Network function virtualization is considered as an important shift in the telecommunications and has received huge attention recently. However, efficiently running virtualized services is not trivial, as, among other initialization steps, it requires mapping virtual networks on physical networks. The paper addresses the mobile network virtualization. The objective of the study is to improve the efficiency of mobile networks through optimal resource allocation in hybrid data center environment. In this direction, the paper proposes an approach to model and investigate the dynamic allocation of network functions on a telecommunication operator's network. The method can be used in the management of deployment of network functions in heterogeneous hardware environment in order to minimize operator costs and maintain the required quality of experience.
