BeeGFS Parallel Storage

Exxact BeeGFS Parallel Storage Solutions

Designed as a massively parallel software-defined storage solution for performance-critical workloads. Exxact BeeGFS Parallel Storage Solutions offer scalability and ease of use.

EXTREME SCALABILITY

BeeGFS simplifies parallel file storage and scales linearly through dynamic metadata namespace partitioning.

MASSIVE STORAGE THROUGHPUT

Exxact BeeGFS servers allow flexible choice of underlying file system to perfectly fit the given storage hardware.

OPEN & COST EFFECTIVE

BeeGFS software is part of the open source ecosystem, and able to work with any industry standard hardware for maximum flexibility.

ROBUST FAILOVER

Exxact's BeeGFS Storage Solutions support multiple networks and dynamic failover in case one of the network connections is down.

BUDDY MIRRORING

BeeGFS Buddy Mirroring automatically replicates data, handles storage server failures transparently for running applications and provides automatic self-healing.

3 YEAR WARRANTY

Have peace of mind, focus on what matters most, knowing your system is backed by a 3 year warranty and support.

BeeGFS Parallel Storage

Exxact BeeGFS Parallel Storage Solutions are built from the ground up and optimized for performance-critical workloads. BeeGFS workloads are efficiently multi-threaded and light-weight and supports all the popular interconnects including RDMA/RoCE and TCP (Infiniband, Omni-Path, 100/40/10/1GbE,). Our solutions provide aggregated throughput of multiple servers, while also distributing metadata across multiple servers and provide high single stream performance.

Networking

BeeGFS clients accessing the data inside the file system communicate with the storage servers via network, via any TCP/IP based connection or via RDMA-capable networks like InfiniBand (IB), Omni-Path (OPA) and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). This is similar for the communication between the BeeGFS servers.

Infiniband or Ethernet

Our HPC experts can help find the best interconnect solution for your BeeGFS storage needs.

BeeGFS Management Node

The BeeGFS Management Service serves as a rendevouz point for (new) servers and (new) clients while also watching registered services and state checking. Management servers are not critical for performance, and store no user data.

TensorEX TS1-135587292-GFS

This TensorEX 1U is a rack mountable BeeGFS Parallel Storage management or metadata node supporting 2x Intel Xeon Scalable family processor, a maximum of 1 TB DDR4 memory, and 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots.

BeeGFS Metadata Node

The Metadata servers perform a vital function to store information about the data such as:

Directory information.
File and directory ownership.
Location of user data files on storage targets.

It's recommended to operate metadata servers in failsafe mode. (primary: meta02, secondary: meta01).

Flash Storage Node

Flash based BeeGFS storage targets can be combined into a "Fast Pool" and tied to a directory used for active/higher-performance I/O work. The goal of these flash drives is to provide optimum access speed for the projects on which the users are currently working.

Storage Node

These robust storage servers perform the bulk storage functions including storing user file contents (data chunk files). Storage servers can manage one or more storage targets - in general, any directory on an existing local file system, typically a RAID volume, either internal or externally attached.

MACHINE LEARNING & DEEP LEARNING

While datasets grow at an ever increasing rate our solutions are made to scale easily to meet the needs of modern deep learning & machine learning practitioners.

SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING

BeeGFS is popular among universities and researchers and is the workhorse of modern supercomputers to accelerate data analysis and scientific discovery.

ADVANCED HEALTHCARE

Deliver better patient care and make quicker, more accurate diagnoses of conditions by analyzing your massive datasets with BeeGFS.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Reduce storage bottlenecks and get the edge on the market with a scalable BeeGFS solution that can handle large volumes of transactions.

MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT

With ever increasing demand for high quality streaming media, companies need a solution that can scale production and deliver clear real-time information.

BeeGFS Storage Pools For Multi-Tiered Storage Targets

BeeGFS allows for creation of multple Storage Pools for segmenting the BeeGFS storage into multiple tiers of storage based on BeeGFS storage targets.

FLASH-BASED

BeeGFS-storage targets can be combined into a "Fast Pool" and tied to a directory used for active/ higher-performance I/O work.

HDD-BASED

BeeGFS-storage targets can be combined (or left in the default storage pool) and used in either a defined directory or as the default for the rest of the BeeGFS storage pool for archiving or work that doesn't need to be done on the "Fast Pool".
