Service availability management method and device and NFV (Network Function Virtualization) architecture of service availability management device

Abstract

The invention discloses a service availability management method and device and an NFV (Network Function Virtualization) architecture of the service availability management device, relates to the field of communications, and solves the problem of poor service availability experience caused by large difference between a service availability level which actually can be provided when resources are allocated to a corresponding type of service and a service availability level required by an operator. The invention adopts the specific scheme that the service availability management method comprises the steps of: acquiring a service availability level of a service to be deployed; according to the service availability level of the service to be deployed, based on an availability strategy library, determining parameter information, which is related to availability, of resources corresponding to the service availability level of the service to be deployed; and according to the parameter information, which is related to availability, of the resources corresponding to the service availability level of the service to be deployed, based on a resource information library, allocating and configuring the corresponding resources to the service to be deployed, wherein the resources include at least one of the following resources: an infrastructure resource, a non HA software resource and an HA software resource. The service availability management method and device and the NFV architecture which are disclosed by the invention, are used in the service availability management process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a service availability management method, device and network function virtualization framework thereof. Background technique [0002] In 2012, operators released a white paper on network function virtualization (English: Network Function Virtualization, referred to as: NFV), and announced the establishment of the NFV industry standard organization (English: Industry Standard) in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (English: European Telecommunications Standards Institute, referred to as: ETSI). Group, referred to as: ISG). The purpose of operators establishing NFV ISG is to define the requirements of operators' network function virtualization and related technical reports. Some network functions are implemented in switches and storage. As we all know, NFV technology has its unique NFV standard architecture, and in order to cope with future competition and chall...
