OpenAFS is a federated file sharing system that boasts superior strengths: it offers single-namespace, it is unsurpassed in scalability, it is a multi-platform client-server solution, and it is built on open source licensing privileges. OpenAFS grants the benefits of location independence, scalability, and transparent migrations for mission-critical data. As a forerunner to cloud and edge computing, OpenAFS pioneered the very model of cloud storage and of delivering parts of that critical data via on-demand caching at the edge – something easily taken for granted today, but revolutionary in the 1970s! OpenAFS has been in active use by a variety of organizations: government agencies; multi-national corporations in finance, manufacturing and medicine; plus academic and research institutions.  Learn more about OpenAFS.
