    Abstract: Disclosed is an orchestrator, which efficiently manages various applications and management services that are running in a SDN environment. The SDN multi-orchestrator system includes an application layer orchestrator for orchestrating multiple applications provided by a SDN application layer that provides the applications by utilizing network resources with programmatic manners, a control layer orchestrator for orchestrating resource allocation between resource requirements from the applications and for controlling data packet transmission using virtual and physical network resources in a resource layer and a management layer orchestrator for managing multiple management services provided by management layer to coordinate the application layer and the control layer. Accordingly, the multi-orchestrator structure may provide management and orchestration functions in consideration of the characteristics of respective layers, thus providing a more rapid and efficient orchestration function via specialization and automation.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for managing network resources required in a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) environment. A verifier for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) resource allocation includes a network information reception unit for receiving information about network services from Operations Support Systems (OSS) or Business Support Systems (BSS) in an NFV environment, a combination information generation unit for generating combination information made when Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) required by each network service are allocated to physical or virtual network resources, based on the received network service information, and a verification unit for verifying whether the combination information is applicable to available network resources in the NFV environment. Accordingly, a network service provider and a network administrator may detect problems related to resource availability in advance, thus more securely deriving the design of network services and the planning to secure network resources.
