Cloud RADIUS

The largest cloud RADIUS in the world: 500 million logins a year, nothing to patch

A 99.9% RADIUS uptime SLA on a platform with 99.999% uptime, and multi-region failover with regions in the UK, EU and US. Managed PKI issues and auto-renews every certificate. Replacing Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, Microsoft NPS and FreeRADIUS is usually a weekend exercise.

  • 99.9% RADIUS uptime SLA
  • 99.999% uptime
  • 500 million logins a year
  • Managed PKI

99.999% is the uptime the Purple platform runs at. 99.9% is the cloud RADIUS SLA in your contract: the floor we commit to in writing. Multi-region failover across the UK, EU and US sits behind both.

Migration

Off ISE, ClearPass, NPS or FreeRADIUS, usually in a weekend

Usually a weekend, and we do the mapping with you. Send us your ISE or ClearPass policy export, or your NPS or FreeRADIUS config. Every enforcement policy becomes a directory group, a VLAN and a RADIUS attribute. Posture moves to your MDM's compliance state through Conditional Access. Certificates move to Purple's managed PKI.

Connect the directory

Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, synced over SCIM.

Point the access points at Purple

Any of Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme and Fortinet.

Retire the old server

Nothing left to patch, back up or fail over. Ever. Failover is ours, across regions in the UK, EU and US.

FAQ

Common questions

What uptime does cloud RADIUS carry?

99.999% is the uptime the Purple platform runs at. 99.9% is the cloud RADIUS SLA in your contract: the floor we commit to in writing. Multi-region failover across the UK, EU and US sits behind both.

How big is it?

The largest cloud RADIUS in the world: 500 million logins a year and about 2 million people onboarded every day, at 80,000+ venues in 90 countries.

Where does it run?

In regions in the UK, EU and US, on Google Cloud.

How is it priced?

Per access point per year, with no per-device or per-authentication meter.

We have hundreds of ClearPass policies and years of profiling. Is that really a weekend?

Yes, usually a weekend. Send us the export and a Purple engineer maps every policy to a group, a VLAN and a RADIUS attribute with you before the weekend arrives.

Where does eduroam fit?

Beside the three, as its own SSID. In education, eduroam makes it four. Open, secure and xPSK carry your visitors, staff, halls and devices, and eduroam keeps doing its roaming job.

Plan your RADIUS cutover

Send us your current setup. We map every policy and plan the cutover from ISE, ClearPass, NPS or FreeRADIUS with you. All in a 45-minute design session.
