Introduction

Infoblox vNIOS for Azure is a virtual appliance designed for deployment as a Virtual Machine (VM) in Microsoft Azure. Infoblox vNIOS for Azure enables you to deploy robust, manageable, and cost effective Infoblox appliances in the Microsoft Cloud.

Infoblox NIOS is the underlying software running on Infoblox appliances and provides core network services and a framework for integrating all the components of the modular Infoblox solution. It provides integrated, secure, and easy-to-manage DNS (Domain Name System), IPAM (IP address management) and other services.

Infoblox vNIOS for Azure appliances can be joined to an existing on-premise or hybrid/multi cloud grid, or the entire grid can run in Azure. The vNIOS appliance can be configured as a primary DNS server for your Azure virtual networks. You can also use Infoblox Cloud Network Automation with vNIOS for Azure to improve visibility of cloud resources and increase the flexibility of your cloud environment.
