anyone have any experience with how BeeGFS compares to Lustre?
We're looking at both of those for our next generation HPC
storage system. <br>

Is CephFS a valid option for HPC now? Last time I played with
CephFS it wasn't ready for prime time, but that was a few
years ago.</span><br>

Forgive me for saying this, but the philosophy for
software defined storage such as CEPH and Gluster is
that forklift style upgrades should not be necessary.<br>
When a storage server is to be retired the data is
copied onto the new server then the old one taken out of
service. Well, copied is not the correct word, as there
are erasure-coded copies of the data. Rebalanced is
probaby a better word.<br>

I'd seen/helped build/benchmarked some very nice/fast CephFS
based storage systems in $dayjob-1. While it is a neat
system, if you are focused on availability, scalability, and
performance, its pretty hard to beat BeeGFS. We'd
($dayjob-1) deployed several very large/fast file systems
with it on our spinning rust, SSD, and NVMe units.<span
