Freeradius advocacy needed for convincing corporate management
My greetings to the list. The company I work is one of the largest ISPs in Greece. We are evaluating the possibility to move away from our current radius software (FUNK Radius now Juniper) in favour of freeradius. We as technical people understand all the benefits of the move (and it would also give us opportunity to contribute to the project). However management would like to hear stuff like - Any large installations that use freeradius effectively today (commercial environments preffered). This would give us arguments in favour of freeradius scalability and reliability - Possibility to have commercial support Anyone who can contribute arguments or facts is more than welcome.

Most commercial installations won't publicly say they're using it. I know of multiple national ISP's with millions of users who've replaced commercial servers with FreeRADIUS. But they don't want me to mention their names, sorry. An alternative is to see who's subscribed to this list. Past posts include people from DHL, among other large companies. Alan DeKok.

Thanks very much for all the information. I hope the effort (of convincing) turns out OK. -- Kostas Zorbadelos m@il contact: kzorba (at) otenet.gr Out there in the darkness, out there in the night out there in the starlight, one soul burns brighter than a thousand suns.
