BeeGFS 8 is Now Available

ThinkParQ has just announced that BeeGFS 8 has just been released. This latest version of the BeeGFS parallel filesystem introduces new data management capabilities, simplifies file system management and third-party software integration, and sets the stage for future enhancements.

BeeGFS 8 was built with three goals in mind:

• Expand data management capabilities.
• Modernize the file system and lay the foundation for future enhancements.
• Simplify system administration and third-party integration.

In the inaugural 8.0 release, we started by revamping our file system modification events, including adding new event types, fields, and exposing the event stream over gRPC, with the flexibility to add new protocols in the future. Throughout the 8 release series we will continue to expand this API and provide richer integration with existing HSM software.

BeeGFS 8 introduces major new capabilities while establishing the design philosophy that will guide the rest of the 8.x series. This release expands BeeGFS’s reach without bloating the core, modernizes critical components without compromising stability, and makes the world’s easiest parallel file system even easier to use.

Advanced Clustering is a Platinum Partner in the United States offering the BeeGFS parallel filesystem in our turn-key HPC solutions. This solution is ideal for I/O intensive workloads because it allows you to spread user data over multiple servers.

Why BeeGFS?
As your cluster grows,  file systems can become a limiting factor. The expense of expansion can become comparable to the cost of the computing cluster itself. Therefore, we are offering BeeGFS as a cost-effective solution.

With BeeGFS, you can scale performance and capacity of the file system to the level you need by increasing the number of servers and disks in your system.

Experience the power of clustered storage:

• distribute data across any number of storage servers
• get high streaming throughput and high IOPs
• gain parallel data access from all compute nodes
