Subject: BeeGFS Cluster Licensing Quote Request - 12-Node HPC Storage Cluster

Dear ThinkParQ Licensing Team,

I am writing to request a licensing quote for a BeeGFS parallel file system deployment for our HPC cluster at CESNET z.s.p.o., Czech Republic.

CLUSTER OVERVIEW
================
We plan to deploy BeeGFS across 12 identical storage nodes to create a high-performance parallel file system for our HPC infrastructure.

NODE HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS (per node)
=======================================
Server: pea1.meta.zcu.cz (reference node)
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie), kernel 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64

CPU: AMD EPYC 9115 16-Core Processor
  - 16 physical cores / 32 threads per node
  - Base frequency: 1.5 GHz, Max: 2.6 GHz
  - L3 cache: 64 MB

Memory: 188 GB RAM per node

Local Storage (NVMe drives per node):
  - 12x 14 TB NVMe SSDs (VO001536KZEQL)
  - Total raw capacity per node: 168 TB
  
Network Interconnect:
  - InfiniBand (primary storage network) - 10.34.1.0/23
  - 1 GbE Ethernet (management) - 78.128.242.0/24

AGGREGATE CLUSTER CAPACITY (12 nodes)

- Total CPU: 192 cores / 384 threads
- Total RAM: 2,256 GB (~2.2 TB)
- Total Raw Storage: 2,016 TB (~2 PB)
- Total NVMe Drives: 144 drives

DEPLOYMENT INTENT
=================
We intend to configure these 12 nodes as a BeeGFS cluster with:
- Multiple metadata and management services
- Distributed storage targets across all NVMe devices
- High-availability configuration where applicable
- InfiniBand-based RDMA for optimal performance

LICENSING REQUEST
=================
Please provide:
1. Commercial licensing options and pricing for a 12-node BeeGFS cluster
2. Available support tiers and associated costs
3. License duration options (annual, multi-year)
