Building on more than two decades of reliable, secure and market-leading network solutions, this release reimagines NIOS software maintenance to give customers more visibility and control during upgrades and greater peace of mind. All customers can benefit from these updates, but for those still using NIOS 8.X, there\u2019s never been a better time to upgrade.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s New in NIOS 9.0.6? <\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gain Peace of Mind with the Long-Term Support Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NIOS 9.0.6 introduces a new Long-Term Support (LTS) program that provides a longer support life and a more consistent experience for NIOS updates.\u202fKey changes include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-spacing\">\n<li><strong>LTS Program<\/strong>: By moving to an LTS model, Infoblox is committing to deliver a new LTS release train roughly every two years, providing a longer-term foundation for your mission-critical DDI platform. With guaranteed support for up to 24 months from the time new LTS versions are released, you can schedule fewer major upgrades and minimize risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unified Update Experience Replaces Consolidated Hotfixes (CHFs)<\/strong>: Previously, Infoblox customers used one interface for major NIOS upgrades and a separate CHF interface for interim updates and bugfixes. With NIOS 9.0.6, you\u2019ll have the same consistent experience for all updates, reducing the risk of errors or confusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Simplify Software Upgrades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With NIOS 9.0.6, we\u2019ve improved the software upgrade interface to provide more visibility, control and automation. Key updates include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-spacing\">\n<li><strong>Automated Debugging<\/strong>: The new interface analyzes installations for configuration errors, invalid certificates at both member and group levels, and other issues that could cause updates to fail. Previously, customers performed these checks manually, if at all. Now, upgrades cannot proceed until they\u2019ve passed all checks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enhanced Visibility and Control<\/strong>: You can now track the progress of all members and groups performing upgrades, and schedule member and group upgrades to keep critical DDI services online throughout the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved Logging<\/strong>:\u202fThe updated interface collects more extensive log information during upgrades, accelerating troubleshooting in the unlikely event of an issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Move Up to a Faster, Simpler, Feature-Rich NIOS 9.X Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Customers migrating from NIOS 8.X will get all the benefits of the new LTS program in a NIOS version that\u2019s 1.5 times faster, 3 times simpler (with just 17 SKUs compared to 50) and includes 100+ new features. Enhancements include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-spacing\">\n<li><strong>Improved Performance<\/strong>: NIOS 9.X optimizes the industry\u2019s premier DDI solution for the hybrid, multi-cloud enterprise. Tap into more than 100 new features and enhancements to ensure that your infrastructure stays secure, available and agile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Simplified Management<\/strong>:\u202fNIOS 9.X paves the way for Universal DDI management across your hybrid, multi-cloud business. It simplifies and automates network operations, reducing management overhead and costs through diverse integrations with cloud orchestration platforms. And it provides centralized visibility to manage all networks\u2014on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments\u2014in the same way, with the same consistent experience.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Future-Ready Integrations<\/strong>:\u202fNIOS 9.X combines the industry-leading DDI solution with state-of-the-art cloud orchestration platforms and automation tools, featuring integrations with Ansible, Terraform and many others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Reduce Costs and Optimize Efficiency with New Certifications and Compliance Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With NIOS 9.0.6, we\u2019ve also certified NIOS on new cloud compute instances and virtualization frameworks and added support for DHCPv6 Fixed Address. Updates include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-spacing\">\n<li><strong>New AWS and Azure Compute Instances<\/strong>:\u202fReduce costs and optimize efficiency of your vNIOS deployment by using the latest-generation compute instances in AWS and Azure.
