access to easy, efficient document storage, sharing and real-time collaboration and communication, expandable with >200 integrated Nextcloud apps.
Unlike traditional cloud productivity platforms from Google and Microsoft, all data is maintained within the user’s private infrastructure and is not accessible to anyone else. In addition, both Nextcloud and TrueNAS provide an extensive layer of security and compliance capabilities. Storage capacity can be scaled without any per-user restrictions or additional license fees.
Enterprise storage needs continue to explode, only overtaken by the growth of compliance and privacy challenges. iXsystems and Nextcloud are uniquely capable of delivering a platform that tackles these two challenges at once.

Das rasante Wachstum von KI und anderen rechenintensiven Technologien hat zu einem deutlichen Anstieg des Energieverbrauchs in Rechenzentren geführt. Anstatt in nachhaltigere Lösungen zu investieren, reagieren viele große Tech-Konzerne mit dem Rückzug aus ihren Klimazielen – und greifen wieder auf Kohle- oder Atomstrom zurück. Als Gegenmodell hat Nextcloud gemeinsam mit dem Umweltzeichen Blauer Engel daran gearbeitet, als erste Cloud-Software eine Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung zu erhalten. Das Projekt zeigt, dass umweltfreundlichere IT möglich ist – und soll eine Vorlage für andere schaffen.
