IceWhale Launches ZimaOS 1.5: Simplified, Focused, and Open NAS Operating System for Homes, SMBs, and Tech Enthusiasts
Tuesday, October 7, 2025
SHANGHAI, Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IceWhale Technology, the team behind CasaOS and Zima hardware (ZimaBoard, ZimaBlade, ZimaCube), today announced ZimaOS 1.5, the latest version of its NAS operating system. Built on the principles of Simplified, Focused, and Open, ZimaOS 1.5 provides an intuitive, efficient, and flexible data management platform for households, small-to-medium businesses, and tech enthusiasts worldwide.
Developed with feedback from nearly 43,000 community members, ZimaOS 1.5 addresses the complexity of traditional NAS systems by unifying scattered drives, accounts, and interfaces under one consistent design language. Launched as a beta in late 2023, it has already surpassed 1M downloads, reflecting strong global interest in simplified and effective NAS solutions.
Key Features:
-- Simplified - Intuitive Storage Management: Setting up RAID is as easy as
inserting drives and clicking through a few steps, yet users can still
access detailed configurations. The optimized file manager significantly
improves transfer speeds, previews, and document/video handling. ZimaOS
integrates all storage -- local drives, LAN shares, and cloud services
like Google Drive or Dropbox -- and supports automated migration between
services, eliminating manual operations.
-- Focused - Data Management at the Core: ZimaOS unifies data scattered
across devices and clouds without unnecessary complexity. The Zima
Client mobile app (iOS & Android) enables secure, point-to-point access
from any device, ensuring seamless remote management across Windows,
macOS, Android, and iOS.
-- Open - Choice and Community-Driven Innovation: ZimaOS supports all
x86-64 hardware, from custom servers to Zima devices or mini PCs, and
includes GPU/iSCSI card support through ongoing driver updates.
Following CasaOS's open-source philosophy, each version is iteratively
improved with community feedback collected via Discord, forums, and
YouTube/X/FaceBook. The community-built App Center hosts 800+ Dockerized
applications -- media servers, game servers, smart home tools, network
utilities, and private knowledge bases -- and continues to grow.
Private & Secure by Design
At its core, NAS is a private, secure digital space. ZimaOS ensures account sovereignty, generating identity entirely locally without requiring email or phone numbers, allowing fully offline operation. From version 0.1, ZimaOS stands against tracking and analysis. It seamlessly integrates into daily life, personal memories, creative projects, and smart home setups -- protecting your data and privacy at every step.
In today's AI- and data-driven world, ZimaOS 1.5 offers a completely different approach from the cloud computing giants: your device, your rights. It empowers personal NAS users to manage their data efficiently and securely, transforming the NAS into a new hub for collaboration, creativity, and exploration.
