OpenAFS

OpenAFS is a distributed file system that allows multiple computers to share files and data seamlessly over a network. It enables users to access files as if they were on their local machines, regardless of where the files are stored. OpenAFS ensures data is available even if some servers go down, enhancing reliability and performance. It also incorporates access controls, ensuring that only authorized users can read or modify sensitive files. This technology is commonly used in academic and research environments to facilitate collaboration and data sharing among users.
