We’re excited to announce that the BeeGFS User Group (BUG) is coming to Hamburg on June 23rd, alongside ISC High Performance 2026. BUG brings together the global BeeGFS community, including HPC professionals, partners, customers, and storage experts. Attendees will gain valuable insights from ThinkParQ experts and real-world BeeGFS users, sharing best practices, performance strategies, and success stories.

Our BeeGFS team will present an exclusive look at the BeeGFS roadmap, highlighting the latest innovations in parallel file systems, monitoring tools, and upcoming product and service enhancements.

  • 8:00 AM Registration and Breakfast

What’s new in the world of BeeGFS, including company update, new EULA, Licensing model updates (enterprise, community, trial)

A quick recap of the key features and changes introduced in BeeGFS 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 before we dive in further.

NVMe costs got you down? Not sure what’s filling up your file system? This session consolidates everything you need to know about data lifecycle management in BeeGFS. Compute boldly, we’ll handle the data.

Learn how the BeeGFS Data Management API has evolved to provide intelligent control to third-party data management applications with new hooks to transparently restore offloaded file contents.

Because files in BeeGFS can now be anywhere.

APIs are only as powerful as the ecosystems built around them. In this session, we’ll showcase how the file data states feature took shape thanks to co-design with our partners, and how BeeGFS partners leverage the Data Management API to build bespoke solutions.

From AWS Glacier to your on-premises tape archive, we’ve rethought how to optimize reading and writing files to long-term archival storage.

  • 10:20AM Coffee Break

Long-standing timeout-based caching mechanisms have a fundamental disadvantage: metadata must be refreshed on a fixed schedule even when it’s still valid. Enter all-new BeeGFS persistent metadata caching — write-once read-many workloads can now benefit from long-lived metadata caching with server-driven invalidation, optimizing even the most metadata-intensive workloads. Join us for an early look and live demo, and share your feedback ahead of the full feature release.

We’ll be taking questions as we go, so feel free to chime in and make this session interactive!

Join us to stay updated on the roadmap and outlook for BeeGFS 8.5 and beyond. From ideas fresh in the oven to ones almost ready to serve. Order up!
