Case Study: The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation achieves scalable, secure digital archives with iXsystems TrueNAS

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation - Customer Case Study

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation required a highly scalable and secure storage solution to preserve and provide access to over 4.5 PB of digitized historical archives, including documents, photos, and thousands of hours of audio/video. The challenge was to migrate from a 200 TB legacy system while protecting data integrity and allowing public internet access without compromising security. They selected the TrueNAS unified storage appliance from vendor iXsystems to meet these needs.

iXsystems implemented a high-availability TrueNAS M50-HA system, which provided the massive scalability and robust data protection required. The solution enabled the library to seamlessly migrate all data with zero downtime during expansion and to allow multiple users to input and stream content simultaneously. As a result, the JFK Library Foundation successfully preserved its priceless collection for future generations with the confidence of 24x7 support from iXsystems.
