Patent number: 11303537Abstract: A management apparatus is configured to manage a network service (NS) constructed on a network (NW) including a core NW configured to serve as a virtualization area and an access NW configured to serve as a non-virtualization area includes an E2EO configured to control the NS, an SVRO configured to control server-type apparatuses located on the NW, and a NWRO configured to control NW-type apparatuses located on the NW. The E2EO includes a single data center (DC) determination unit configured to determine whether a group of apparatuses used for providing the NS is located in a single DC. The group of apparatuses is designated by an order acquired from an upper level apparatus U. Among the NW-type apparatuses, ToRs located in the DC are controlled by the SVRO, instead of by the NWRO, when it is determined that the group of apparatuses is located in the single DC.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Yuichi Suto, Aiko Oi, Motomu Nakajima, Yuji Soejima

Publication number: 20210367863Abstract: [Problem] To improve performance of NS management. [Solution] A management apparatus M for managing an NS constructed on an NW including a virtualization area and a non-virtualization area includes a request reception unit 11 configured to acquire an NS generation order including an input parameter required for designating a server-side apparatus and an NW-side apparatus, from an external apparatus, and a catalog DB 17 that stores a catalog serving as a template of the NS. The catalog includes an NSD being a portion in which a configuration of the NS is described and having a plurality of types of information sets defining a group of constituent elements of the NS in a selectable manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2019Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Motomu Nakajima, Yuichi Suto, Yuji Soejima, Aiko OI, Kosuke Sakata

Publication number: 20210168048Abstract: [Problem] Service responsiveness of a service provided by an intra-DC apparatus is improved. [Solution] A management apparatus M is configured to manage a network service (NS) constructed on a network (NW) including a core NW configured to serve as a virtualization area and an access NW configured to serve as a non-virtualization area includes an E2EO 1 configured to control the NS, an SYRO 2 configured to control server-type apparatuses located on the NW, and a NWRO 3 configured to control NW-type apparatuses located on the NW. The E2EO 1 includes a single data center (DC) determination unit 121 configured to determine whether a group of apparatuses used for providing the NS is located in a single DC. The group of apparatuses is designated by an order acquired from an upper level apparatus U. Among the NW-type apparatuses. ToRs 4 and 4a located in the DC are controlled by the SVRO 2, instead of by the NWRO 3, when it is determined that the group of apparatuses is located in the single DC.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: Yuichi Suto, Aiko Oi, Motomu Nakajima, Yuji Soejima
