Makani's RADIUS server has announced at the world's largest security RSA 2011 conference – includes some of the most innovative features available in the market today. It is easy of use, scalable, and features a plug-in architecture providing support for any new functionality or network element.

MakRADIUS offers true performance with Tier-1 reliability and scalability to support millions of subscribers as well as support for built-in distributed fail-over mechanisms. MakRADIUS centrally manages and secures network access, enforcing access rights over virtually any combination of network environments. Using custom-tailored algorithms, MakRADIUS implements rule-based authentication giving complete manageability over network, user or server app resources.

MakRADIUS is vendor independent allowing use of third party access servers or any combination of them or any other RADIUS enabled product. MakRADIUS uses an external ODBC compliant database for either a single centralized database or a fully-replicated distributed database with centralized web-based control. Multiple distributed MakRADIUS servers can be chained together for high availability and reliability, and support for remote Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) implies that any off-the-shelf software or any third-party server can be easily supported by MakRADIUS.

MakRADIUS turns the web browser into a remote control. The RADIUS server can be accessed from anywhere in the world over secure SSL, with no client side installation. All needed is a web browser in order to configure settings from anywhere, view all currently online sessions, modify records, and more.

The MakRADIUS product from Makani Networks solves a significant but a fundamental problem of distributed network, user, or server app authentication over the Internet.
