BeeGFS Parallel File System
BeeGFS high-performance parallel file system installation and management. Scalable storage for HPC, AI/ML and big data workloads.
What is BeeGFS Parallel File System?
BeeGFS is the industry-standard parallel file system that enables hundreds of compute cores to read and write data simultaneously at high speed. It eliminates storage bottlenecks across a wide range from HPC clusters to AI/ML training platforms. Mevasis, with its ThinkParQ-certified engineers, manages the entire BeeGFS lifecycle end-to-end — from planning and installation to integration and monitoring.
The real value of a BeeGFS system lies not in the software itself, but in the correct hardware selection, an optimized network topology and properly tuned striping parameters for each workload. That difference is what we are here to deliver.

How Does a BeeGFS Deployment Work?
Mevasis's BeeGFS deployment process follows three phases: the existing infrastructure is analyzed and requirements are defined; then the hardware and software layers are configured; and finally the monitoring infrastructure is brought online and the team is trained.
Analysis and Planning
Current storage bottlenecks are measured; capacity, bandwidth and IOPS requirements are calculated; and hardware and topology design is completed.
Installation and Integration
BeeGFS server and client components are installed; integration with SLURM, PBS or Kubernetes is established; and workload-specific striping parameters are optimized.
Monitoring and Support
A Grafana/Prometheus monitoring dashboard is deployed, alert thresholds are defined and ongoing technical support is provided within agreed SLA bounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
BeeGFS should be chosen when hundreds of processors must access large data sets simultaneously. Workloads such as molecular dynamics simulations, deep learning training jobs, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and genomic analysis demand far more bandwidth and IOPS than a single storage server can provide. If your current NFS or local-disk solution has become a storage bottleneck — processor utilization is low but jobs are progressing slowly — BeeGFS is the right choice.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
Mevasis manages BeeGFS deployments end-to-end: from capacity and network topology planning through hardware selection, installation and configuration, integration with SLURM or Kubernetes, and the setup of an operational monitoring stack. Our team consists of ThinkParQ-certified engineers who have successfully deployed multiple production BeeGFS systems. Post-deployment maintenance and performance optimization services are also within our scope.
How is pricing structured?
BeeGFS deployment cost varies by storage capacity, number of servers, network infrastructure and service scope. Because every project is different, a fixed list price is not practical.
