MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056347 titled 'MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a management apparatus that includes various components for controlling and managing a virtualized infrastructure and network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI). These components include a Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM), a NFV-Orchestrator (NFVO), a VNF Manager (VNFM), a detecting unit, and a constructing unit.

  • The VIM is responsible for controlling the NFVI, which provides virtual resources for executing virtual network functions (VNFs) implemented in software.
  • The NFVO is used to realize network services on the NFVI.
  • The VNFM performs management of the VNF.
  • The detecting unit is configured to detect data failure in the VNFM.
  • The constructing unit collects information from the NFVO, VIM, and VNF to construct operation data for a new VNFM when data failure is detected.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network function virtualization (NFV) management and orchestration.
  • Virtualized infrastructure management in cloud computing environments.
  • Automation and optimization of network services deployment and management.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the management and control of virtualized infrastructure and network functions.
  • Enables efficient detection and recovery from data failures in the VNFM.
  • Facilitates the construction of operation data for a new VNFM in case of data failure.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved scalability and flexibility in managing virtualized infrastructure and network functions.
  • Enhanced reliability and fault tolerance through data failure detection and recovery mechanisms.
  • Streamlined deployment and management of network services in NFV environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

a management apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a vim (virtualized infrastructure manager) () configured to perform control of a nfvi (network function virtualization infrastructure), which provides virtual resources for a virtual network function (vnf) () executed as a network function implemented in software, an nfvo (nfv-orchestrator) () for realizing network services on the nfvi, a vnfm (vnf manager) () configured to perform management of the vnf (), a detecting unit () configured to detect data failure in the vnfm, and a constructing unit () configured to construct operation data for a new vnfm by collecting information from the nfvo (), the vim (), and the vnf () in the case where the data failure is detected by the detecting unit.
