BeeGFS and ClusterVisor Bring Simplified Cluster Management to SC26

As high-performance computing (HPC) environments grow in complexity, organizations need infrastructure management tools that simplify operations across compute, storage, and the systems that connect them. At SC26, ThinkParQ and Advanced Clustering Technologies will demonstrate how their complementary technologies help organizations streamline cluster deployment and day-to-day management, bringing BeeGFS storage into the same management workflow used to operate the broader cluster.

Attendees are invited to register for a live demonstration at Advanced Clustering Technologies’ booth 4523 to see how ClusterVisor, the company’s cluster management solution, can be used to set up, monitor, and manage ThinkParQ’s parallel file storage solution, BeeGFS, alongside the rest of their cluster infrastructure.

“Our long-term partnership with Advanced Clustering Technologies is built on a simple goal: give customers a storage solution that is powerful and easy to operate,” said Frank Herold, CEO at ThinkParQ. “BeeGFS brings the performance and scalability that demanding workloads require, and ClusterVisor brings the management simplicity that administrators need. Together, they give end users one coherent, production-ready environment, from first deployment through the whole cluster lifecycle. We are proud to show this combined solution at SC26 and to keep investing in this partnership.”

BeeGFS delivers high-performance parallel file system capabilities for demanding technical computing workloads. ClusterVisor provides a unified approach to cluster provisioning and management. Together, the technologies offer organizations a practical way to integrate storage management into their broader cluster operations, helping reduce the need to manage infrastructure through disconnected tools and workflows.

“ClusterVisor is designed to simplify the way organizations deploy and manage their HPC infrastructure,” said Kyle Sheumaker, President and Chief Technical Officer at Advanced Clustering. “By bringing BeeGFS into the same management environment used to run the rest of the cluster, we help administrators take a more unified approach to setting up, monitoring, and managing their systems. Our collaboration with BeeGFS gives customers a practical way to streamline operations, reduce management complexity, and get more out of their cluster infrastructure.”  

One Tool for the Broader Cluster

Managing an HPC environment involves more than deploying compute nodes or configuring storage independently. Administrators must ensure that the different components of their infrastructure work together and remain manageable throughout the cluster lifecycle.

With BeeGFS and ClusterVisor, attendees can explore how a common management approach can help simplify key operational tasks, including:

• Set up BeeGFS: See how BeeGFS can be incorporated into the cluster setup and deployment workflow.
• Monitor storage and cluster operations: Explore how administrators can monitor BeeGFS as part of their broader cluster environment.
• Manage the complete infrastructure: See how the same management tool used for the rest of the cluster can also support BeeGFS operations.

The result is a more cohesive approach to cluster management, giving administrators a way to work across compute and storage without treating BeeGFS as an entirely separate operational environment.

SC26 attendees can experience the complementary capabilities of BeeGFS and ClusterVisor firsthand at Advanced Clustering Technologies’ booth 4523. Live demonstrations will show how organizations can bring BeeGFS into their existing cluster management workflows and explore the benefits of managing storage and compute infrastructure through a common tool.

About BeeGFS

BeeGFS is a high-performance parallel file system designed to meet the demanding storage requirements of high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and other data-intensive workloads. By providing scalable, high-throughput access to shared data across multiple servers, BeeGFS helps organizations make the most of their compute resources. Its flexible architecture supports a wide range of environments, from research and academic computing to enterprise and large-scale AI infrastructure.

About ClusterVisor

The ClusterVisor appliance holds your cluster’s configuration, operating system images and history. A lightweight agent on every node reports health and applies changes, and Slurm, user accounts, logs and hardware management all plug into the same platform, whether we built your cluster or another vendor did.

About Advanced Clustering Technologies

Advanced Clustering Technologies helps organizations deploy, manage and support high-performance computing and AI infrastructure. Our company was founded in Kansas City in 2001 with a specific mission: helping organizations get HPC right. That focus shapes everything we do, from how we design a system to how long we support it.
