Open-source NAS servers with full Linux, ZFS, TrueNAS, and no vendor licensing fees - on-premise storage that pays for itself in months versus cloud subscription costs

FREMONT, Calif. - Californer -- eRacks Open Source Systems today announced an expanded lineup of rackmount NAS servers spanning 11 models, from the 4-bay eRcks/NAS4 at $1,995 to the 102-bay eRacks/NAS100 at $29,995, covering departmental file servers through petabyte-scale enterprise storage in a single product family.

The expanded lineup addresses the accelerating economics of on-premise storage against cloud alternatives. Storing 100 terabytes on Amazon S3 costs approximately $27,600 per year in recurring fees. A comparable eRacks NAS24 system - 24 bays, over 700TB usable capacity - carries a one-time purchase price of $8,995, paying for itself in under four months with no recurring storage or egress costs.

"Data egress fees alone are enough to make the NAS math work," said Joseph Wolff, founder of eRacks Open Source Systems. "A 100-terabyte pull from AWS costs $9,000 in egress. Our customers pay that once for the hardware and own it forever. The cloud is not always the answer."

More on The Californer

Hardware features across the lineup include ECC RAM as standard, redundant power supply options on models NAS12 and above, and hot-swap drive bays throughout. Larger models support NVMe SSD caching for accelerated read performance and 25GbE high-speed networking for demanding workloads including AI training data, video production pipelines, and large-scale backup and disaster recovery.

The lineup scales without chassis replacement. A NAS36 shipping with 12 drives today is fully expandable to 36 drives as storage needs grow. Models range from 1U desktop-adjacent deployments to 9U high-density rack systems.

eRacks Open Source Systems has designed, built, and shipped custom Linux servers since 1999. Systems are configured to order and tested before shipping. Direct technical support is provided by engineers familiar with the hardware.
