FreeRADIUS
FreeRADIUS is a free, open-source product, but NI&S maintains an annual support contract with its developers, NetworkFreeRADIUS. Specifically, we pay for support of Conehead and Grub, the two physical hardware devices that provide out-of-band authentication to network infrastructure.
Since our FreeRADIUS enviroment has been incredibly stable, we've have little need for emergency support. The contract has been more useful to present the NetworkRADIUS team with design and implementation questions, or config/code review.
Our contact for contract renewal with NetworkRadius is Marc Rozier (marc.rozier@networkradius.com).
