Take a look at http://openafs.org/
OpenAFS is based on the IBM/Transarc code and it is well maintained. They provide a list of companies that provide commercial support.
There is also an AFS client included in the standard Linux kernel if that's of any interest.

AFS is good at handling distributed reading of files that are not modified too much concurrently. It's probably not the fastest file system out there, but it's mature and OpenAFS supports a wide range of operating systems.
