If you have virtualized the traditional appliance-based
network infrastructure at your branch or remote office with the
Cisco 5400 Series Enterprise Network Compute System
(ENCS) appliance, you
can use Enterprise
NFV Infrastructure Software (
NFVIS) to deploy the VM-Series
firewall within your Cisco network. The VM-Series firewall serves
as a virtual network function (VNF) with next-generation firewall capabilities
to safely enable all applications and protect your branch
or remote office users and network from threats.
