DESCRIPTION:Discover how modern parallel file systems enable scalable and 
 efficient data management for high-performance computing and artificial in
 telligence.This webinar introduces BeeGFS\, a leading parallel file syste
 m designed to support demanding HPC\, AI\, and data-intensive workloads. E
 xperts from ThinkParQ will explain how parallel file systems work\, how Be
 eGFS is architected\, and how it is used in practice across academic\, res
 earch\, and industrial environments.\nDate and Time:Thursday\, March 5th\,
  2026 | 14:00 – 15:30 CETOnline | Free Registration\nREGISTER HERE: http
 s://conf.e-science.pl/event/121/\nThis webinar is organized by the Polish
  National Competence Centre in HPC as part of the EuroCC project (NCC P
 oland) in cooperation with ThinkParQ.\nThe webinar will be held in Engli
 sh.\nAbstract:\nAs high-performance computing and artificial intelligence 
 workloads continue to grow in scale and complexity\, efficient data access
  becomes a critical factor for overall system performance. Parallel file s
 ystems address this challenge by enabling concurrent access to distributed
  storage resources\, supporting highly parallel and data-intensive applica
 tions.\nThis webinar introduces the fundamental concepts of parallel file 
 systems and their role in modern HPC environments\, with a focus on BeeGFS
 . The session will explain BeeGFS architecture and core components\, key d
 esign principles\, and features supporting performance\, scalability\, and
  ease of management. Topics will include data management capabilities intr
 oduced in BeeGFS 8\, on-demand storage with BeeOND\, and an overview of co
 mmunity and enterprise editions.\nReal-world reference stories from HPC\, 
 AI\, and enterprise environments will be discussed to illustrate how BeeGF
 S is applied in practice. The webinar will conclude with a discussion and 
 Q&A session.\nOutline:\n\nIntroduction and motivation: data challenges in
