+AFS is a distributed network filesystem originially developed as part of the [[AndrewProject]] at [[CarnegieMellonUniversity]] in the mid 1980's. It provides a number of useful features over traditional network filesystems, including:
+
+- [[AccessControlLists]]
+- [[UserManagedGroups]]
+- [[KerberosAuthentication]]
+- Transparent volume moves
+- [[VolumeReplication]]
+
+Today there are three major implementations of the AFS3 protocol:
+
+- [[IBMAFS]]
+- [[OpenAFS]]
+- [[ArlaAFS]]
+
+Elsewhere on this site are a guide to [[GettingStarted]] with AFS, some [[AncientHistory]], and a variety of AFS3 [[ProtocolInfo]].
