We have worked with MySQL to create two white papers on MySQL scalability and MySQL cluster. They are now available:
1) Delivering Scalable & Highly Available AAA Services This white paper discusses the concepts of current data storage solutions for Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) environments and their potential limitations as network use grows and services become more dynamic. The paper then presents an alternative deployment scenario based on the FreeRADIUS Server and MySQL Cluster serving as the back-end AAA database, providing an infrastructure for high growth and availability, with low complexity. A sizing study and user case study are presented to demonstrate how the solution performs in real-world FreeRADIUS environments Read the whitepaper, posted here: http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql_wp_ha_auth_account.php 2) Deployment Guide: FreeRADIUS with the MySQL Cluster Database This Guide documents a best-practice approach to configuring and testing a FreeRADIUS server deployed with the MySQL Cluster database storage engine serving as the back-end data store for user and accounting data. Deployment topologies and configurations are presented, enabling users to quickly and simply replicate the solution in their own environment.
