<span style="color: #000000">This topic lists the details of supported vNIOS appliances that can be deployed in public Azure clouds and in Azure Stack Hub.</span>

> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ - For the new vNIOS for Azure models supported from NIOS 9.0.1 onwards, Infoblox recommends that you use SSDs for storage for better performance. See the tables in this topic for supported models.
> ⚠️ - If a Trinzic X5 vNIOS instance is running on a NIOS version prior to 9.0.1, the overall disk size will be set to 250 GB.

To achieve an optimum performance, you must select the disk type (`sku`) of a vNIOS instance as `Premium LRS`.

## Trinzic Appliances

The below table lists the models of vNIOS for Azure appliances supported in NIOS 9.0.1 and later. These models support the cloud platform feature. To use the feature, you must install the Cloud Platform license. For more information, refer to the *Managing Licenses in NIOS 9.0.1* topic in the *[Infoblox NIOS Documentation](https://docs.infoblox.com/space/NIOS/35400616/NIOS)*.
