- Available as hardware appliances and now virtual appliances too
- Automates and simplifies DNSSEC deployment and management
- IPv6 address management
- Provide connectivity using IPv6 DNS (AAAA records) and DNS64
- Lease history for DHCP
- Unified GUI for DHCP and DNS
- Recycle bin to undo mistakes and recover lost items
- IPAM (IP Address Management)
- Extensive logging including audit logging
- Delegated authority for dividing up responsibilities
- DNS appliance and DNS server
- DHCP appliance and DHCP server
- NTP appliance and NTP server

Virtual Appliance
Infoblox vNIOS virtual appliances are full-featured software instances of the NIOS operating system built for non-Infoblox platforms that take advantage of virtualization technology. By running multiple, virtual instances of servers and/or appliances on a single hardware platform, virtualization reduces the number of physical machines required and delivers the associated benefits of reduced real estate, power, cooling and operations costs.
Like NIOS running on Infoblox hardware, vNIOS includes a full suite of core mission-critical IP network services, which represent the building blocks of a highly automated and resilient network infrastructure: DNS, DHCP, IPAM, FTP, TFTP and HTTP.
