Infoblox appliances are purpose-built, high-performance hardware devices that form the foundation of Infoblox core network services solutions. Infoblox appliances ship standard with the security-hardened Infoblox NIOS® software and support a variety of Infoblox software packages tailored for specific applications. All models can be deployed individually or in high-availability (HA) pairs for optimal service resiliency.

Unlike alternatives that are based on general-purpose server hardware, Infoblox appliances have no extraneous hardware interfaces—such as keyboard, monitor or mouse ports or CD drives—making them the only true network services appliances available on the market and providing the most secure and reliable platform for essential, nonstop core network services.

Appliance delivery of core network services has become a recommended industry best practice, because appliances are inherently more reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure than general-purpose, server-software-based architectures. Purpose-built appliances consolidate core network services into a unified architecture that can be efficiently administered and monitored enterprise-wide.

The Infoblox appliance family supports a wide range of models that are right-sized to deliver the performance, capacity and availability required in each unique environment from the smallest branch office to the largest enterprise. All of the appliance models run Infoblox NIOS software.
