Infoblox vNIOS virtual appliances are full-featured software instances of the NIOS operating system built for non-Infoblox platforms that take advantage of virtualization technology. By running multiple, virtual instances of servers and/or appliances on a single hardware platform, virtualization reduces the number of physical machines required and delivers the associated benefits of reduced real estate, power, cooling and operations costs.
Like NIOS running on Infoblox hardware, vNIOS includes a full suite of core mission-critical IP network services, which represent the building blocks of a highly automated and resilient network infrastructure: DNS, DHCP, IPAM, FTP, TFTP and HTTP.
