Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to cloud storage challenges by integrating NextCloud, TrueNAS, and QEMU/KVM. Our research demonstrates how this combination creates a robust, flexible, and economical cloud storage system suitable for various applications. We detail the architecture, highlighting TrueNAS's ZFS-based storage, QEMU/KVM's virtualization, and NextCloud's user interface. Extensive testing showssuperior data integrity and protection compared to traditional solutions. Performance benchmarks reveal high read/write speeds(up to 1.22 GB/s for sequential reads and 620 MB/s for writes) and also efficient small file handling. We demonstrate the solution's scalability under increasing workloads. Security analysis showcases effective jail isolation techniques in TrueNAS. Cost analysis indicates potential 50% reduction in total ownership cost over five years compared to commercial…
