About Arla
Arla was developed in the late 1990s as an open-source alternative to the AFS (Andrew File System) protocol. It aimed to provide a free, compatible implementation of AFS to facilitate distributed file system operations across networks, ensuring accessibility and consistency for users.
Strengths of Arla include its open-source nature, compatibility with AFS, and ability to provide a distributed file system with strong consistency and security. Weaknesses involve potential performance issues and limited support compared to commercial alternatives. Competitors include OpenAFS, NFS (Network File System), and SMB (Server Message Block).
