AFS (Andrew File System) is a distributed file system that provides a file space architecture aimed at dispersed computing environments and a set of tools geared toward ease of use and manageability. Pioneered at Carnegie Mellon University and developed as a product by TransArc Corporation (now IBM Pittsburgh Labs), it was released as open source by IBM in 2000. AFS offers client-server architecture for file sharing, providing location independence, scalability and transparent migration capabilities for data.

Our team is dedicated to the long-term success of OpenAFS; we have been contributing thousands of hours of development time and a large amount of financial resources to the enhancement and maintenance of OpenAFS. Sine Nomine Associates is committed to the core values of open source development openness and seeks to align our development effort with the long-term plans and goals of the OpenAFS community.
