The first production server for Finnish Top-Level RADIUS was built utilising Shuttle based Linux server.

The Shuttle commodity hardware based server was selected based on the idea it was reasonably priced and could be replaced very quickly with similar hardware. There were also rumors that even Google was using this kind of servers at that time.

This server served from 2004 to 2009 without any hardware problems and is still functional although not in use.

Sami Keski-Kasari is there behind the rack installing the server.

These are our two servers. The one on the left runs a Via C3 2000+ with 128 mb ram. It is our wireless and wired gateway, acting as a firewall between our unsecure WAN network (which the server on the right is connected to) and our wired and wireless networks. The wireless network is a captive portal with username and password access. The server on the right is a Dell Poweredge with a 2.8ghz Xeon processor and 512mb DDR-registered ram. We use it as our web, database, file, and RADIUS authent. server.
