Open Source on AIMSTRONG

All AIMSTRONG appliances are tested with leading open-source solutions. OPNsense is available pre-installed. No software lock-in: the platform is yours.

Dedicated roles on site

Besides open source, AIMSTRONG takes on dedicated tasks in your network. AIMdefense protects the site as its firewall. The three COD roles handle access control, secured access and monitoring on site for the central platform.

AIMdefense

Next Generation Firewall from Germany, software-first. Runs on every AIMSTRONG class.

COD-NAC

Network access control on site. The appliance runs the RADIUS service based on FreeRADIUS. The central platform controls it and supplies its certificates.

COD-JumpHost

Secured access point into isolated network segments. Through it, the central platform also reaches systems that are not directly reachable. It runs on a dedicated appliance, separate from NAC and monitoring.

COD-Monitoring

Monitoring on site. The appliance collects metrics with Zabbix and forwards them as a proxy to the central server. In small environments, the server runs on the appliance as well.

The right class depends on your site, for example on the number of devices in the network. We size it together with you. We also clarify which roles can share one appliance.

Tested open-source solutions

OPNsense

FreeBSD-based firewall and routing platform, available pre-installed on AIMSTRONG.

Proxmox VE

Virtualization platform for virtual machines and containers.

IPFire

Hardened Linux firewall distribution with a modular design.

PacketFence

Network access control (NAC) solution for wired and wireless networks.

flexiWAN

Open SD-WAN solution for connecting distributed sites.

pfSense® CE

Proven open-source firewall distribution for routing, firewalling and VPN.

RELIANOID

Open-source solution for load balancing and application delivery.

Zabbix

Monitoring software for networks, servers and services.
In small environments, Zabbix runs as the server directly on the AIMSTRONG, because little computing power is needed.
Larger environments need high availability. Zabbix then runs as the server on AIMcompute servers, and the AIMSTRONG works on site as a proxy.

Proven in production on AIMSTRONG for years.

FreeRADIUS

Widely used open-source RADIUS server for network authentication, for example via 802.1X on switches and Wi-Fi.
On AIMSTRONG, it runs as the authentication service on site.

Proven in production on AIMSTRONG for years.
