iSportsWire -- OpenAFS is a great open-source distributed file system with interfaces for stable legacy systems using IBM and Solaris. This is the fourth of a series of potential use cases for OpenAFS as a tool for AI / LLM infrastructure.

Hybrid Cloud / On-Prem AI Workflows

Use case: Enterprises combining on-prem HPC and cloud compute for LLM fine-tuning.

OpenAFS advantage:

• Acts as a unified data plane bridging on-prem and cloud environments.
• Reduces the need to repeatedly sync datasets between S3, GCS, and on-prem storage.
• Can be integrated with existing Kerberos / LDAP identity management for secure access.
