A virtual server for executing a communication process is implemented on virtualization resources without being inefficient even when different virtualization resource management schemes are included. A management system included in a mobile communication system is configured to include an NFVI which is virtualization resources including a physical server in which a VNF to execute a communication process is generated and includes a VNFM for managing the VNF, a VIM for managing the virtualization resources of the NFVI, and an orchestrator for managing all the virtualization resources of the NFVI, wherein the orchestrator includes a virtual server generation request section configured to input detailed information for implementing the VNF retained by the VNFM, rewrite the input detailed information according to a virtualization resource management scheme by the VIM, and request the VIM to generate the VNF.

Management system, overall management node, and management method for managing virtualization resources in a mobile communication network

Leakage of detailed information for implementing a virtual server to execute a communication process on virtualization resources is prevented. There is provided a management system () included in a mobile communication system () configured to include an NFVI () which is virtualization resources including a physical server generated by a VNF () to execute a communication process, and the system includes a VNFM () for managing the VNF (), a VIM () for managing the virtualization resources of the NFVI (), an orchestrator () for managing all the virtualization resources of the NFVI (), wherein the VNFM () includes a retention section () configured to retain detailed information for implementing the VNF () and a virtual server generation request section () configured to request the VIM () to generate the VNF () using the detailed information.
