SC24: ThinkParQ to Unveil BeeGFS 8

ThinkParQ GmbH, the company behind the  parallel file system BeeGFS, is thrilled to unveil BeeGFS 8, offering advanced capabilities aimed at enhancing performance, flexibility, and data management designed to meet the evolving needs of modern enterprises, HPC and AI environments.

The product introduces significant updates in its enterprise offering, including:

• Remote Storage Targets (RSTS): A new feature enabling seamless synchronization between BeeGFS and S3 object storage, whether on-premises or in the cloud. RSTs mark a major milestone in BeeGFS’s integration with remote storage systems, offering users greater flexibility in managing data across diverse storage environments
• BeeGFS Hive Watch: A dynamic event listener API that supercharges BeeGFS indexing without sacrificing metadata performance.
• BeeGFS Hive Copy: A new parallel data-moving tool in the BeeGFS ecosystem, designed for both BeeGFS and other locally mounted file systems.

Combining these tools allows customers to create a flexible workflow, enabling balanced storage and access strategies across performance and cost tiers. This enhanced flexibility integrates seamlessly with job schedulers and other established market tools, empowering users to optimize their data management pipelines.

“We are excited to unveil BeeGFS 8 at SC24, a major leap forward in our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for our customers. With powerful new features like Remote Storage Targets, BeeGFS Hive Watch, and Hive Copy, we are empowering organizations to optimise their data management strategies and enhance their HPC and AI capabilities. This release reflects our dedication to innovation and our understanding of the evolving needs of modern data environments,” says Frank Herold, CEO, ThinkParQ.

With the initial GA in early 2025, ThinkParQ will be previewing BeeGFS 8 at SC24, Atlanta, GA on booth #3115.
