The document discusses the network enabled cloud and its benefits for telecommunications operators. It describes how network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) can help cloud services elastically scale to meet demand by virtualizing network functions and enabling cross-domain control and orchestration. This creates opportunities for operators to offer innovative applications, simplify operations, and flexibly deploy services to generate new revenue streams through a seamless migration of network infrastructure to the cloud.
