Overview

Unraid is described on its official site as a powerful, easy-to-use operating system for self-hosted servers and network-attached storage, letting users mix and match hard drives of any size. It started in 2005 as founder Tom's personal quest to improve digital media storage, and is developed by Lime Technology, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, California. The official site states users are in 150+ countries and that the company has been in business 20 years.

History

Unraid started in 2005 as a personal quest by founder Tom to improve digital media storage; he wanted a reliable way to store and back up his sizable DVD collection, which exceeded what could fit on a single external hard drive. His solution was Unraid OS, software that links multiple storage devices together even if they differ in size, type, or brand. In 2019, Tom's daughter Tiffany joined as Co-CEO. The official site states the company has been in business 20 years and that Unraid OS is developed by Lime Technology, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, California.

Products and positioning

The most flexible, easy-to-use NAS OS, built for self-hosting with Docker applications and virtual machines.
