This release of BloxOne Threat Defense introduces a new workflow that streamlines the deployment of DNS forwarding proxies. The workflow uses a secure join token mechanism to authenticate and deploy virtual appliances that you configure in your VM environments. For information about deployment options, see Deploying On-Prem Hosts. |

When you enable NIOS appliances as on-prem hosts, the QPS (query per second) throughput might vary, depending on your appliance models and the cache hit ratios. You might see a bigger performance impact when the cache hit ratio is lower. In general, NIOS can forward at least 3,500 QPS to BloxOne Threat Defense Cloud. For standalone installations, the QPS may vary depending on the hardware used and the cache hit. However, the number of QPS could fall in the range of 3,500 when you deploy an OVA with the recommended minimum system requirements. For more information, see Minimum System Requirements for On-Prem Hosts. |
