  5. Only few words on AFS @ CERN • Probably the oldest and most consolidated service of the IT department • Repository of files and home directories for thousands of users • Repository of files and documents for thousands of projects • A global namespace, accessible worldwide, shared between desktops, interactive and batch servers • AFS is in the dependency list of the LHC experiments • A strategic, critical service for CERN. • In addition … • unprecedented usage growth • excellent reliability and scalability • running on low cost, commodity hardware • What are we missing for the perfect online file system ?

  6. Computing without borders Welcome to the IT department, Welcome to the European AFS and Kerberos Conference
