AFS is a distributed file system 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, and Microsoft Windows.
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.
All OpenAFS components in one easy to install package. Only available for Windows.
AuriStorFS inherits the strongest features and capabilities of the AFS model, while resolving its biggest limitations, creating a more secure and dependable framework.
