History
In October 2005, Olivier Cochard-Labbé started the FreeNas project. He based it on the
FreeNAS 10 ALPHA was released, providing a preview of what would become FreeNAS Corral GA on March 15, 2017.[16] FreeNAS Corral introduced a new graphical user interface, command-line interface, underlying middleware, container management system and virtual machine management system.[17] FreeNAS Corral departs from FreeNAS by providing not only NAS functionality but also hyper-converged functionality thanks to its integrated virtual machine support. However, on April 12, 2017 iXsystems announced that FreeNAS Corral would instead be relegated to being a 'Technology Preview', citing issues such as "general instability, lack of feature parity with 9.10 (Jails, iSCSI, etc), and some users experiencing lower performance than expected" and the departure of the project lead. Instead, the decision was made to revert to the existing 9.10 code and bring Corral features to 9.10.3 and further.[citation needed]
In March 2020, iXsystems announced that the 12.0 release will merge the FreeNAS code base with that of their commercial TrueNAS offering. FreeNAS will become TrueNAS CORE while TrueNAS will be renamed TrueNAS Enterprise.[18] This change was made official with the release of TrueNAS 12.0 on October 20, 2020.[citation needed]
In October 2020, iXsystems announced a new product, TrueNAS SCALE would be developed. TrueNAS SCALE would still utilize ZFS, but be based on Debian Linux.[citation needed]
In February 2022, iX announced that TrueNAS SCALE has reached General Availability quality for their 22.02 release.[citation needed]
In May 2022, iX announced that TrueNAS CORE, their FreeBSD-based version of TrueNAS, has reached General Availability and is suitable for large deployments.[citation needed]

10.0 ("Corral") | 2017-03-15 | N/A | Withdrawn: relegated to preview only | The "Corral" branch was cancelled on or around 23 April 2017, the developers citing as reasons that although it had been a major "ground up" rewrite of FreeNAS, too many issues had emerged within 2 weeks of release. Development reverted to the proven 9.10 branch of FreeNAS and the Corral branch was relegated to a "technology preview".[20][21] | ||
