This Migration & Upgrade advisory is issued to inform any customers on any version of SoftNAS® 3, 4, and up to 5.1. A migration or upgrade to SoftNAS® 5.2.4, which is the current version of the software as of the date of this advisory.

SoftNAS® versions 3, 4, and up to 5.1 are no longer supported, effective June 1, 2022 due to underlying technology changes and security vulnerabilities addressed in the most recent versions.

    • Security/Compliance – latest CVE’s addressed
    • Performance – best-in-class performance across multiple Cloud applications vs. other providers
