[RADIATOR] VM or physical

[Mark Picone]

We have been running radius (and ~90% of our infrastructure) on VMs (ESX/vSphere) for 5+ years without any issues.
We currently have 6 active servers behind an F5 load balancer which easily handles all our internal 802.1x etc. for our two main campuses.

Subject: [RADIATOR] VM or physical

Greetings everyone!

We are in process of virtualising our physical radius servers (to vmware) and wanted to get a general feel from users in the community here to see what is the preferred option, keep running on physical servers or move to vm... Obviously each option has it's own benefits and limitations, but as far as Radiator itself, any word of advise on what is the better platform? Anyone had any issues with running under vm worth mentioning?

Current Radiator servers setup in an active/active configuration with each of those servers processing around 1200 packets/min of dot1x auth for wireless networks and VPN with a number of handlers with pre/post hooks etc...

Thanks,
Sasha.
