TrueNAS Storage Solutions for Australian Business
Onsite NAS storage that protects your data, keeps it under your control, and scales from a home office to a 20-petabyte data centre — supplied, configured and supported locally?

What is TrueNAS Storage?
TrueNAS is an open-source Network Attached Storage platform built on the ZFS file system. It provides businesses a centralised, protected, high-performance storage system - accessible from any device, over any protocol.
Key Capabilities
- File sharing via SMB, NFS, AFP and iSCSI
- Ransomware protection with immutable ZFS snapshots
- Block storage for VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox
- S3-compatible object storage
- Off-site replication to AWS, Azure or Backblaze
- Browser-based management from any device

Velocity Host supplies and configures the complete TrueNAS hardware family.
But supply is only half the story. True to our KISS principles, every system we provide is sourced, tested and setup by our local team before it reaches your business, ensuring that what you receive works like it should out of the box.

Built on ZFS — Enterprise Data Protection, Standard
Every TrueNAS system runs ZFS, engineered to eliminate data loss.
These protections are active by default — not optional add-ons.
RAIDZ Redundancy
Protects against 1–3 simultaneous drive failures. No data loss when a drive dies.
Atomic Snapshots
Point-in-time recovery from ransomware or accidental deletion — near-instant, minimal storage overhead.
Block-Level Replication
Sends only changed blocks to a remote site or cloud. Fast, bandwidth-efficient off-site backup.
Automatic Corruption Repair
Every block is checksummed. Bit-rot is detected and repaired before applications ever see an error.
Tiered Caching
NVMe SSDs as read/write cache dramatically improve performance for frequently accessed data.
Hardware Encryption
AES encryption at dataset or pool level on Enterprise models. Secure at rest, no performance penalty.
