Techopedia explains Cloud Enabler
Cloud enablers are primarily IT firms that develop hardware, software, storage, networking and other related product serving as a cloud environment component. For example, an organization that develops virtualization hypervisor enables the development of virtual machines, virtual private servers and other virtualization based cloud solutions.
A cloud enabler differs from a cloud service provider, as the latter utilizes technologies built by the former to deliver cloud services to end users and other organizations.
