Back18 June 2026View Count: 1.4K minEnterprise storage has traditionally required costly licensing, proprietary hardware, and complex management. ENAS changes that by delivering a private, local storage platform designed for performance, scalability, and simplicity, all without the overhead typically associated with enterprise infrastructure. Enterprise-Class Performance from the Ground Up The all-new ENAS combines powerful hardware with modern storage technologies to provide the performance and reliability organizations expect from enterprise solutions. ENAS combines proven ZFS architecture, with optional M.2 NVMe L2ARC caching, and a powerful ARM Neoverse N2 platform to make our highest performance storage solution to date. 8 Arm Neoverse N2 cores for demanding workloads 64GB ECC memory for enhanced data integrity Dual NVMe cache for accelerated performance Native ZFS for advanced storage protection Enterprise-grade performance engineered for modern business workloads.Massive Scale with Complete Flexibility ENAS is built to grow alongside your business. With extensive storage expansion capabilities and no firmware restrictions on drive models, organizations can scale capacity without being restricted by proprietary hardware ecosystems. 16 drive bays for high-capacity deployments Expandable to more than one petabyte of raw storage Open-drive compatibility for maximum flexibility Dual 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports and redundant power supplies for resilience Scale storage on your terms without vendor lock-in.License-Free Management with UniFi The hardware is only part of the story. ENAS integrates directly with the UniFi platform, creating a centralized source of truth for files, backups, and shared organizational data, all without recurring software licensing costs. No licensing fees or feature unlocks Centralized file and backup management Unified data visibility across teams Simplified administration through UniFi Powerful storage management without recurring software costs.Secure Access for Every Employee Modern organizations need secure and seamless access to business data. ENAS integrates with existing identity providers and enables role-based access controls that simplify user management while maintaining security. Integration with existing identity providers Role-based folder permissions Native secure access through UniFi Endpoint on desktop and mobile platforms Consistent access across any device Secure collaboration starts with identity-driven access control.Centralized Backup Orchestration Across Sites - Coming Soon Managing backups across multiple locations becomes significantly easier with UniFi Fabrics and Site manager. Organizations gain centralized oversight and control while ensuring critical data remains protected. With just a few clicks, your ENAS can begin backing up data to an offsite ENAS, rsync server, or even a cloud destination. It can also backup user data from Microsoft 365 applications into an employee's user drive. Unified backup management across all sites Centralized orchestration from a single platform Integrated snapshot capabilities Improved disaster recovery readiness One platform for protecting data across every location.Shared Storage for Modern Virtualization ENAS extends beyond traditional file storage with native iSCSI support in UniFi Drive, enabling shared block storage for virtualization environments and high-availability infrastructure. Native iSCSI shared block storage Centralized storage for multiple compute servers Support for live migration workflows Compatible with Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V clusters Shared block storage built for virtualization and high availability.ENAS brings together enterprise-class performance, massive scalability, centralized management, secure access controls, multi-site backup orchestration, and virtualization-ready storage in a single license-free platform. By eliminating proprietary limitations and recurring software costs, ENAS delivers a simpler, easily scalable, and more cost-effective path to modern enterprise storage.

Launch HN: TesterArmy (YC P26) – Agents that test web and mobile apps

Hey HN - we’re Oskar, Szymon, and Piotr, and we’re building TesterArmy ( ). TesterArmy is an agentic testing platform that runs end-to-end checks before deployment and in production. Instead of wasting hours on manual testing or maintaining static scripts, we let you specify your tests in natural language and handle everything in between. We've built the platform fully around agents. Our agent will reliably execute the tests, but your coding agent can manage everything in our platform, from defining tests in natural language to running them on your behalf. Check out our demo video: . We started TesterArmy because testing is still far too painful. AI coding tools have made it dramatically faster to write and ship code, but testing is still a bottleneck. Traditional E2E tests are slow to set up and expensive to maintain. Managing auth and test users is painful. Setting up staging environments is painful. Running tests reliably is painful. We think most teams do not actually want to spend their time writing selectors or maintaining test infrastructure. They just want confidence that their core flows work. With TesterArmy, an engineer can sign up, give an agent our CLI, and let it handle creating tests and running them on schedule or on GitHub. When something breaks, TesterArmy alerts your team through Slack or Discord. Over the past few months, we scaled from 0 to 30+ teams using our product every day. We caught bugs in critical flows, including onboarding, checkout, and AI chat. We've got many of our customers migrating from already established competitors to us because of the quality and reliability of our agents. Here are a few of the recent bugs that our agent found (there were quite a lot of them!): 1) Timezone bug that affected the booking flow in one of our clients' apps, the dashboard was very complex and hard to catch by a human. 2) Regression in agent orchestration that caused a sandboxed environment to be stuck on loading, thanks to TesterArmy, the team was able to resolve it before it hit production. 3) Incorrectly counting the order amount in a complex dashboard flow with checkout, thanks to TesterArmy, the team was able to resolve it before it affected revenue 4) Catching a regression in an AI chat flow that would result in a user not being able to retrieve their data due to broken tool calling. And many more, mostly related to some incorrect API calls, 404s, unhandled errors, etc. If this sounds useful, we would love your feedback at . We have a bunch of free test runs for you to try. And don’t worry, we won’t make you do sales calls, and we don’t have long onboarding or annoying setup. Our goal is an it-just-works experience. If you're looking for an end-to-end testing solution, we'd love to hear your feedback! Comments URL: Points: 6 # Comments: 0
