News Summary:
TrueNAS released a native Proxmox VE storage plugin on September 17, 2026, allowing Proxmox to provision and manage VM disks directly on TrueNAS systems. This plugin automatically converts Proxmox disk requests into OpenZFS zvols on TrueNAS 25.10 or later, publishing them as iSCSI LUNs or NVMe/TCP namespaces, and handles creation, snapshots, resizing, migration, and deletion from the Proxmox side without requiring TrueNAS UI setup. Previously, on September 6, 2026, a TrueNAS fork named FreeCORE emerged, aimed at maintaining deeply integrated virtualization jails and OpenZFS on FreeBSD. This development followed iXsystems' shift in engineering focus entirely to TrueNAS SCALE, its Debian Linux-based environment, which deprecated the FreeBSD-based TrueNAS CORE for legacy operators. Earlier, on September 4, 2026, TrueNAS unbundled its enterprise storage offering from its hardware, signaling a departure from the traditional model of bundling software with appliance purchases for data management. In August, TrueNAS appointed Jason Wakeam as Chief Revenue Officer on August 7, 2026, with the goal of accelerating global revenue growth and enterprise scale for its storage platform.
