BeeGFS is widely seen as an easy-deployable alternative to other parallel filesystems and is deployed at thousands of sites around the globe, providing fast access to storage systems of all kinds and sizes in all performance-oriented environments including and not limited to HPC, AI and Deep Learning, Lifesciences and Oil and Gas.

The BeeGFS user space architecture is “state-of-the-art” allowing users to manage any IO profile requirements without performance restrictions and provides the scalability & flexibility that is required to run the most demanding HPC, AI, or business-critical applications.

BeeGFS offers enterprise features for seamless cloud storage integration, efficient data movement, system-wide monitoring, high availability, and indexing. These capabilities ensure scalability, reliability, and deep insights into data management. A commercial license and support contract is available for organizations looking for expert guidance and ongoing reliability.

BeeGFS allows customers to invest in scalable HPC and AI infrastructures, that deliver from small sites to large scale-out environments, relieving the full bandwidths of their hardware components. BeeGFS increases productivity by delivering faster results, enabling new data analysis methods without changing workflows or applications.

BeeGFS works with lightly weighted, high performant service daemon(s) in the user space over the arbitrated filesystem, such as ext4, xfs, zfs. This enables users to maximize bandwidth, harness the full performance of their hardware, and achieve network wire-speed access for applications. The native BeeGFS client and server components are available for Linux on x86_64, AMD, ARM & OpenPower, or any other CPU architectures.

The unique user space architecture concept of BeeGFS allows users to keep the metadata access latency (e.g., directory lookups) at a minimum and distributes the metadata across multiple servers so that each of the metadata servers stores a part of the global file system namespace.

By increasing the number of servers and disks in the system, it is possible to scale performance and capacity of the filesystem to the level that you need, seamlessly from small clusters up to enterprise-class systems with thousands of nodes.

BeeGFS transparently spreads user data across multiple servers. By increasing the number of servers and disks in the system, you can simply scale performance and capacity of the file system to the level that you need, seamlessly from small clusters up to enterprise-class systems with thousands of nodes.
