Frequently Asked Questions
What is Olares, and how does it differ from a NAS?
Olares is a self-hosted sovereign cloud operating system that goes beyond a NAS: you can run AI models, host applications, manage files, and stream media on your own hardware. It is positioned as an alternative to public clouds like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure while offering more flexibility than Synology, CasaOS, Unraid, or TrueNAS. Apps run in a sandboxed ecosystem with multi-node orchestration across your devices.
Can I run AI models locally with Olares?
Yes. Olares has built-in AI capabilities designed for local AI processing, so models and their data stay on your own hardware rather than in a third-party cloud. It combines this with a unified filesystem and database, so applications can share data and context. This is a core part of its pitch as a personal or enterprise cloud you fully control.
How does Olares handle security and multi-device access?
Olares provides enterprise-grade security including single sign-on and fine-grained access control across apps. Its sandboxed app ecosystem keeps workloads isolated from one another, and multi-node orchestration lets services run across multiple devices. Together these give a cloud-like experience without depending on third-party providers.
