The detail accounting only grows in the tune of 3GB per month. The MySQL database is on another server. As for the MySQL server you may need more 1-2GB, so 4GB is more than enough for a dedicated server without bloat and FreeRadius + MySQL). My CPU requirements are also *very* low, two CPUs load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05.</div>

A server with Xeon 2.4 GHz dual core CPU, 4-8GB RAM, 250GB 7.2k SATA hard drive, dual port gigabit NIC will be sufficient for your system. You can achieve 10 auths/sec easily with most default settings on radius and samba/winbind.<br>

I am not sure about the certificate size. But it will be using 2048bit key. The concurrent authentication request will be less than 10 per second. Backend authentication will use Active Directory.<br>
<br>
thanks.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
> Does FreeRadius has a server sizing guide to help people to choose the right hardware? I want to deploy two Linux servers(on VMware) in active/standby mode to serve maximum 5k PEAP authentication users. What would be the recommended server specs(such as CPU,RAM,Storage,IOPs) for this deployment?<br>
<br>
certificate size? concurrent authentication requests? backend authentication method?<br>
<br>
there is no direct sizing guide but there are benchmarking tools that you can use to get a measure of performance/capacity<br>
