Its taken them years to understand they actually have a choice and can save UK taxpayers a huge amount of money and have a better safer system. Let's hope they don't mess it up.

Yes! AFS is excellent for this. I work in a multi-national team we use AFS to share access to one filespace using AIX, Linux, Windows. IMHO, it's simply brilliant.
The AFS transport protocol "Rx" is optimised to work well over WAN. It's definitely *not* NFS and has a whole bunch of systems management tools.
A very neat thing about AFS is that it is scalable - it can be grown to meet your needs dynamically: you can add new servers to your AFS cell and move data between servers "live" with no outages.
You can also use RAM cache instead of disk cache for faster access to cached files.
Love it love it love it
AFS is dependent on your network which needs to be reliable and fast.

Absolutely agree. Simple and efficient way to block one spam injection method.
Many companies now outsource their security
to what is perceived to be lower cost places
around the world: eg: India and Argentina
Now that's what you call trust.
