Distribution Release: TrueNAS 24.04.1.1 "SCALE" |
|
TrueNAS is a project which develops network attached storage operating systems. SCALE is the Debian-based branch of the project. TrueNAS SCALE recently received an update which significantly improves input/output performance. "After a successful release and the fastest adoption of software in TrueNAS history, TrueNAS SCALE 24.04 'Dragonfish' has its first update today. The performance being achieved is significantly beyond TrueNAS 13.0 and Cobia. Dragonfish benefits from OpenZFS, Linux, SAMBA improvements, and some TrueNAS optimizations. The performance changes may not be obvious for smaller systems, but larger systems need software performance that scales with core and drive count. Dragonfish has significant improvements in IOPS (virtualization and databases), bandwidth (video and backup), and File Metadata (directory listings). 50% more IOPS: IOPS (Input/Outputs Per Second) is a classic storage metric for transactional workloads like virtual desktops and databases. On the same platform and pool configuration (a TrueNAS M50 with 20 SSDs in 4x 5wZ1) we see 50% higher IOPS with Dragonfish when compared to TrueNAS 13.0." Further details can be found in the project's release announcement and in the release notes. Download: TrueNAS-SCALE-24.04.1.1.iso (1,553MB, SHA256, signature). |
