The present invention provides a hardware acceleration method and a communications system. The hardware acceleration method includes: sending, by a network functions virtualization orchestrator (NFVO), first request information to a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM), wherein the first request information is configured to request the VIM to deploy the to-be-accelerated VNF onto a host in a management domain of the VIM, wherein a hardware resource of the host meets a requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF, and the requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF includes information indicating a type of a required hardware acceleration resource and a size of the required hardware acceleration resource in the to-be-accelerated VNF; receiving, by the VIM, the first request information from the NFVO; and deploying, by the VIM, the to-be-accelerated VNF onto the host in the management domain of the VIM.

Hardware acceleration method and related device

The present disclosure provides a hardware acceleration method and a related device. The hardware acceleration method includes: determining, by a functional entity, a requirement of a to-be-accelerated virtualized network function VNF; determining, by the functional entity, a target virtualized infrastructure manager VIM; and deploying, by the functional entity, the to-be-accelerated VNF onto a target host in a management domain of the target VIM by using the target VIM. In the present invention, the functional entity deploys the to-be-accelerated VNF onto the target host whose hardware matching resource meets the requirement in the to-be-accelerated VNF, so that the type of the hardware acceleration resource required in the to-be-accelerated VNF can match a type of the hardware matching resource of the target host, and the hardware matching resource of the target host can meet an acceleration requirement of the to-be-accelerated VNF, thereby effectively improving performance of the to-be-accelerated VNF.

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for configuring a redundancy data center in a cloud computing architecture. The method includes receiving a request for configuring a redundancy data center DC for a specified network service NS; acquiring, from an affinity relationship information bank of application objects according to the request for configuring a redundancy DC, information about an affinity and/or anti-affinity relationship among application objects that support the specified network service, where application objects having an affinity relationship rare deployed in a same DC, and application objects having an anti-affinity relationship are deployed in different DCs; and selecting, from deployed DCs, a redundancy DC for the specified network service according to redundancy resource information of the deployed DCs and the acquired information about an affinity and/or anti-affinity relationship.
