And as an IT operators, you'll all understand those requirements, so it's really not that different compared to Telco operators.
Just remember that ETSI NFV is more than all that: you probably saw Ericsson speaking about high-level telco functions: MANO, VIM, EMS and VNFs, etc... that's beyond the scope of you guys, and probably outside the scope of all of the Openstack world.. that's why OPNFV exists.
