With this release, BeeGFS brings full IPv6 support, enhanced access control list (ACL) performance, and an enterprise-grade background data rebalancing feature, aimed at enabling next-generation AI and HPC storage infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p>Key Highlights of BeeGFS 8.2<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full IPv6 support: BeeGFS 8.2 now supports IPv6 across all components. By default, when both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are available, IPv4 remains preferred to ensure continuity of existing deployments.<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced ACL performance with newly introduced client-side ACL caching enabled by a new sysACLsRevalidate option.<\/li>\n<li>Background data rebalancing: BeeGFS 8.2 supports migrating file contents between storage targets in the background, coordinated by metadata services, without the need to rewrite entire files. This is a strong improvement for large clusters and expanding storage pools.<\/li>\n<li>SELinux integration: Persistent per-file and per-directory SELinux security contexts (labels) are now supported, with proper propagation and caching to enhance system security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As unified storage systems for enterprise, AI, and HPC environments evolve, support for modern networking standards and efficient data movement are essential. With full IPv6 support, BeeGFS 8.2 enables organizations to deploy storage infrastructures in dual-stack or IPv6-only networks, future-proofing their infrastructure. The addition of background rebalancing helps large-scale systems maintain performance and flexibility as storage targets are added, repurposed, or shifted. And with improved ACL handling and SELinux integration, administrative overhead is reduced while security and manageability are enhanced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeeGFS 8.2 represents a major step forward for enterprises and HPC practitioners,\u201d said Philipp Falk, VP Engineering, ThinkParQ. \u201cWith IPv6 now fully supported and enterprise-grade features like background rebalancing and support for SELinux contexts built in, our customers can build secure next-generation storage clusters that scale and perform, all while preparing for the future networking landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:18px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Work Sans&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;margin:0;font-size:1em;--fontSize:18;--minFontSize:18;line-height:1.5;\"><strong>About ThinkParQ GmbH<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-font-size:18px;--awb-text-color:#000000;--awb-text-font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">ThinkParQ GmbH strives to create and develop the fastest, most flexible, and most stable solutions for every performance-oriented environment.
