Name: OpenAFS
Home page: http://www.openafs.org/
Description:
AFS is a distributed filesystem product, pioneered at Carnegie Mellon
University and supported and developed as a product by Transarc
Corporation (now IBM Pittsburgh Labs). It offers a client-server
architecture for federated file sharing and replicated read-only content
distribution, providing location independence, scalability, security,
and transparent migration capabilities. AFS is available for a broad
range of heterogeneous systems including UNIX, Linux, MacOS X, and
Microsoft Windows.
