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 file sharing, providing location independence,
|
|
scalability and transparent migration capabilities for data. IBM
|
|
branched the source of the AFS product, and made a copy of the source
|
|
available for community development and maintenance. They called the
|
|
release OpenAFS.
