OpenAFS Use Cases

It goes without saying that we believe OpenAFS to be valuable technology. Yet without user adoption, what we think is of little import.

Specific use cases for OpenAFS may shed light on how this technology has been employed in real life. A collection of success stories should not only reflect our pride in OpenAFS but also tell you about situations when OpenAFS technology "saved the day:"

• Stanford Linear Accelerator (research)

• ParallelDatorCentrum, Center for Parallel Computers at KTH (research)

• Pictage, Inc. (business)

• NCSA at UIUC (educational institution)

• United States Geological Survey (government)

• Duke University (educational institution)

Last but not least, in our user testimonials, you can read verbatim what experienced OpenAFS users think.
