There are several reasons to move off the older versions of SoftNAS and on to SoftNAS 5 including:

  • Performance improvements of up to 60% have been benchmarked for certain workflows
  • Azure OMS and OMS Azure Extensions are now supported
  • Improved baseline security
  • Upgrade process improvements that no longer checks and interrupts the process based on SnapReplicate version differences on paired instances
  • Samba updated to version 4.12.10-15
  • Linux version change from CentOS 6.9 to CentOS 8.2 ensures security and other Linux fixes continue to flow normally as expected.
