XigmaNAS (formerly NAS4Free ) is a FreeBSD- based free NAS operating system. Originally developed under the name FreeNAS , then renamed in 2011 after the name FreeNAS was legally taken over by iXsystems, Inc. After the code base was largely rewritten by iXsystems, Inc. with Version 8 of FreeNAS, the two NAS systems differ accordingly. Even so, iXsystems, Inc. continues to use the FreeNAS name for their code base. The original FreeNAS code was then further developed under "NAS4Free". In 2018 "NAS4Free" was then renamed "XigmaNAS". The native support of ZFS (with regard to data integrity / snapshots / data carrier handling) is to be emphasized here, which the Linux-based NAS systems are currently lacking in this mature form. "XigmaNAS" (and thus "NAS4Free") has already been presented several times in specialist journals as a stable alternative to commercial NAS products as a powerful alternative.
