FraunhoferFS (FhGFS) is the high-performance parallel file system from the Fraunhofer Competence Center for High Performance Computing. Its distributed metadata architecture has been designed to provide the scalability and flexibility that is required to run today's most demanding HPC applications.

FhGFS is provided free of charge. Commercial support is available directly from Fraunhofer or from our international partners.
