One or more SLA-specified service-level monitors and / or one or more provider-owned service-level management monitors are used by the invention to monitor one or more quality measures of one or more QoS-assured service systems and to generate one or more service-level monitoring events when the monitored system does not conform to the respective quality measures. The invention includes a cross-SLA event manager that receives the monitoring events and determines which one or more SLA contracts are affected by the events. Then one or more SLA management objects (SMOs) track the SLA-specific events generated by the event manager according to each of the respective SLA contracts. The SMOs also determine how to allocate / deallocate / configure SLA management resources and / or to determine the effect of these changes on the service system operation to assure the contracted quality of service. A cross-SLA resource manager handles the SMOs' resource allocation requests and optimizes the allocation of available resources per the service provider's SLA management objectives. Finally, a SMO manager manages the execution of SMOs and facilitates the integration and management of service system testing-time and production-time activities.

The invention discloses a virtual network function deployment method, device and system adopting NEC (network edge computing) to reduce service delay and improve service quality. According to the method, a central VNFC (virtual network function component) receives first position information sent by a user terminal, then transmits a creation request message used for creating an edge VNFC to a VNFM (virtual network function manager) and creates the first position information carried in a first request message; the VNFM transmits the first request message used for creating a virtual machine or container of the edge VNFC to a VIM (virtualized infrastructure manager) after receiving the creation request message, and the first request message carries the first position information and a mirror image of the edge VNFC; the VIM determines an edge server on the basis of the first position information and deploys the edge VNFC on the edge server on the basis of the mirror image of the edge VNFC. Accordingly, the deployment position of an edge NFC (network function component) in an NEC scene approaches the position of a user, service delay is reduced, and the service quality is improved.
