Server by PCS, perhaps an OS worth investigating

[ChrAyl]

Hello,

I was curious about PCS Servers so viewed their offerings, and saw the OS used was Microsoft.

It's only a thought but perhaps one member of staff should look into the TrueNAS OS? I only mention this because I've been testing it since Feb of this year, on various hardware and have now installed it on the final production server (re-used workstation) with great confidence.

Please be assured that I'm not suggesting it's any better than Microsoft's solution, but so far it's impressed me when it comes to reliability, redundancy and speed.

Thanks,

Chris

P.S. Looks like I'll be getting a Ryzen 9 system from PCS once the peculiar supply issues have subsided.

TrueNAS isn’t an OS as such, it’s a NAS solution. It’s certainly no replacement for windows or a Linux distro in any way.

And PCS are Microsoft partners.......
