I doubt that there are any such products or that ADSM will be enhanced in
this way.

We have also an AFS cell and are interested in HSM. The most promising
idea seems to be to migrate to DFS. The fact that DFS does not
necessarily come with its own file system but may use the native one
might open up easier ways to combine DFS with HSM. Up to now, these are
just dreams, however.
