Hosts, which are formerly referred to as on-prem hosts, are physical or virtual appliances on which you run BloxOne services according to your license entitlements. Depending on your network infrastructure and how you want to implement hosts, you can deploy them by using Infoblox-provided hardware and OVA packages or via a bare-metal deployment and other supported open platforms. To ensure a successful host deployment of a host, set up your environment according to the BloxOne Connectivity and Service Requirements.
