<div>We are just planning to deploy AFM as a cache tier for our HPC cluster and bulk data storage. So whilst they are locally connected etc, I can use a different type of storage for performance for HPC work. Bulk data has two copies over two data centres,
so the AFM cache would ACK the write to the HPC client and then "push it as soon as possible" to the home (bulk data storage and do the two copies).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Similarly for ingest systems, for example streaming data off instruments, you might want to do really really fast (to a flash system) and then have the AFM write to home at some point. (of course your cache capacity needs to be sufficiently large that
you are able to push writes/expel).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the flip side, I don't think AFM has remote identity mapping (someone might correct me on that of course)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I don't think its just about data location/connectivity.</div>
