Summary: Ubiquiti announced its Enterprise NAS (ENAS) on 2026-06-18: a ZFS-based appliance with 8 Arm Neoverse N2 cores, 64GB ECC memory, 16 drive bays expandable past one petabyte raw, dual NVMe cache, and dual 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports with redundant power. It targets file storage, iSCSI for virtualization, and identity-driven sharing; cross-site backup orchestration is listed as coming soon.
Comments: HN commenters highlight the absence of a recurring subscription as the main draw and ask about Time Machine and network-backup integration, with interest in replacing DIY NAS builds.
Why it matters: A ZFS appliance integrated into an existing Ubiquiti network is a lower-cost on-prem storage option versus subscription-based competitors.
