Marc,

Thanks for your comments. This posting was specific to NFVIS, just one of the components to Enterprise NFV. In a related blog, Liad Ofek goes over the value propositions of ENFV (http://blogs.cisco.com/enterprise/what-is-enterprise-nfv). I wrote a technical white paper with my friend and colleague Matthias Falkner that contains a section on the initial VNFs that will be included (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise-networks/enterprise-network-functions-virtualization-nfv/white-paper-c11-736783.html).

It's always difficult to draw the line on ho much should be inside each post and frankly i thought that the two i referenced above were going to be included in the links on the original.

Take a look through and if you still have any questions let us know. We are also running an "Ask The Expert" event on NFV today at https://communities.cisco.com/community/technology/enterprise_networks/blog/2016/03/04/ask-the-experts-re-enterprise-nfv.
