Clustering system and clustering method for providing services using multi- access edge computing servers

Abstract

A system and method capable of efficiently using and operating resources and allowing a cluster satisfying requirements of functions/services provided to terminals to be configured of multi-access edge computing (MEC) servers are provided. A clustering systemincludes a monitoring unitconfigured to monitor a usage status of MEC servers and a network and store telemetry information in a storage unit, a cluster planning request unitconfigured to acquire non-telemetry information such as provision area information and requirement information of functions/services and deployment information of the MEC server, store the non-telemetry information in the storage unit, a cluster planning unitconfigured to set a virtual region including one or more bases satisfying a provision area and requirements on the basis of each piece of information in the storage unitand calculate a cluster plan for providing the functions/services from a plurality of MEC servers disposed at the base belonging to the virtual region, and a cluster construction unitconfigured to perform a clustering process on the basis of the cluster plan.
