Abstract
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.
