Plusnet Achieves Continuous Availability of AAA Services with MySQL Cluster and FreeRADIUS

Plusnet upgraded their AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) platform to the FreeRADIUS server and MySQL Cluster database in order to address increased demands resulting from:

• rapid service proliferation over fixed and wireless networks
• a quickly growing user base
• The need for continuous network access and accounting demanded by more stringent SLAs

Since deployment, the new MySQL Cluster and FreeRADIUS AAA platform has provided:

• Continuously available AAA services
• Accurate billing and revenue assurance by maintaining data integrity in real-time
• Accelerated time to market of new services with less cost and complexity due to built-in database redundancy and automated self-healing
• New levels of flexibility to scale RADIUS servers independently of their database
• Higher levels of infrastructure and management efficiency resulting from consolidation of multiple databases
