We are proud to share an important milestone: two DATAZONE experts – Christian Neumaier and Florian Schermer – have earned the TrueNAS Solutions Architect – Gold Level certification. Issued by the manufacturer iXsystems, the credential is valid from July 2026 to July 2027.
DATAZONE is not only an authorized TrueNAS reseller in Germany – we now also hold two manufacturer-certified Solutions Architects at the highest level.
What does “Gold Level” mean?
The TrueNAS Solutions Architect – Gold Level is the highest tier in the TrueNAS certification program. It confirms in-depth, manufacturer-verified knowledge in exactly the areas that matter for enterprise storage:
- TrueNAS architecture across the entire portfolio (Mini, R, H, M, F and V series)
- ZFS design – pool layout, RAID-Z/mirror, cache (L2ARC/SLOG) and data integrity
- Sizing & capacity planning for the real workload instead of marketing figures
- High availability (HA), replication and disaster-recovery concepts
- Migration from existing NAS/SAN systems (e.g. Synology, QNAP, NetApp) to TrueNAS
What it means for customers
Certified expertise means one thing above all for you: predictable, low-risk storage projects. Instead of “should be fine”, you get a manufacturer-validated design – from the right model to the ZFS pool layout to the network and HA architecture. That reduces mis-purchases, performance surprises and costly rework.
This same knowledge is built into our TrueNAS configurator: assemble model, disks and RAID live, calculate usable capacity – and request a quote that a certified Solutions Architect reviews.
