XigmaNAS is a free and open-source program for PC devices that was developed by XigmaNAS. It is a network-attached storage (NAS) server solution that offers users an operating system that they can install on any kind of storage hardware and be able to share data over a computer network.

XigmaNAS is also based on a Linux distribution just like other NAS solutions like openmediavault. It has cross-platform compatibility and it supports all kinds of data and network protocols from any kind of network. It can be used on a portable flash drive, from a PC hard drive, or booted from a LiveCD/LIVEUSB.

What is XigmaNAS?

Network-attached storage, or NAS, solutions are purpose-built data storage server hardware and usually comes packaged with software to control them. These programs don't always perform well, though, and the need for an alternative arises. This is where XigmaNAS, an open-source NAS operating system, comes in to provide another option to users who are looking for a replacement to their existing OS.

XigmaNAS provides a simple and convenient way to create a centralized data server that can be easily accessible by anyone that is connected to the same network. It supports all types of data and files and will work with various kinds of network protocols. What's more, it is cross-platform, thus it will work with multiple devices and operating systems.

XigmaNAS features a web interface that you can access via any browser—this makes configuring and managing your NAS hardware easier and from anywhere. One thing to note, though, is that XigmaNAS, and any NAS hardware, for that matter, will require a fair bit of knowledge and expertise. Thankfully, there are guides and tutorials from the developer to refer to.

A capable and fully-featured NAS OS

All in all, XigmaNAS is a great option if you're looking for a new OS to manage your NAS hardware. It's customizable, has plenty of features, and is free and open-source. There's a bit of a learning curve involved, but there are plenty of resources online to help you learn how to use it properly.
