Integrate the OS You Need
From NAS Appliances to Scale-Out Systems
We support leading NAS and scale-out storage OS options and provide full integration
services for customized environments.
Two Integration Approaches
We differentiate between operating systems we can install directly on hardware versus those requiring additional
hardware layers for optimal performance.
Direct Installation
OSs we can install directly on validated hardware
• TrueNAS
• Ubuntu
• Red Hat / CentOS
• Proxmox + ZFS
• Open source NAS platforms
Hardware Layer Integration
Platform requiring additional hardware abstraction
• Synology
• QNAP
• VMware
• Proprietary appliance OS
• Vendor-locked platforms
Supported Operating Systems
We provide full support for operating systems we install and manage directly on validated
hardware — no extra layers or proprietary appliances needed.
