iXsystems is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 2002, the company employs approximately 210 individuals. It reported $50.0M in revenue as of 2024 and functions as a tier 2 media tech buyer. Its main product is media cloud and storage. The company is behind TrueNAS, an open-source storage software. TrueNAS provides unified and hyperconverged storage for data-intensive workloads in private and cloud datacenters, scaling while leveraging open-source economics.
TrueNAS 26 is gaining traction as a homelab powerhouse, introducing virtualization and container features that position it similarly to Proxmox, a platform popular among users managing home servers and running multiple operating systems and services from a single machine, according to reports on April 25, 2026. This follows the April 20 launch of the TrueNAS V160 enterprise storage platform, which offers high performance without an exclusive all-flash price tag. The V160 allows storage teams to deploy all-flash, hybrid, or mixed configurations, a response to AI-driven demand pushing flash prices up over 300%. Earlier, on April 9, iXsystems released the first beta of TrueNAS 26.02, which features a full embrace of Linux as the underlying operating system, signaling a significant shift from its traditional FreeBSD-based network-attached storage platform. The TrueNAS 26 Beta, initially released on April 7, includes a combination of Linux 6.18 LTS and OpenZFS 2.4 for NAS devices.
iXsystems's customers primarily consist of media managed services, live events and hospitals and Health Care companies. Examples of iXsystems's customers include Children's Minnesota, Hornet and Walt Disney Studios.
